I’m not certain that I might be the only one who gets hungry after viewing a piece of mosaic art, but if you think along the same lines as me, you probably think there’s no type of art more delicious-looking than mosaic art. How can you not confuse the little discarded bits for [hard candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luis-gimeno) or Smarties?

Well, it looks as if this baker (Flickr user cupcakejonas89) knows what I’m talking about as I salivate over his multi-tiered mosaic cake. I think I saw just a rosy vision of [my future wedding cake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robocake). Cut me a slice of this stained glass baked goodness anytime!
