Look at the image above, does it look like a cupcake you’d like to eat? At first glance the colours may give the impression of a scrumptious cake you’d find at a party. But take a close look at the details. Observe the main cake, what’s inside the icing and what are the elements decorating it.

What do you think the image is about?
Lilly Friedeberg is making a visual commentary about the danger of eating too much sugar. Did you notice the body of the cupcake is actually a snake, the icing has eyeballs in it, and the cherry on top is actually a bomb? Some foods contain hidden sugars and other harmful ingredients such as colourings and preservatives that we are not even aware of.
