reviews How to decorate a cake The stop motion film is a black comedy set in a meticulously hand crafted industrial bakery where extraordinary feats in cake decoration and baking are achieved. The film explores co-dependency, fetish and desire. How to Decorate a Cake follows the life and times of Raymond a monstrous passive male whose life is dominated by mother Beryl, wife Rayleen and feeding. Using the model of reality television programs on the obese, How to Decorate a Cake oscillates between blaming the women in Raymond's life as enablers of his appalling physical condition and highlighting the missed opportunities of Raymond to save himself. In the film weight is used as a metaphor for psychological dysfunction. Raymond's diet consists entirely of breast milk provided by his mother Beryl. As the film progresses Beryl's breasts undergo a dramatic transformation. As Raymond's body swells, Beryl's breasts deflate. The inappropriate intimacy between a mother and her son positions Beryl as a nurturer and as an agent of harm. This absurd scenario of weight transference and the sharing of body fluids is used as a strategy to discuss the power of food as a substitute for emotional and physical intimacy
