S6 Ep2: The Clue of the Crumbling Cake Paintings

Hi there spooky art loving friends! Welcome to the WGP (The Whispering Gallery Podcast). I’m your docent, Suzanne Nikolaisen. Let’s begin our story tonight by following the shadows draping the gallery halls, overflowing with paranormal and strange art mysteries to reach the temporary cake exhibit. But it’s not all still-life cake paintings, gum paste flower sculpture, buttercream, candle magic and sprinkles. There’s more than a dash of memento mori and vanitas—we add in a haunted bakery, and fold together prophetic cakes, cakes to bestow luck, cake rituals -and- even witches cake from the Salem Witch trials in 1691. Wow.
