#15 Bedtime Bear
If there’s one way to get your children to love omelette and rice, it’s to turn the meal into a sleeping teddy bear, complete with an omelette blanket of course! The only possible problem though? This guy looks way too cute to eat! Be prepared for some tears and tantrums at the table as soon as someone decides to put a fork through Teddy’s head.
#14 Eat The Beatles
This food artist has certainly put the ‘eat’ in ‘beatles’. Looking at this delicious food platter, it’s hard not to want to eat it, especially when the road is made of baked beans, and jackets are made from food such as sausages, mushrooms and bacon! We love the amount of effort this artist has gone to, and this is definitely one of our favorite works of food art!
#13 Vegetable Face
Creepily realistic? Yes. Extremely talented? You bet! This fantastic piece of food art was made by Alex J. Jefferies. We cannot get over just how much this vegetable face seems to come to life on the plate. Everything from the eyes, to the nose and teeth are so realistic that it causes you to look twice…or perhaps three times.
#12 Foodie Owl
The cantaloupe face of this food art looks so incredibly similar to a barn owl’s face! This foodie owl would make a great centerpiece at any event – it’s way too good to eat! Who would have thought that playing with your food could be so much fun?
#11 Eggregation
There’s nothing like adding a bit of yin and yang to your typical breakfast to get your balance right for the day. A high level of concentration and steady hands would have been needed to achieve this level of precision. It is incredibly easy to split a yolk, after all!
#10 Funny Curry
Everyone loves a good curry, but imagine eating one that contained a laughing figure made from rice! They almost look too cheerful to eat. We love this food art idea, and the sooner fast food shops begin turning their meals into edible works of art, the better! There’s only one thing that could wipe the smiles from those rice figures faces though, and that’s if they were eaten…
#9 Lunchbox Pikachu
We’ve always wanted our very own Pikachu, but we never thought we would actually be able to eat one! The thought may seem wrong, but looking at this edible work of art, it’s hard not to salivate! A Pikachu made entirely from rice? Delicious! We can also spot some pasta and vegetables there too. Now this is definitely a lunch-box surprise!
#8 All You Need Is Love
Can creating art from your meals become a career? Apparently so, according to Malaysian artist Hong Yi! For an entire month, the artist made it her mission to create an artwork from her food, and the results were amazing! This one is titled “All You Need is Love”.
#7 Hong’s Holland
Remember how we mentioned Malaysian artist Hong Yi before? Well here’s another example of some of her most amazing food art. The artist decribes herself as ” an artist-architect who likes to paint, but not with a paintbrush.” Can you imagine being served up this Holland inspired meal though? We think it’s definitely too pretty to eat.
#6 Melon Shark
If there’s one way to make a shark less scary, it’s to turn it into a melon – or in this case, turn a melon into a shark. Give it some gummy fish to eat and all is well! We can imagine that this would be a great idea for a children’s birthday party, as it is both fruity and fun. Making art from fruit is a great way to encourage children to eat more of it!
#5 Fruit Warrior
You’ve heard of Fruit Ninja, now meet the Fruit Warrior. We tip our hats to this artist, because not only is it hard enough making art from fruit and vegetables, but it’s also extremely challenging to create a realistic face from food! Imagine this as a fruit platter at your next event…Now that is talent!
#4 Snack On The Simpsons
Here’s a school lunch that would make any child proud – it’s The Simpsons on bread! We certainly never got any lunches as cool as this one, but we believe that this is a work of food art best admired, not eaten! We especially love the multiple colors and layers involved. Matt Groening, eat your heart out…
#3 Sushi Windows
It’s a laptop with a Windows XP operating system, but made from sushi! If you get hungry waiting for the laptop to load, then you can always just eat it…The mouse is made from an egg, which makes it even cooler! This would be the perfect lunch for just about any tech-head.
#2 Mushroom Geese
We never realized just how much the texture of mushrooms represent the texture of feathers! This food artwork is amazing, and we especially love the use of colored rice to create a sky, and a boiled egg yolk to create the most perfect sun. You can tell a lot of effort went into this piece, and we think it definitely has paid off!
