Kammerer brings the meaning of cake cutting into question by blurring the distinction between the bride and the cake. "I don't have any criticism toward weddings or women.

Kammerer painted four oil paintings, all on canvas. each of different wedding cakes. Each painting represents a part or aspect of the ceremony. For example, the painting entitled "Bridal Cake" has an obvious body reference to a woman with distinctive imprints made by using a doily. Another painting, titled "Baptismal Cake," illustrates the baptism of the ceremony. Another piece, called "Bustle" occurred to Kammerer during a scroll workshop. It is made of paper and tulle and is quite large, which is meant as a parody.
