# Subversive Cake Snapshots Nathan Pask's Darkly Delicious Cake Photography By Cowbag | Published 2010-10-12 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subversive-cake-photography References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Eat-Your-Heart-Out-_-the-Pretox-Potion/744575) & [evilcakeshop](http://www.evilcakeshop.com) London-based photographer Nathan Pask has pushed [subversive cake photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious) to the extreme. His series of images with the artists and creatives taking part in the [Halloween event](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-baguette-halloween-menu) ‘Eat Your Heart Out & The PRETOX Potion’ are certainly not like any cake imagery I have seen before. Zombie sailors (artist Pete Fowler) with nooses around their necks eating cake eyeballs and anatomical heart cupcakes, evil butchers (artist George Morton-Clark) posing with [bloody heart cakes laced with maggots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuicethemed-afterlife-cake) and creatives (Cowbag) with giant vagina cakes between their legs were just some of the shots taken by Pask on the shoot two weeks ago. There is even a behind the scenes video! The shoot took place in the painfully trendy Turman Brewery and these shots are only a hint of the madness to come when the SIlent Hill-themed cake shop opens on the 29th October, in London’s Shoreditch, for three weeks only. Credits of the shoot include: Photographer – Nathan Pask Photographers assistant – Simon Pollock Photographers assistant – Andras Bartok Stylist – Siouxsie Stylists assistant – Ksenia Lesnykh Clothing – Prangsta Costumiers Hair – Kim Roy ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Subversive Photography:** Photographers can experiment with subversive styles to shake up traditional genres. - **Dark Multisensory Events:** Event planners can create immersive experiences that tap into humanity's morbid fascinations. - **Culinary Shock Value:** Food industry professionals can use subversive creations as a way to break the mold and create buzz around new products or restaurants. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Photography industry professionals can capitalize on the trend of subversive photography. - **Event Planning:** Event planning professionals can create immersive experiences for their clients through dark and edgy themes. - **Food and Beverage:** Culinary professionals can merge food and art by creating subversive and unexpected food creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cardboard-Resembling Illusion Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-cake.md) - [Artisan-Quality Halloween Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tous-les-jours-spooky-delights.md) - [Ghoulish Halloween Cake Toppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-cloud-cake.md) - [Expansive Spooky Dessert Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolas-bakery.md) - [Cake-Centric Gatherings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-picnic.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Macabre Chocolate Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-shops.md) - [Celebratory Halloween Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premier-foods-cakes.md) - [Cake-Themed Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-thailands-birthday-ad.md)
