SFMOMA Cakes for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) commissioned a pair of paper cakes inspired by the museum’s architecture. These still images and stop motion animations lit up museum-wide screens, marketing emails, and social media to promote gift memberships for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. As collectors and champions of Wayne Thiebaud’s paintings, the SFMOMA was the perfect institution to commission these whimsical pieces. Photographed by the fantastic Andria Lo.
