This food experience was a collaboration between food blogger Erin Clarkson and food designer Miguel Olivares, which was an invitation to the public to participate in the consumption of a cake table. The Cake Table is a designed food experience, allowing for playful interactions and shared memories.
Miguel Olivares focused on the experience design of the Cake Table, through storyboarding, sketching, and product development.

The fillings were a mixture of dry and wet ingredients, thoughtfully placed around the cake to encourage further exploration of the Cake Table. The fillings were: lemon curd, strawberry jam, meringue, and crushed salted mixed nuts. The cake trimmings named “Dusties” were given as a take away to reduce food waste and as flavorful topping to shakes, ice cream, etc.
