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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ed-ruscha-x-andsons) and a really green Fidel Castro--cigar and all--made with vegetables. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Food Sculptures:** Creating intricate sculptures using food as the medium. - **Edible Art:** Using food to create visually stunning artworks. - **Sustainable Food Art:** Exploring art made from organic and eco-friendly materials. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Event Planning:** Incorporating food sculptures as unique and memorable installations for events. - **Fine Dining:** Introducing food sculptures as avant-garde menu items to enhance the dining experience. - **Art Exhibitions:** Displaying food sculptures as a new form of artistic expression in galleries and museums. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Painterly Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Fine Art-Covered Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-cacao-artbars.md) - [Interactive Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-kinetic-sculptures.md)
