Description

An illustration depicts a cake designed to look like a building, presented on a decorative plate. The building-cake is three stories high, colored in shades of pink and tan. On top is a lit candle that looks like it is coming out of a skylight. One of the windows on the second floor features a small Statue of Liberty figurine holding a red balloon. Below, two grey pigeons, one wearing a party hat, peck at crumbs on the plate. The sky is blue with white clouds. The piece is executed in a flat, cartoonish style, with bold outlines and simple shading. It is lighthearted and whimsical.
