This piece, titled 'Post Ocular' reveals the inside of a pumpkin in a whole new light
The work of Nadege Meriau
looks more like something out of a science fiction film than food
photography. A fan of the fruit and vegetable section of the
supermarket, Meriau turns her five a day into stunning but strange
grottos and dwellings. Awesome.

04. Maurice Bennett
Maurice Bennett carefully toasted thousands of bread slices to create this stunning Barrack Obama portraitMaurice Bennett
aka The Toastman creates his amazing artwork from, yes, you guessed it,
pieces of toast. Bennett takes thousands of bread slices, toasted in
different manners to underline various skin highlights, tones and
shadows. His work includes portraits of the Mona Lisa, Barrack Obama and
Elvis Presley.
It blows our minds a little that this entire scene is made of butter!
Artist Jim Victor
is incredibly dedicated to his work, spending hours in freezers
sculpting various life-size figures, including horses, cows and
children, out of huge mounds of butter. But Victor doesn't restrict
himself to the dairy product, he also creates artwork from chocolate,
cheese and fruit.
07. Zhanna Bakery
Soft drink anyone?
Ok, so you may be wondering what's so inspiring about this
case of Pepsi. Well, if you look a little closer, you'll notice that is
in fact a cake. Based in St Petersburg, Russia, Zhanna Bakery has
created some of the most amazing cake designs we've ever seen. The
unbelievable designs include everything from realistic looking treasure
chests and sewing machines to famous buildings and hamburgers.
08. James Parker

carving. In fact, he is so passionate about the artform, in 2001 he set
up his own company Veggy Art,

09. Jason Mecier
We're thinking we'd probably haven eaten a lot of the materials on this project
Using pretty much any food he can lay his hands on, mosaic artist Jason Mecier
creates brilliant, intricate portraits. Previous work has seen him
combine crisps, beans, hamburger buns, sweets, cookies, noodles and
pretzels to produce images of celebrities such as Rosie O’Donnell,
Christina Aguilera, Pamela Anderson and Jerry Seinfeld.
10. Prudence Staite
A pizza dough Rome. Awesome.
When Prudence Staite
couldn't decide whether to be a chef or an artist, she decided to
combine the two. Now, using mainly chocolate, she sculpts edible art.
But her talents aren't limited to designing with the sweet treat, one of
our favourite pieces is this awesome sculpture of the Colosseum made
out of pizza dough for an exhibit at the Museum of London.
