The post Maleen Macatangay is Turning Healthy Food Into Edible Works of Art appeared first on TheWanderWit.
]]>Macatangay kicked off the tradition of arranging her son’s food into elaborate creations because she had trouble convincing him to try new foods. This new tradition worked wonders for his diet and helped him eat more veggies and fruits, so Macatangay decided to start sharing her creations with the world, hoping she’d help out other parents dealing with picky eaters.
“I get lots of people commenting asking me to teach them how I make the dishes that I do because they are facing the same issues. We all know how hard it is to raise a child who’s a picky eater and find things they will eat. People always say that I’ve inspired them but the truth is that they inspire me,” she told Mirror.
Macatangay’s plates are deeply rooted in popular culture and often pay homage to her son’s favorite cartoons. We’ve also seen her create food art inspired by many iconic film and TV characters, ranging from Wednesday Addams and Coraline to Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

]]>Using only chocolate and food coloring, Guichon built an enormous half-peeled banana with a tip dipped in chocolate. It measures 66 in (167.64 cm) x 29.57 in (75.1 cm) and is deemed the largest chocolate sculpture of fruit by official Guinness World Record evaluators.
“There are a handful of us chefs in the world able to craft chocolate at that scale. Not only is the material very precious and expensive, but it requires a lot of work, year after year, to be able to master it enough to bend it to your will,” Guichon explained.
Guichon also shared the laborious process behind the gigantic chocolate banana sculpture in a clip posted on his official TikTok profile. It shows the chef building the sculpture by molding the chocolate, assembling the individual pieces, and applying the finishing touches to give it a realistic look.

This also isn’t the first time Guichon has broken a world record with his chocolate creation. He also holds the Guinness World Record for the largest chocolate sculpture of a balloon animal.

]]>Working with a sharp knife, Kishimoto decorates food with complex designs, turning them into miniature sculptures. He often turns to traditional Japanese patterns for new ideas while also seeking inspiration in nature.
He often has to work fast in order to avoid oxidation but still managed to pack an incredible amount of details into each of his pieces. When finished, Kishimoto snaps a photo of his creation and then eats it in order to prevent it from going to waste.
Kishimoto decided to give food art a try after seeing a report about it on television. He started sharing his works on social media in 2016 and has since amassed a huge following. This is particularly the case on Instagram, where he has 250K followers.
“I enjoy doing it because, as a chef, I find it extremely pleasing to create beautiful objects from food,” Kishimoto said in an interview with SWNS. “People also find it entertaining, which I think is important.”

]]>Hannah P. started baking after receiving a Dutch oven and a simple no-knead recipe from a co-worker—and never looked back! After creating her first sourdough starter, she started experimenting with crust art by carving her loaves or adding edible decorations.
When you look at her loaves, it seems like there’s a lot of planning going into each one, but that’s not the case. Hannah told My Modern Met that she doesn’t like planning her doughs or designs too much because improvisation is part of the fun.
When it comes to her carved bread designs, she admitted there’s an element of rush and danger going into them. She has to act fast when creating them because it’s easy to ruin the design if the scoring tool slips midway through or if she misjudges the hydration of the dough.
From fruits and veggies to nuts and herbs, Hannah enjoys decorating her bread with every food that she stumbles upon, so head to her Instagram page for some bread art inspiration.

]]>Rin shared her newest dessert creation that could rightfully be considered as an art piece. She made a cheesecake featuring a lively scene of capybaras bathing in Japanese hot springs (onsen) while being surrounded by oranges, vegetation, and rocks. According to Rin, the scene was inspired by real-life as capybaras soaking in an onsen is a familiar sight in Japan.
Rin’s creation generated a lot of attention, with social media users praising her impressive cake and cooking skills. This prompted her to make another similar cake with an updated scene that featured a duck and an adorable chubby bird. She also has plans to make other cakes with similar scenes from nature, and we can’t wait.
If you fell in love with this cake and would like to try it, we have some great news for you. Inspired by the positive reactions, Rin made a tutorial with detailed instructions on making her Capybara Hot Springs cake.
The recipe is quite simple and doesn’t require baking. Check it out below.

Seriously, it wasn’t even close. I got hundreds of great suggestions but the one that came up over and over again was “something from Dark Crystal!” Not only am I pleased as punch to get to create this humble homage to one of my favorite shows (on Netflix now – go watch it!) I’m so happy to know that so many of you love it too! The use of real puppets and sets is just so special. To know that these worlds actually exist and can (in theory) be visited in real life makes me happy. Visiting those sets one day is my dream… 
⠀⠀ I started making the Gelfling character “Deet” out of modeling chocolate (with a malt ball eye) but I didn’t have any green chocolate paint to tint her skin, and also decided she needed a more defiant expression so I switched her to “Brea.” So we’ve got Brea’s coloring and expression on Deets features 
Bit of artistic license! I’m happy with how the Skeksis Chamberlain turned out though – he’s just pie crust painted with gel color mixed with vanilla extract. ⠀⠀ Have you seen the show yet? If a “Jim Henson World” theme park existed, what fictional locations would you just love to visit – The Pigs in Space set? Labyrinth? Fraggle Rock? Sesame Street? Farscape? The Muppet Babies Nursery? Let me know in the comments below, and thanks for all your great pie suggestions! ⠀⠀. #jimhenson #darkcrystal #brianfroud #lisahenson #wendyfroud #pieart @darkcrystalofficial @hensoncompany #ageofresistance #jimhensoncompany @netflix #thra #thedarkcrystalageofresistance #skeksis #gelfling #pieThis talented Canadian baker is a real expert when it comes to pies, as she is able to turn them into real works of art. She is inspired by pop culture and she includes scenes from popular TV shows like Game of Thrones and blockbuster movies like Star Wars.
As a matter of fact, her pies are so well crafted that you might have trouble digging into them in order not to spoil their artistic value. No matter how mouth-watering they are.
“My mission is to show the world that not only can pies go head-to-head against the poshest wedding cakes and fancy-pants desserts on the most discerning buffet tables of the world, but that they can be fun and easy to pull off too!”- says Jessica on her official website.
Check out some of her creations below.
Since it’s a special occasion, I thought I’d share this pie I made for @marvel today too!

Jessica’s super Kawaii treats have always been a delight, but it’s her photo styling and sense of design that really blow my mind… I hope you love her work as much as I do! ⠀⠀ Now for me it’s time finish the last bit of tidying before the family arrives – we’re hosting Easter this year and as my son said “the Easter bunny is going to feel bad for coming here and dump all the eggs in the garbage if we don’t get the yard looking nicer” 
⠀⠀ I’m so excited to be doing another Pie Art collab with the incredibly talented Liz Joy of @inspiredtotaste – and of course we just had to do something Game of Thrones related what with the final season premiere just a week away… So tell me, are you a Jon/Dany shipper? Or is it “Jon & Ygritte 4eva” for you? 
Head on over to Liz’s profile to check out our pick for the ideal match for young Jon… ⠀⠀ This pie is blueberry with black sanding sugar and little crow “pie dough cookies”, also covered in black sanding sugar. I had a lot of fun making (and eating!) this one – the crows were fun to dip into the filling like little sparkly nachos. 
Hope you enjoy my La Catrina-inspired pie… I had a ton of fun making this one and trying out some new dough coloring techniques to achieve this antique-y look. All the deets will be in tomorrow’s making of stories! ⠀ If you and your Pie Art loving buddies aren’t following my feed yet, now might be a good time to take the plunge… The post These Pop-Culture Inspired Pies Should Be Considered Works of Art appeared first on TheWanderWit.

and support of all kinds? Like these monster bff’s will always have each other’s backs. It is rare that I fill my macarons, but I’m actually giving these to a friend. The filling is strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream to match the @pockyusa stick flavor. I did eat one for quality assurance 
. I usually don’t eat my decorated macarons, but I was curious what it tasted like with a Pocky stick. The verdict….”it’s delicious!”Moon is a self-proclaimed “obsessed macaron hobbyist” who enjoys making these delicious treats in her spare time. Everything started a year ago when she decided to give it a try despite having no previous baking experience.
Encouraged by not burning her house down, Moon started devoting more time to this hobby and soon became an expert for macarons. Wanting to do something different, she decided to start baking macarons in all sorts of different shapes, including monsters, animals, and other creatures. She made sure to use warm colors and give them happy faces, which resulted in the most adorable macarons you will ever see.
“Sometimes I wonder if it’s hard for people to eat them only because they look so cute,” Moon says. “There’s plenty to look at; my works feature a wide variety of adorable little monsters, animals, and other creatures.”
Moon also intends to learn how to do other pastries like cakes and cookies, but until then, check out some of her adorable macarons below.

based on Chinese Zodiac. Anyone here celebrate Lunar New Year? I’d love to hear your story. I live in Southern California so there is a large Asian population. It’s very festive around this time of year in certain areas of Orange County & Los Angeles. An influx of visitors from out of state or other countries, decorations at some local malls, foods/plants related to LNY are on display in many of the Asian grocery stores. There are numerous festivals filled with food and entertainment for the occasion.

are staples and you can see them at all the festivals and some of the local businesses hire them for good luck. Sounds like fun right? Well, I’m always home so any holidays are just like another day for me

hobbling thru the burnt forest. It’s heart wrenching to see the devastation and to know that more than 500 million animals have lost their lives. Many people have died and many more lost everything they owned. I can’t fathom the pain and loss they’re going through. Many organizations need our help and support during this crisis. Everything adds up so please help whatever you can. I donated to the NSW Wildlife Information Rescue Education Service (WIRES) last week.

]]>But it all started by sort of mistake. “It’s a real case of being at the right place at the time right time,” he told Vulture. “My best mate worked in television and suggested that I apply for a job in ‘the edit’ at this new cookery show. With no TV experience or idea about how edits worked, I blagged my way in and started two days later.”
After his editing job took off, Hovey shared with the directors and editors that his passion was actually illustration. “It led to the director coming to me in the second week saying that he felt there was a visual element missing and maybe I could come up with some ideas,” he recalled. “I sketched a few examples, we decided on a style that fit the bill and I got the gig.”
Throughout the many seasons of the show, his creative style has stayed consisted, creating appetizing illustrations of the deserts at hand. “The concept was to create drawings based on what the bakers may have sketched out when deciding what to bake in the show in their own recipe sketchbook,” explained Hovey. “The style has grown with the show and I think as the contestants’ skills have improved year on year, so have mine, and in turn my ability to display their creations in the best light.”

]]>Stucchi is 26-years-old and he lives in Italy. He named his Instagram account idolcidigulliver, a name taken from the children’s book Gulliver’s Travels. In the book, the main character Gulliver travels to the land of tiny Lilliputians and Stucchi’s miniature worlds definitely remind us of the story.
Procurarsi un temperino gigante per creare i riccioli di cioccolato e noleggiare un camion gru per posizionare le ciliege.
The secret to making a perfect black forest cake? Get a giant pencil sharpener to create chocolate curls and rent a crane truck to place the cherries.“I wanted to present my desserts differently from others,” Stucchi told The Local. “There are lots of artists who create miniatures using food, but I focus on desserts. I try to use my imagination as much as possible in order to surprise people.”
See his works below.
