A Cheesecake Still Life

We’re located in the heart of Chelsea’s Gallery District -so when you’re surrounded by exhibitions, installations, and objects meant to be admired before they’re understood, it only feels natural to treat dessert the same way.

This piece reimagines cheesecake as a wall installation that’s gravity-defying, sculptural, and hung like a work of art in a gallery. Guests encounter it first as an object: they pause, take it in, admire the composition. Only then do they realize it’s dessert. An experience meant to be enjoyed with the eyes before the first bite.

At its core, it’s a classic New York–style cheesecake, finished with layers of texture, color, and flavor:

• Black sesame paste 

• Pistachio butter

• Crisp meringue

• Peach, passionfruit, and strawberry gels 

It’s dessert as installation, where presentation becomes part of the pleasure, and the line between food, art, and design disappears.
