First of all, a big hello to everyone from /r/k_on! Thank you for taking an interest in this project.

Today I was planning to start modelling the cassette player, but although there are some great reference images from the show, I’d like to get some real-world images as well.

Instead, I decided to finally model the centrepiece of the K-ON! clubroom: the cake.

It’s a delicious strawberry shortcake, possibly the most memorable type of cake in the show.

I wouldn’t consider this finished yet: I plan to add cherries and extra decorations to make it even better (not to mention some plates and forks to eat with). Let’s hope Yui can survive until then.

The cake uses simulated subsurface scattering to appear even more realistic (and mouth-watering). Working on this model seriously made me hungry.

Until next time, I’ll be paying a visit to the cake constellation (is there such a thing?).
