that's great.
it reminds me of a stack of decorated tablas. which is also excellent.

as for whether it's art: i dont see why there's even a question.
in general, art is whatever you say it is.
so even if this wasnt a spectacularly lovely object, it'd still be art.
but it is a spectacularly lovely object and so requires no particular effort to be seen that way.

this is art.
it is made of cake.

or:

it is sculpture and the medium is pastry.

seriously, its all a matter of claims about what you do and where you choose to show it. doing a gallery show would be interesting, especially if you have a closing that featured all those in attendance getting to eat the show.
