I think there needs to be more of an angle to the fact that its a swiss cheese cake other than the fact it has a swiss flag in it! I there something that is particularly swiss that you can incoporate into the cake itself... even the flag perhaps?
Ahhhh i didn't even realise that it was meant to be a block of cheese... oops! Yeah definatly need to work on making it more obvious lots more shading etc! I'm sure if you get the cheese more obvious you won't need the flag to explain the joke. I'm likeing the concept more and more now i realise what it is!
you need to vary the hole depth so that not all of them go through the cheese. And when a hole does go through its depth should vary the further back the cheese it goes as the thickness of the cake increases. I think the icing needs a little shading to make it stand out more 3d and I would personally be tenpted to experiment with stronger colours!?
i like standz ideas. try them. I personally think its funnier with the flag, but not as cryptic of course... depends on what you want the final design to be.
I also think you should try the swiss army knife design, perhaps have it lying in front with some crumbs. (you can't use the victorinox label for copyright reasons though).
It's more cake like now
But it's still missing something
Gonna fiddle with gradients and patterns later
I needs to sit on something or have a glowing rays
Anyway, let me know your ideas
~Thanks
