Based off the fact that I was able to find an original photograph for granada's cheesecake piece (post #546930), this was most likely rendered backwards.
Keep in mind granada uses photographs... this was NOT done just with their imagination.
First draw the rough shape. You don't have to color it too carefully.Here I laid down the color in a bit more detail, as you can see.I've shaded off the color I laid down before. At this stage, it already looks quite nice!Starting the detailing. Just roughly shade the shine on the cream and it'll look realistic. Throw in a bunch of sugar.It looks depressing.
I put a color like it in the background.
Add in a lot for the sponge portion.Furthermore, I put more into the drawing and am finished. Or, rather, give up.
I put more detail into the sponge part.
And a toilet seat cover!
