The image is greatly inspired by characters from the story Alice in Wonderland. The rather cold and stiff mother embodies characteristics of the queen of hearts and the twins resemble tweetle dee and tweetle dum. They are posed in traditional family portrait style with the absence of the father. The painting over the fire place shows a male figure with his head purposefully cropped from the image. The blood dripping from the corner of the mother's mouth and the gory eyeballs and guts found in the cakes hint at the possible whereabouts of the missing father figure. This image was taken on location at the famous Crown and Crumpet Tea Room in Ghiradelli Square, San Francisco
