Blowtorched Toast Art

The X Factor Judges Immortalized in Bread Sponsored by Warburtons

An artist has depicted the faces of a UK talent show, The X Factor, onto pieces of toast. They were made for Warburtons, a bread brand who is sponsoring the show. This is a great example of getting more for your money with this pictorial-turned-PR stunt.

Lennie Payne, a toast artist for over 10 years, created images of Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh using only slices of bread, a blowtorch and a knife.
