]]> Shayna Leib cooks some of the mouthwatering desserts you’ll see on the internet. However, they do have one crucial flaw; they are made out of glass.

Leib has gained significant attention on social media in recent years thanks to her Pâtisserie series, in which she re-creates some of the most delicious desserts as glass sculptures. Her works are so exceptional that the only way you can be sure they are made out of glass is to believe the artist or touch them.

Lieb’s Pâtisserie series includes two collections of desserts: French and American. In the French collection, she recreated desserts like Creme de Cacao, Entremet la citron vert, and Chocolat noix de coco.

The American collection consists of frozen yogurt, popsicles, pecan pie, caramel apples, and more.

According to Lieb, she began making glass desserts due to her dietary restrictions that prevent her from indulging in most of them.

 “This body of work started as a therapeutic exercise in deconstruction and a re-training of the mind to look at dessert as form rather than food,” she explains on her website. “It soon became a technical riddle, and I became a food taxidermist of French pastries.”

]]> Latte art has been on the rise for quite some time, and every time we think we’ve seen it all, another amazing artist emerges. Runa Pocket is one of the latte artists worth keeping an eye on, and her creations are mostly inspired by our favorite animated characters.

Runa Kato, the mastermind behind Runa Pocket, specializes in “touchable” 3D latte art and she’s been doing this since 2018. She’s on a quest to overturn the way people look at latte art, and she describes herself as “a latte artist who creates a lot of happiness with a cup of latte” on her official website.

Runa is definitely succeeding in her mission to change the way people look at latte art since she’s one of the most successful latte artists in her home country of Japan. She appeared on several TV shows, collaborated with high-profile clients, and attracted over 90,000 followers to her Instagram page since embarking on this journey.

Runa’s latte creations usually take shape of beloved animated characters, that move in a cup when touched. Pokémon is her biggest source of inspiration, with her latte art taking shape of Pikachu, Snorlax, and Squirtle, but she’s no stranger to making lattes inspired by other movies, such as Minions and Disney classics.

Reddit users have been mesmerized by a video of steaming buns fluff up, which was posted on the subreddit r/oddlysatisfying. The 1:24-minute-long clip shows highly realistic steamed bun creations of animals, fruit, and veggies, expanding under heat. This includes crab, durian fruit, fish, cookies, flowers, and even an entire burger.

A lot of Redditors were quite amazed by the video.

“Took me way too long to reread the title and realize these were all buns,” u/eckliptic wrote.

“This absolutely knocked “eat more bread” right off my list of potential resolutions,” u/Emulocks added.

As it turns out, these steam buns are the works of a woman from China named Mima. She started making them during her COVID-19 pandemic and became an expert.

She explains that the process includes mixing dough with fruit and vegetable juice as well as powder made from fruit and veggies. Additionally, Mima also edible pigments or squid ink powder to put the finishing touches on steamed buns.

]]> For us foodies, pasta dishes are works of art, and chefs are artists. Just looking at spaghetti and meatballs or pasta Carbonara feels like observing art; only more satisfying because you get to eat it. However, if you want to truly experience pasta art, then you need to check out the works of David Rivillo.

Rivillo is a professional chef who turns pasta into art but doesn’t like to call himself an artist. Instead, he refers to himself as a pasta designer. And the designers he creates are simply too beautiful to eat.

Rivillo’s creations are unlike any other pasta you’ve seen. They feature combinations of vibrant colors, complex patterns, and satisfying shapes that seem like they just popped from an abstract painting.

According to one of his recent interviews, Rivillo started working with fresh pasta in 2016 during his culinary studies. He fell in love with the process and decided to buy his first pasta machine shortly after.

“I never bought pasta again in the supermarket,” he explained.

After some experimentation, Rivillo realized he has many ideas for pasta designs and started to share them on social media. His pasta art became quite popular on Instagram, where he shares his latest creations and offers custom made pasta art. Check out more of his works below.

The illustrator and 3D sculptor describes his love for art as a “window of expression” of himself and the everyday things he is surrounded by. He currently has more than 550,000 followers on his Instagram page, and people are loving his creativity.

“Growing up in a humble environment where I didn’t have much, art has always been it, I’m lucky in that way that it was never a doubt what I wanted to do with my life,” the artist shared on Bored Panda and added that Freshest Foods was a way to challenge himself and to show he can also do stuff not focused on pop culture. “It started as one or two drawings and brainstorming with simple objects to create something out of something simple like a carrot.”

]]> Takehiro Kishimoto is a Japanese food artist based in Cobe, who works as a chef by day, but turns into a food carving master at night. His impressive food art gained a huge following on Instagram where nearly 300 thousand people admire Kishimoto’s edible artwork.

Kishimoto has been practicing mukimono, the traditional Japanese art of carving decorative shapes images into fruit and vegetables, for years, but he became even more passionate about carving once he discovered the Thai technique of fruit and veggie carving.

“I create beautiful decorative vegetables at work and I studied Thai carving myself. I’m attracted to the beautiful colors of nature,” Takehiro told CNN Travel. He then explained the difference between the Japanese and Thai carving techniques.

“Mukimono is done by using a kitchen knife while Thai carving is created using a sharp thin knife. I exclusively use a Thai carving knife.”

Takehiro introduced his art to the world in 2016, when he opened his Instagram account named Gaku Carving. There you can take a look at all of his stunning creations carved in apples, cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots.

“Even with the same ingredient, each fruit or vegetable has a different shape and softness. It took me five years to overcome and understand the art,” the artist says.

Check out this amazing food art in the photos below.

]]> Based only on photos of his works, you could easily assume that Mari Hamahira is one very talented sushi chef. However, while he does make sushi, he’s no chef. At least, that’s not his primary profession.

Hamahira is a Japanese artist who creates amazingly realistic sushi sculptures using polished stones. To make it all even more impressive, the bright colors of seafood in his gunkan maki or tuna in nigiri sushi pieces are all natural. So the color you see is the color of the stone used and not a result of a paint job.

Hamahira, who is a graduate student at one of Japan’s art schools, revealed that he came up with the idea while going through a lockdown. The remote learning allowed him to invest more time into the project, and he ended up making it the centerpiece of his graduating thesis.

The sushi sculptures were mainly inspired by Hamahira’s working experience in the seafood industry and the food waste that surrounds it. He is hoping to raise awareness about the issue with this project, which is the main reason for including the more provocative sushi pieces with human body parts resting on rice instead of fish.

According to Hamahira, this part of the collection should remind us that some of the food we consume was once a living and breathing thing.

]]> It can be difficult to make a name for yourself in the sea of talented cake makers sharing their incredible works of art on Instagram, but Zoe behind Zoe’s Fancy Cakes doesn’t seem to be struggling one bit. Her creations are adorable and incredibly realistic, and it’s not difficult to see why people love them so much.

Zoe makes everything from birthday to wedding cakes, but her fondant figures and models put her on the map. They usually pay homage to some of our favorite animated characters, and looking at her cakes will make you feel like they’re 100% real.

What we love the most about Zoe is that she enjoys sharing her secrets with the world. Her YouTube channel is an even bigger hit than her Instagram page because she enjoys sharing tutorials that encourage people to make incredible fondant cakes on their own.

Each of her social media posts makes it clear she puts a lot of love and patience into her creations, and her creative vision is truly unique. Take a look at some more of her incredible cakes, and check out her tutorials if you’re thinking of making your own.

Some of my favourites from 2019. The black cockatoo I made just to try practice making birds. The bride and groom I made teaching a student in a one to one. The witch I made also as a demonstration piece in a one to one. The cute Dracula I made in one of my basic figure classes. The lady in the Center I made in the Whitney class, but I tried to make her look a bit like star fire from DC Titans The Christmassy girls I made in a class just before Christmas. Bottom left is from my surfer girl class (which I’m next teaching at @cakeinnovations) Bottom central is from my Brazilian bombshell class (which I’m next teaching at @lumascake in paris) And the last one on the bottom right is a large cake I made that I now run as a cake carving class. #zoesfancycakes #cakeclassesuk #cakeclass #cakedecorating #instagram #youtuber #caketoppers #cockatoo #cakesofinstagram #beachgirl #surfer #cute #starfire #bridesndgroomtopper #figures #saracino #renshawsmodellingchocolate

As expected, different cultures have different ways of using eggs for food. Some scramble or boil them for breakfast, others add them to soups, while there are countries that even made eggs part of their desert routine.

YouTube channel Food Insider recently decided to look into egg-based meals in various countries in the world and compiled their findings in an amazing video.

Their showcase includes Turkey’s combination of eggs, vegetables, spices, and cheese called Menemen, deep-fried Quail eggs from the Philippines, and Pastel de nata, which is a delicious egg yolk-based dessert originating from Portugal.

You voted, so here’s my version of Totoro. This is my 2nd time making #totoro, and I think I prefer this easier version better than the one I did last year. I made at least 8 ⚫ macs, but they were extremely lopsided. I don’t know if it was my piping or the batter 🤷🏻‍♀️. All I could salvage are the two in the photo 😅. That’s why ⭕ macs are my least fav to make, cuz I can’t get them right more than half the time. #トトロ #myneighbortotoro #macarons #spiritedaway #macaroons #studioghibli #kawaiifood #cookiesofinstagram #frenchmacaron #cookiegram #马卡龙 #cutefood #eattheworld #decoratedcookies #thebakefeed #cookieartist #huffposttaste #デザート #wiltoncakes #マカロン #甜点 #디저트 #쿠키 #クッキー

“Making macarons is only a hobby, so I have no baking experience prior. I just started making macarons a year ago. The interesting part is how to pipe them neatly. My favorite part is decorating them since I get to add all of the adorable little details. Favorite character to make has to be Molang and Pusheen since I do make them a lot,” the baker said, adding that she loves to create and post her creations on Instagram, in order to make people smile.

Anyone who’s tried making macarons knows how tricky it to make these cookies, especially if you want them to look this good.

Take a look at Moon’s fabulous macarons in the photos below.

🐼+🍍+🍎 = Pandapple or Pinedapple? Have you ever experienced “no good deed goes unpunished”? I have quite often, especially when it comes to my job 🤷🏻‍♀️. This week I got punished severely for helping someone. Instead of earning x amount of money, I ended up losing that x amount of money. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, I lost some more money out of my own pocket 🤦🏻‍♀️. It’s tough being nice sometimes 🤣………wwwhhyyy? Decoration on top are royal icing, edible marker and petal color. My royal icing skills needs lots of work 😆. They’re filled with 🍍 swiss meringue buttercream. I just mixed the🍍 jam directly into the buttercream. #pandas #macaron #macaroons #apples #kawaiifood #cuteanimal #macaronstagram #frenchmacaron #디저트 #pandalove #マカロン #cutefood #pineapples #cookiedecorator #macaronslover #쿠키 #パンダ #kawaiicute #cookiegram #甜點 #макаронc #馬卡龍 #cakelover #kawaiioftheday #bakestagram

2nd installment of #sixmonthsofcakes with a group of talented bakers hosted by lovely @chahrazadscuisine @sweets_by_joana @sashacakeschicago. The theme is “Not So Red Valentine”. Be sure to check out the hashtag #sixmonthofcakes. Can Valentine’s Day be a celebration of 💗 and support of all kinds? Like these monster bff’s will always have each other’s backs. It is rare that I fill my macarons, but I’m actually giving these to a friend. The filling is strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream to match the @pockyusa stick flavor. I did eat one for quality assurance 🤣. I usually don’t eat my decorated macarons, but I was curious what it tasted like with a Pocky stick. The verdict….”it’s delicious!”

Lunar New Year is next Saturday on the 25th. It will be the Year of the 🐀 based on Chinese Zodiac. Anyone here celebrate Lunar New Year? I’d love to hear your story. I live in Southern California so there is a large Asian population. It’s very festive around this time of year in certain areas of Orange County & Los Angeles. An influx of visitors from out of state or other countries, decorations at some local malls, foods/plants related to LNY are on display in many of the Asian grocery stores. There are numerous festivals filled with food and entertainment for the occasion. 🐉 dance and 🧨 are staples and you can see them at all the festivals and some of the local businesses hire them for good luck. Sounds like fun right? Well, I’m always home so any holidays are just like another day for me 🤣. I know, I’m spoiled living here. Excuse my bad royal icing work on these macs 🤣. I need a lot more practice! Sprinkles are from @simplysucre part of the “Bite Me” mixed. It’s my favorite for Valentine’s.

Today is my birthday so I’m an Aquarius ♒. @Molang.official is my most fav character to make, so of course I have to include Molang on my special day. Why are some Molang holding the 🌝? That’s because my last name is…you guessed it…🌝😁. They look more like 🧀 balls, but hey it’s the year of the 🐀 for 2020 – dual purpose haha. “Twinkle Twinkle” sprinkles mix by @simplysucre. Aren’t they pretty with the wafer🌙 ? And blue is Pantone’s color of the year. Decorations are done with @sweetsticksau edible paint, @satin.ice fondant, royal icing, @wiltoncakes edible marker and ⭐ sprinkles, @simicakes1 isomalt 💧 and chiffon cake for the 🧀🌝. Much thanks to @phay_shing for the delicious chiffon cake recipe. And I only use @americolor for my macarons.

Please pray for 🇦🇺! My 💔 for them dealing with all the bush🔥. I cried watching the local news when they showed a clip of an injured 🐨 hobbling thru the burnt forest. It’s heart wrenching to see the devastation and to know that more than 500 million animals have lost their lives. Many people have died and many more lost everything they owned. I can’t fathom the pain and loss they’re going through. Many organizations need our help and support during this crisis. Everything adds up so please help whatever you can. I donated to the NSW Wildlife Information Rescue Education Service (WIRES) last week.

Rivillo is a professional chef who turns pasta into art but doesn’t like to call himself an artist. Instead, he refers to himself as a pasta designer. And the designers he creates are simply too beautiful to eat.

Rivillo’s creations are unlike any other pasta you’ve seen. They feature combinations of vibrant colors, complex patterns, and satisfying shapes that seem like they just popped from an abstract painting.

According to one of his recent interviews, Rivillo started working with fresh pasta in 2016 during his culinary studies. He fell in love with the process and decided to buy his first pasta machine shortly after.

“I never bought pasta again in the supermarket,” he explained.

After some experimentation, Rivillo realized he has many ideas for pasta designs and started to share them on social media. His pasta art became quite popular on Instagram, where he shares his latest creations and offers custom made pasta art. Check out more of his works below.

]]> Alex Solis is a talented and passionate artist from Wisconsin who imagines fruits and vegetables acting like humans. The illustrator and 3D sculptor describes his love for art as a “window of expression” of himself and the everyday things he is surrounded by. He currently has more than 550,000 followers on his Instagram page, and people are loving his creativity.

“Growing up in a humble environment where I didn’t have much, art has always been it, I’m lucky in that way that it was never a doubt what I wanted to do with my life,” the artist shared on Bored Panda and added that Freshest Foods was a way to challenge himself and to show he can also do stuff not focused on pop culture. “It started as one or two drawings and brainstorming with simple objects to create something out of something simple like a carrot.”  

We really enjoyed browsing through his Instagram page and we believe that you will enjoy it, too. Follow him on his other social media accounts for future updates, or check out his website.

]]> Takehiro Kishimoto is a Japanese food artist based in Cobe, who works as a chef by day, but turns into a food carving master at night. His impressive food art gained a huge following on Instagram where nearly 300 thousand people admire Kishimoto’s edible artwork.

Kishimoto has been practicing mukimono, the traditional Japanese art of carving decorative shapes images into fruit and vegetables, for years, but he became even more passionate about carving once he discovered the Thai technique of fruit and veggie carving.

“I create beautiful decorative vegetables at work and I studied Thai carving myself. I’m attracted to the beautiful colors of nature,” Takehiro told CNN Travel. He then explained the difference between the Japanese and Thai carving techniques.

“Mukimono is done by using a kitchen knife while Thai carving is created using a sharp thin knife. I exclusively use a Thai carving knife.”

Takehiro introduced his art to the world in 2016, when he opened his Instagram account named Gaku Carving. There you can take a look at all of his stunning creations carved in apples, cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots.

“Even with the same ingredient, each fruit or vegetable has a different shape and softness. It took me five years to overcome and understand the art,” the artist says.

Check out this amazing food art in the photos below.

]]> Based only on photos of his works, you could easily assume that Mari Hamahira is one very talented sushi chef. However, while he does make sushi, he’s no chef. At least, that’s not his primary profession.

Hamahira is a Japanese artist who creates amazingly realistic sushi sculptures using polished stones. To make it all even more impressive, the bright colors of seafood in his gunkan maki or tuna in nigiri sushi pieces are all natural. So the color you see is the color of the stone used and not a result of a paint job.

Hamahira, who is a graduate student at one of Japan’s art schools, revealed that he came up with the idea while going through a lockdown. The remote learning allowed him to invest more time into the project, and he ended up making it the centerpiece of his graduating thesis.

The sushi sculptures were mainly inspired by Hamahira’s working experience in the seafood industry and the food waste that surrounds it. He is hoping to raise awareness about the issue with this project, which is the main reason for including the more provocative sushi pieces with human body parts resting on rice instead of fish.

According to Hamahira, this part of the collection should remind us that some of the food we consume was once a living and breathing thing.

]]> It can be difficult to make a name for yourself in the sea of talented cake makers sharing their incredible works of art on Instagram, but Zoe behind Zoe’s Fancy Cakes doesn’t seem to be struggling one bit. Her creations are adorable and incredibly realistic, and it’s not difficult to see why people love them so much.

Zoe makes everything from birthday to wedding cakes, but her fondant figures and models put her on the map. They usually pay homage to some of our favorite animated characters, and looking at her cakes will make you feel like they’re 100% real.

What we love the most about Zoe is that she enjoys sharing her secrets with the world. Her YouTube channel is an even bigger hit than her Instagram page because she enjoys sharing tutorials that encourage people to make incredible fondant cakes on their own.

Each of her social media posts makes it clear she puts a lot of love and patience into her creations, and her creative vision is truly unique. Take a look at some more of her incredible cakes, and check out her tutorials if you’re thinking of making your own.

Some of my favourites from 2019. The black cockatoo I made just to try practice making birds. The bride and groom I made teaching a student in a one to one. The witch I made also as a demonstration piece in a one to one. The cute Dracula I made in one of my basic figure classes. The lady in the Center I made in the Whitney class, but I tried to make her look a bit like star fire from DC Titans The Christmassy girls I made in a class just before Christmas. Bottom left is from my surfer girl class (which I’m next teaching at @cakeinnovations) Bottom central is from my Brazilian bombshell class (which I’m next teaching at @lumascake in paris) And the last one on the bottom right is a large cake I made that I now run as a cake carving class. #zoesfancycakes #cakeclassesuk #cakeclass #cakedecorating #instagram #youtuber #caketoppers #cockatoo #cakesofinstagram #beachgirl #surfer #cute #starfire #bridesndgroomtopper #figures #saracino #renshawsmodellingchocolate

]]> Eggs are among the most important groceries for many countries all over the world. They are great standalone food but are also widely used in cookery for making all sorts of tasty meals.

As expected, different cultures have different ways of using eggs for food. Some scramble or boil them for breakfast, others add them to soups, while there are countries that even made eggs part of their desert routine.

YouTube channel Food Insider recently decided to look into egg-based meals in various countries in the world and compiled their findings in an amazing video.

Their showcase includes Turkey’s combination of eggs, vegetables, spices, and cheese called Menemen, deep-fried Quail eggs from the Philippines, and Pastel de nata, which is a delicious egg yolk-based dessert originating from Portugal.

Check out how 18 different countries eat eggs below.

You voted, so here’s my version of Totoro. This is my 2nd time making #totoro, and I think I prefer this easier version better than the one I did last year. I made at least 8 ⚫ macs, but they were extremely lopsided. I don’t know if it was my piping or the batter 🤷🏻‍♀️. All I could salvage are the two in the photo 😅. That’s why ⭕ macs are my least fav to make, cuz I can’t get them right more than half the time. #トトロ #myneighbortotoro #macarons #spiritedaway #macaroons #studioghibli #kawaiifood #cookiesofinstagram #frenchmacaron #cookiegram #马卡龙 #cutefood #eattheworld #decoratedcookies #thebakefeed #cookieartist #huffposttaste #デザート #wiltoncakes #マカロン #甜点 #디저트 #쿠키 #クッキー

“Making macarons is only a hobby, so I have no baking experience prior. I just started making macarons a year ago. The interesting part is how to pipe them neatly. My favorite part is decorating them since I get to add all of the adorable little details. Favorite character to make has to be Molang and Pusheen since I do make them a lot,” the baker said, adding that she loves to create and post her creations on Instagram, in order to make people smile.

Anyone who’s tried making macarons knows how tricky it to make these cookies, especially if you want them to look this good.

Take a look at Moon’s fabulous macarons in the photos below.

🐼+🍍+🍎 = Pandapple or Pinedapple? Have you ever experienced “no good deed goes unpunished”? I have quite often, especially when it comes to my job 🤷🏻‍♀️. This week I got punished severely for helping someone. Instead of earning x amount of money, I ended up losing that x amount of money. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, I lost some more money out of my own pocket 🤦🏻‍♀️. It’s tough being nice sometimes 🤣………wwwhhyyy? Decoration on top are royal icing, edible marker and petal color. My royal icing skills needs lots of work 😆. They’re filled with 🍍 swiss meringue buttercream. I just mixed the🍍 jam directly into the buttercream. #pandas #macaron #macaroons #apples #kawaiifood #cuteanimal #macaronstagram #frenchmacaron #디저트 #pandalove #マカロン #cutefood #pineapples #cookiedecorator #macaronslover #쿠키 #パンダ #kawaiicute #cookiegram #甜點 #макаронc #馬卡龍 #cakelover #kawaiioftheday #bakestagram

2nd installment of #sixmonthsofcakes with a group of talented bakers hosted by lovely @chahrazadscuisine @sweets_by_joana @sashacakeschicago. The theme is “Not So Red Valentine”. Be sure to check out the hashtag #sixmonthofcakes. Can Valentine’s Day be a celebration of 💗 and support of all kinds? Like these monster bff’s will always have each other’s backs. It is rare that I fill my macarons, but I’m actually giving these to a friend. The filling is strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream to match the @pockyusa stick flavor. I did eat one for quality assurance 🤣. I usually don’t eat my decorated macarons, but I was curious what it tasted like with a Pocky stick. The verdict….”it’s delicious!”

Lunar New Year is next Saturday on the 25th. It will be the Year of the 🐀 based on Chinese Zodiac. Anyone here celebrate Lunar New Year? I’d love to hear your story. I live in Southern California so there is a large Asian population. It’s very festive around this time of year in certain areas of Orange County & Los Angeles. An influx of visitors from out of state or other countries, decorations at some local malls, foods/plants related to LNY are on display in many of the Asian grocery stores. There are numerous festivals filled with food and entertainment for the occasion. 🐉 dance and 🧨 are staples and you can see them at all the festivals and some of the local businesses hire them for good luck. Sounds like fun right? Well, I’m always home so any holidays are just like another day for me 🤣. I know, I’m spoiled living here. Excuse my bad royal icing work on these macs 🤣. I need a lot more practice! Sprinkles are from @simplysucre part of the “Bite Me” mixed. It’s my favorite for Valentine’s.

Today is my birthday so I’m an Aquarius ♒. @Molang.official is my most fav character to make, so of course I have to include Molang on my special day. Why are some Molang holding the 🌝? That’s because my last name is…you guessed it…🌝😁. They look more like 🧀 balls, but hey it’s the year of the 🐀 for 2020 – dual purpose haha. “Twinkle Twinkle” sprinkles mix by @simplysucre. Aren’t they pretty with the wafer🌙 ? And blue is Pantone’s color of the year. Decorations are done with @sweetsticksau edible paint, @satin.ice fondant, royal icing, @wiltoncakes edible marker and ⭐ sprinkles, @simicakes1 isomalt 💧 and chiffon cake for the 🧀🌝. Much thanks to @phay_shing for the delicious chiffon cake recipe. And I only use @americolor for my macarons.

Please pray for 🇦🇺! My 💔 for them dealing with all the bush🔥. I cried watching the local news when they showed a clip of an injured 🐨 hobbling thru the burnt forest. It’s heart wrenching to see the devastation and to know that more than 500 million animals have lost their lives. Many people have died and many more lost everything they owned. I can’t fathom the pain and loss they’re going through. Many organizations need our help and support during this crisis. Everything adds up so please help whatever you can. I donated to the NSW Wildlife Information Rescue Education Service (WIRES) last week. You can find a list of organizations on abc.net.au/2020-01-01/bushfire-relief:-how-you-can-help-frontline-services/11835156
