Food as Art

10 Clever Food Sculptures

These ingenious and clever food sculptures come from different events and fairs around the world.

La Niña, La Pinta and La Santa Maria--the three ships that transported Columbus and his men to this part of the world--were beautifully and skillfully done with waffles.

There’s also a bust of the Pope in full regalia that was made out of dough. Side note: Wasn’t the making of dough popes on the updated list of sins which the Vatican rolled out recently?

Anyway, continuing with the sculptures, there is also a big house made of oranges, a beautifully detailed Elton John in chocolate and a really green Fidel Castro--cigar and all--made with vegetables.
