The Zoetrope begat the Caketrope and Gâteau Gato is Born


The zoetrope continues to evolve in to the twenty first century – and this particular twist on the art form is known as the caketrope.   This example by Alexandre Dubosc is the domestic "cake" of the felidae family (in other words it's a caketrope of cats!). Otherwise known as Gâteau Gato it is a majestic example of what you can do with flour, eggs and the imagination. And if you are raising your eyebrows thinking that this is CGI then take a look at Dubosc’s Flickr sets where previous projects are shown in the making.
