Portuguese designer Rosa Lemos has produced a range of cake dishes for Italian ceramics manufacturer Bosa Ceramiche.

The dishes feature a decorated ceramic wedge, which takes the place of the 'last slice' of cake.

The following is from Rosa Lemos:

To whom the last slice?
Usually the cakes are eaten slice after slice and reaching the last one, this one stays there, lost among smiles of courtesy, crumbling himself. With Akitoka, the last slice doesn't go to anybody - it remains in the dish.
Akitoka is a dish for cakes that it plays with the fatality of the last slice. It's a Rosa Lemos project for Bosa Ceramiche and it has shown up with success at Paris to Maison and Object 08 and to the FuoriSalone 08.
The dishes are available in the formats round and rectangular, with or without decoration. The decorated dishes are accompanied of stencil with the same sketch to decorate the cake with the sugar to veil.

There will always be a last piece, even with this design, this existential problem remains unsolved !
Man this looks so delicious that I might break the damn plate while trying to extract the last piece!!
brava rosa I just love it!
Muitos parabéns!
Está fantástico.
Do teu irmão,

There will be a first piece. And it’s mine!
It’s the good thing of this plate.
Thank you to all.
What a lovely idea! So sweet!
It isn’t very practical though, is it? You ought to eat a slice first before official digging in. It also looks a little kitchy in my eyes.
Glad to see portuguese design published here. Parabéns, Rosa.
Gosto muito do primeiro.
Posso comprar o bolo também?
Beijocas e muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuito sucesso!!
looking for missing peice
shel silver stain :-D
very very nice!
usually i don’t let the last piece, so can i call it “tokami”? :)
parabéns!
parabéns do brasil, oh rosa…
Yummy! Parabéns!
They look lovely but as Rik says, it’s a bit impractical.. I can’t imagine when I would use one – I generally only serve cakes to people at birthdays and you can’t cut the birthday cake before you present it, can you?!
Ideia divertida de encarar o tal constrangimento de atacar a ultima fatia! É pena é que comigo isso não faça sentido…se lá está só uma fatia como na mesma!!! :))
Parabéns Rosa, é bom ver o teu trabalhao ser publicado a este nivel!
lovely idea
very cute idea
a bit too anecdotic, even though the idea of working with the fatal ‘last piece’ is very good for a cake plate…
the remaining last slice is for the chef
ceramic cake is nice concept for a diabetic invited friends to dine with humor
para quando a versão penico? =D
Sense of humour is important – most designers and architects don’t have it. Nice!
