Hi! I can't help but to adore these cakes. I love sweets and pixels always suit them. This piece would fit right into a dessert-making game or a decoration detail in a fairy house.
The level of detail you were able to create in an artwork this tiny is admirable. Even the tiniest fruits are easy to distinguish, and the shading, though subtle, gives everything the needed depth. The only place where I'd add more shadows are the cookies -- they kind of seep into one another.
What I'm not sure about is the cakes' placement. The swiss roll only barely overlays the plate above it, and I find it a little distracting. Either you could make all the plates overlap just a little, or make it so that none of them overlap. Moving the middle row a little down would do the trick. The roll itself is a great choice for a centerpiece due to its colors and contrast. One more thing to point out, though it's just a nitpick -- due to the way it's shaded, it looks to me as if cream was coming out at the roll's ends in a funny way. Maybe it could help to leave the cream unshaded and only shade it along with the roll.
Overall, those tiny details don't lessen my enjoyment of the piece. To me, the roll, the pie and the strawberry cake with a little jam swirl on the plate look the most delicious. But I guess I'd love to taste them all.
I hope I helped a bit despite the artwork not being among your newest ones. Keep up the great job, and merry and sweet CRITmas!

Yum, those are gorgeous. I love the way you've done your shading in the pixel art, it blends so well. And the designs are beautiful.
I think strawberry cake #1 and the Swiss roll are my favourites. Though you've done a really good job on the texture of Strawberry Cake #2 as well. Lovely work.
