Shoulder-level view at a natural standing height, a little to one side, of a partially eaten layer cake sitting on a trestle table at a church hall jumble sale. The cake rests in a yellowed cardboard box with a handwritten price tag reading '25p' pinned to the side, next to a dented metal tea urn. Crumbs are scattered across the patterned tablecloth, and a ring stain from a tea cup sits near the base of the box. A plastic knife is stuck in the remaining slice of the cake. The main figure is off-centre on a third, with the rest of the frame showing the surrounding jumble sale items. The scene is lit by blue hour light outside the window mixed with warm lamp light inside, creating two colour temperatures that meet on the table surface. Shot on a disposable film camera at arm's length, with slightly soft corners and a grainy, snapshot aesthetic.
