Cake Ice Shoes

Joyce de Gruiter

Sweet and Sinful, mixed media sculpture, 2026.

Towering platform heels of pink glaze, irresistible scoops of ice cream, swirls of whipped cream, dripping chocolate, and carefully sculpted layers of biscuit. They seem to come straight from the display window of a Parisian pâtissier, yet a closer look reveals that every detail has been crafted with surgical precision. The dripping chocolate is not chocolate. The soft whipped cream is not soft. And the macaron-cookie high heels are not fragile, but steadfast, quite literally.

Measurements: 35 x 15 x 25 cm.
