EATING YOUR HEARTBREAK?
treat yourself to a genius break-up cake
A break-up is downright awful. I -an expert in long relationships- can tell you that. But now I just stumbled upon a brilliant project by graphic designer Isabelle Giancarlo, who decided to give the bitter words of her ex a sweet aftertaste. In the form of cake, because who doesn't love cake? Why wasn't this thought of earlier?
When Isabelle's relationship ended, she lost countless kilos because she couldn't eat a bite for weeks. “I thought: how can I make the words that took away my appetite sweeter?” She started a photo project under the brilliant name Eat Your Heart Out. Initially featuring only words from her ex, but soon her cakes went viral and friends and strangers sent her painful texts in.
According to Isabelle, you don't need to know the whole story of someone to understand the cakes. “Heartbreak is quite universal and no distinction is made in age, race, gender, or sexual orientation.” True that. So dear, just so you know. If it ever ends: I'll be comfortably parked on the couch, while I eat three cakes with all your shitty quotes. So there.
