These breaded skulls are some of the best anatomically correct pieces I have ever seen; I am, of course, talking about skulls made out of bread, not skulls that have been dipped into bread crumbs like you would a piece of chicken.

Jeph Gurecka is the man behind these bread skulls, and he delivers an awesome range of art that would not look out of place in any bakery. He baked these skulls especially for the opening of his installation and then left them to decay during the course of his exhibition.

Love everything about these breaded beasts!
