Step 1:
Gather your materials. You'll need (more or less): paint stirrer(s), baking pan, candles, icing, sprinkles, water, and some concrete mix.
Step 2:
Pour some of that concrete mix in your pan! Add however much water you think it needs.
Step 3:
Stir it up. Flatten it out. (Or don't.)
Step 4:
Add candles! Add sprinkles!
Step 5:
Wait as long as you can stand it. Maybe eat some icing, 'cause you're in college and your mom can't stop you.
Step 6:
Light it up. Blow the candles out whenever you feel like it.
Step 7:
Use the icing you didn't eat to write something on your cake.
Step 8:
Type somethin' up about your cake!
Overdone
Surrealism is the dream world made tangible. Seemingly contradictory thoughts may coexist peacefully: in an out, positive and negative, war and peace, real and imaginary, here and there. It is the combination of antonyms and synonyms. This piece illustrates that by combining the edible with a material utterly inedible: concrete. What happens to an object when you take away its function (in the case of a cake, to provide nourishment)? What does it become?
