Voted earlier coming back to comment.

The cake does look tasty:-) I like how you placed the fork on the diagonal to act as a path that the eye travels along to arrive at the cake. The tradeoff is that we only see 1/2 of this sweet treat leaving us craving more (both a plus and minus). In a way, the main subject of the shot is the fork with the cake becoming the supporting cast. I am craving to see more of that cake the more I look at this shot. The plain white backdrop allows the cake to stand out visually but the minus is that if gives off a feeling/mood of being stark and cold. On the PC it looks fine but on the laptop where the screen is brighter the defining edges of the square cake slice where the vanilla portion and especially the white cream filling gets lost and 'blends' into the white BG. It is a good shot but I feel a background with a warm color tones would complement the cake and create a mood that is both warm and inviting thereby further increasing the visual appeal of the photo. Another suggestion is if you want to keep the white backdrop then a way to make sure those edges of the cake don't get lost is to 'gently' take some of the chocolate frosting and lightly brush it onto the edge of the cake (the suggestion is to do it in real life before snapping the shot - not something in photoshop:-) ) But don't overdo it - it should look as natural as the slight brown (graham cracker crust?) of the edge that is just below the the chocolate filling on the bottom layer.

This has to be vawendy.
Putting this higher than the rest of the dessert entries simply because someone decided centering the dessert wasn't necessary.
