The painting of three cakes on separate stands that was reproduced in miniature on the white painted exterior surface was clearly by Wayne Thiebaud, but because Thiebaud had made many paintings and drawings of cakes, it would be difficult to find out what museum or which collector owned this work.
"Thiebaud's 3-cakes with shadows painting has no obvious significance other than a probably unintended reminder of a frequently visited five-star bakery not far from where I live," she wrote in her notebook.
