Recently, we told you about the cupcake exhibit at Oakland, California's Mama Buzz Cafe. East Bay Express has more info on this delicious art display which runs through February 22nd at Mamma Buzz Cafe and Buzz Gallery:
One wall is covered by Tara Goe’s “Sugar Bombin’,” an installation of cupcake cups surrounding the negative space of falling bombs. Despite the unnerving subject matter, the white paper cups against the cotton-candy missiles present a dissonant note of cheery sugar comfort. Aida Gamez’s “The Cupcake Club: Nancy, Diane, Barbara, Hillary, Condi” also uses cupcake cups, these featuring tiny portraits of female politicos. A bakery case displays all manner of inedible sweet treats: knit cupcakes and petit-fours made of faux grass and cardboard and Katie Byron’s vibrant plate of “What Muffin is This?” -- muffins baked from casting resin.
