Food landscapes – Broccoli trees, filet of fish sea, foodscapes, mmm

Nablopomo – Scenery

Foodscape - Landscape picture with broccoli trees, balloons made out of bananas, pears, produce, strawberry, lime; basket of berries blueberries and raspberries; potato rocks

Now this guy knows how to play with his food!

Broccoli looks like trees, cauliflower clouds, whole scenery with bread mountains

Carl Warner has dozens more of these foodscapes in his portfolio, but I’ve gotta say, I really prefer his older work that looks like the last set of pictures on this page. The new stuff looks mostly just Photoshopped. Still artistic and cool to look at, but I have a much harder time picturing that someone actually put it together with real food.

Enjoy some more of these pictures and check out the original artist’s website for much bigger pictures (I set one as my desktop wallpaper) and a bunch more awesomeness.

I love that there’s a prep picture shown. I would’ve just assumed everything was painted or produced online to begin with, rather than being able to believe it was all done out of real food. Yummy.

How many sips does it take to get to the bottom of hot chocolate art?

Nablopomo – Most recent accomplishment

Most recent, huh? Well for that, and I went to my camera and the most recent stuff I have pictures of are a cup of hot chocolate I had yesterday.

And I must say, I think it’s quite an accomplishment that I drank the entire thing without causing the picture in the foam to disappear. Woot!

His cup of coffee wasn’t nearly as entertaining:

Why yes, I did take that many pictures of a single cup of hot chocolate. That I didn’t make myself. And wasn’t anything special. In public. Yes, I did.

Nablopomo – Favorite candy – Chocolate

Chocolate pecan and pretzel turtles that really look like turtles

Adorable, no? As if candy turtles could get any better beyond their pecan caramely chocolatey goodness, then somebody had to go and add turtle heads.

That somebody was Robin Sue from Big Red Kitchen, and if you read her About Me section, you can get a great sense of how funny and awesome she is in both the kitchen and her blog writing. Here is where I tried to sum up the variety of recipes and stories she posts in a single line and well, it just wasn’t happening because there’s too much to say….so just go look. :P

And then she does stuff like this that really tickles my fancy. Do you see that tail??  Her tutorial gives the full low-down on how to do it and with even more adorable pictures than the teasers I gave you here. Look at those faces!

Oh, and if you have any nut allergies in your house, you’ll be happy to notice the pretzel leg alternatives. Yum.
