The CAKES serve frothed up castles of delusion, hyperbolic princess-lands that ooze the saccharine, nuclear-pink glow of the girl toy aisles in FAO Schwarz.

Hypnotic sizzle. Glamour Trance freezes time, stunts emotional development, yet supremely entertains.

The CAKES embody both entrancing appearances, and the intoxication they kindle.

Spruced up, poised to please. Like itsy-bitsy, supra-beribboned pets on Madison Avenue, the footstools are prim, preened, and poofed coquettes or wannabe princesses.

The attempt to reduce whole countries to over-embellished tchotchkes reflects an American eye-candy, shopping-hypnotic mentality.

Fashioned with hair clips and beads from Beijing, Patisserie Chinoise (Chinese bakery) is 'Disneyland' Asia with little veracity.

China is used as a springboard for critiques of Western hubris regarding 'the other'.
