# Deceiving Cookie Sculptures This Oreo Cookie Artwork Looks Good Enough to Eat By Sarah St.Jules | Published 2013-07-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cookie-artwork References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2013/07/12/Alexander-Barretts-Oreo-Sculptures/) & [alexanderbarrett](http://alexanderbarrett.com/filter/illustration/Oreo-Sculptures) Creating sculptures is hard work on its own, never mind combining it with the crunchy, delicious texture of a cookie, but with this Oreo cookie artwork, sculptures have never looked so yummy. Alexander Barrett, an artist based out of Brooklyn, was hired on by [Nabisco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-pretzel-oreo) to create these interesting sculptures made out of [Oreos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-twists-lab). The content was voted on by the public via [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-blackout-cake-chocolate-sandwich-cookies), and then Barrett went to work creating these truly original sculptures. The texture of cookies is not usually conducive to proper sculpting, and even some of his pieces are made out of the cream filling inside the Oreo. The most incredible facet of this artwork is the detail that went into it -- these pieces really do look lifelike. This Oreo cookie artwork proves that an artist can use almost any medium and make beautiful (and yummy) work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cookie Sculpture Art:** Exploring the potential of using cookies as a unique medium for artistic expression. - **Public Voting for Art:** Harnessing the power of social media and public opinion to shape the direction of artistic creations. - **Edible Artwork:** Blurring the lines between art and food by creating visually stunning sculptures that are also delicious to consume. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food companies to collaborate with artists to create unique edible art experiences or limited edition products. - **Fine Arts:** Art galleries and museums can explore showcasing cookie sculptures as a novel form of artistic expression and engagement. - **Social Media and Digital Marketing:** Platform and marketing agencies can leverage public voting and engagement strategies to drive audience participation in shaping creative projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Salty Artisan-Inspired Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-pretzel-oreo.md) - [Architectural Sugar Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-story-of-salt-and-sugar.md) - [Customizable Cookie Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-twists-lab.md) - [Customized Foodservice Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreoid-for-business.md) - [Cubic Cookie Movie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-x-a-minecraft-movie-campaign.md) - [Collaboration Cookie Bundt Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cookies-cream-bundt-cake.md) - [Playfully Branded Crosswalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-walks.md) - [Creamy Sandwich Cookie Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-cake.md) - [Cookie-Infused Cream Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popup-bagels-x-oreo.md)
