An outdoor art installation resembling a giant, decorated cake is depicted in a rotated, daytime image, likely set in Mumbai, India. The sculpture is covered in white frosting with numerous dark brown flakes, mimicking chocolate sprinkles or shavings. A prominent, glossy red spherical object, resembling a cherry, sits atop a swirl of yellow-white frosting on the left side of the "cake." Two black rectangular plaques with white text are embedded into the side of the cake. The left plaque, partially visible behind a black banner, displays "वाढदिवसाच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा" (Happy Birthday wishes in Marathi) and English text: "Celebrates 25 glorious years of street art. The ambassador car this year becomes a cake to say "Happy Birthday" to Kala Ghoda Art Festival, that has now gone ahead to become the biggest democratic art platform in Asia." The right plaque states: "This art installation also makes a satirical statement about the political banners, that are a rampant feature on the streets throughout the state. The artwork humorously mimics these garish banners, which are often an eyesore on the cityscape." A vertical black banner with artistic lettering and partially visible Marathi text ("क गभर") is situated to the left of the cake sculpture. The background shows lush green trees and hints of a building, suggesting an urban or park setting under a clear sky. The artwork serves as both a celebration and a commentary on local visual culture.
