A very odd angle on a strawberry-kiwi fruit tart?

[42itous.livejournal.com]

Kind of close.

mizarchivist got it: it's cake. They use a lot of fresh fruit as decoration on the cakes from Chinatown.

Beyond strawberries and kiwi?

[42itous.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It doesn't make a very good puzzle, because the strawberries and kiwi aren't hard to recognize but I'm also wondering whether anyone else will get the context.

The sheen of the gold foil cardboard... the frosting has that unmistakable frosting look to it. Is it from Quebrada?

It's from someplace in Chinatown. It was at a birthday party we went to recently, and I recognized immediately that it was from Chinatown because when I worked near there my coworkers got me a cake like this for my birthday.

I was trying to make it into an artsy menorah design, with the white tip of the one strawberry standing in for a lit candle. It didn't really work but I thought you'd appreciate the idea.

Nice idea -- and you're not the only one who thought of that!

A fruit chanukia?

[42itous.livejournal.com]

Nope, but that's a great idea!

pavlova?

Close, but it's more along the lines of this: , with white cake inside.
