Maybe it is because I am on a diet, but no matter where I look, I am confronted with awesome food innovations, from[cakes earlier this week](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/more-eats-for-geeks-millenium-falcon-cakes), to these edible architecture creations.

But forget the cakes, I found these utterly brilliant images of [houses made from crackers, cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-forest-cookie-can), and french fries. They look amazing, but all I can think of is that feeling of regret after eating [cold french fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-potato-bites) at a burger outlet. However, the details are truly great, and I have to grant bonus points for featuring dogs.

I just added this into the hobbies category, but now I just cannot stop thinking about who really has the time, or is willing, to do something like this.
