What happens when you combine Haagen Dazs ice cream with a team of artists?

Ice Moons!

To create an almost spherical shaped ice cream concoction, they have to mold the ice cream in two separate parts and then join them without a seam being seen from the outside. The moon idea came from all sorts of places apparently, so if you’re interested in how this project came together, check out the FB page for it.

There are two different versions:
  • white moon consists of a pistachio biscuit base, layers of macadamia nut ice cream and meringue and a coating of raspberry ice cream
  • orange moon has crunchy chocolate at the bottom, layers of nutty ice cream and salted caramel and a coating of vanilla ice cream
I’ll go with the latter one personally, but I think they’re both quite gorgeous.

The Spice of Starry Night – Works of art in spice form

Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night painting made out of spices

I featured Art with Salt last year, but Kelly McCollam is a bit different. She apparently considers herself a photographer first and foremost, so after she takes a picture, she wipes up the spices and moves onto another project. I think she’s more of an artist than she may realize. I don’t recognize all of her masterpiece recreations, but she has a ton more on her site that are all quite gorgeous.

Cupcake nail art

art, cupcakes, videos | October 25, 2012 | By

Unlike my previous nail art post that featured food, this is a single video. It’s a full tutorial that shows how to make the various cupakes and sprinkles nails. I much prefer the smiley cupcakes than the others, but it’s a bit more detailed and time consuming.
