"Twinkle Twinkle Baby" is the name of Andrea Canalito’s delightful sculptures. The yummy looking and gigantic cup cakes complete with sprinkles were the bodies of baby deer. Only the fawns’ cute heads and perky tails show. They all look good enough to eat. Some reactions on the internet included the inevitable "Who killed Bambi?"
These creations were part of her 2008 MFA Thesis Solo Show at Majestic Galleries in Nelsonville Ohio which naturally included cupcakes for refreshments. It took a year’s work to produce her show.
