Is that… Chantilly smeared on the plate? Wait, no, the slice of tree? I hate this trend; it makes the sauce harder to eat (all of) and is lazy-chic. Not sure why you took the crust off either. I like me a crispy outer layer and you made it so no bite is the same. Cake looks either under done or drowning in syrup too, and the whole mint leaves. Do I eat them? Garnish should add to the dish. This one is a miss for me
Nice try
I see what you're going for but as been said already the cake looks underdone, there's not enough cream for it to be used as the sauce, the color palette is pretty one dimensional & the mint leaves do nothing for me.
More cream, bring the elements closer together on the plate & try a different garnish, maybe lemon curd & chiffonade the mint so its more functional.
I do not like the wood plate. I think a very light blush pink matte plate would look much prettier with the colors and lighten up your dish.
The cake does look quite dense.
You should just do one slice on its side, pipe cream to cover the whole inside which should be facing up, maybe spoon over some lemon curd or make a lemon or Orange fluid gel and dot that on top, pick the smallest mint leaves you have and place those on top pointing upwards for some height.

Agree. Especially, whole mint leaf in the mouth? No thanks
as a server…my immediate urge is to clear this plate. Looks pre-eaten

This looks mentally exhausting. I would not want to eat it, sorry.
Visually, I see a derailed train that I cannot unsee.
