Sorry, I just couldn't figure out the relationship to the topic. But I added a couple of points because the colors are interesting, and the composition with the extra dimension is good.
nice macro work. Looks like you had some problems with lighting though, the flare upper mid right is distracting and there feels like there should be more light on the horizontal red things.
Hmmm... you could have used a longer exposure instead of the flash. It would have given the picture a less harsh effect (hope i'm making sense here)... don't you think the flash is a bit distracting? Oh well, good attempt and a yummy concept! Good luck!
I'm afraid I don't see the off-screen part of this shot. I assume the expectation is to eat the cake. Not a real interesting shot, especially with the bright reflection off the out-of-focus red spot.
