]]>Huynh has always been a creative soul, and carving her own path as an artist has been quite a journey. She studied interior design at the University of Architecture in Ho Chi Minh City and experimented with many different mediums—from pastels, pencils, and charcoal—before falling in love with watercolors.
In addition to being a talented artist, Huynh is also a huge foodie, and she’s using her illustrations to preserve and celebrate her favorite recipes. Many of her illustrations are a love letter to Vietnamese cuisine, and she enjoys introducing her favorite dishes to people from all around the world.
“As an illustrator, I’ve found that art is a powerful tool to convey the intricacies of each dish and the cultural significance behind it… Through my work, I can promote the preservation of culture through the food we consume daily, which is beautiful,” she told Vietcetera.
In addition to posting her work online, Huynh is also sharing her talent by hosting watercolor workshops, and she poured her knowledge into the book Watercolor Food Illustration: Learn to Paint Realistic Foods, Ingredients and Keepsake Recipe Cards.

]]>Belo is a Brazilian-born painter based in New York, and she embarked on quite a journey before finding success with her quirky cakes. She studied social work during her time in college and eventually moved to the U.S. for her master’s, but never gave up her passion for art.
She explored different mediums over the years, from illustration and multimedia storytelling to ceramics, before finding an unexpected form of self-expression in cake art. It all started when she made a cake for a friend’s DIY wedding and attracted the attention of the food and art space Lil’ Deb’s Oasis.
Belo’s designs only got wilder as time went by, and she doesn’t shy away from fully embracing chaos with each of her creations. Frosting and filling are oozing or dripping out of her abstract cakes that look straight out of this world, and she uses everything from fresh flowers and herbs to layers upon layers of buttercream to make them truly pop.

]]>His first attempt came for the creation of a yin-yang symbol created from the yolk and white of an egg separated and placed very intentionally on a pan. “From that moment, the ideas kept flowing, each design becoming more intricate than the last. I used to share my creations on my personal account, but in 2017 I decided to create The Eggshibit,” wrote Michele.
He’s tried other food mediums, but he can’t help but keep coming back to eggs. “While I’ve experimented with other foods and materials, eggs remain my favorite. There’s something uniquely calming and captivating about the contrast of the egg white and yolk against a black background,” he told Bored Panda.
Though the fried egg might seem simple, Baldini has managed to make it truly eye-catching. His works are not only tasty looking, but truly one of a kind. “I think what sets my egg art apart is the intriguing use of an everyday object—the fried egg—to portray something equally familiar, like another object, symbol, or even a landscape. This combination creates a sense of relatability while sparking curiosity, making it both thought-provoking and uniquely engaging,” wrote Michele.

]]>Faith Charlotte is the mastermind behind the pottery brand Charlotte’s Clay Shoppe, who used the power of social media to put her small business on the map. She attracted 140,000 followers on Instagram and 25,000 on TikTok since the start of her journey, and her unique approach to pottery made it all possible.
Charlotte was just twelve when she first started experimenting with polymer clay, and we’ve seen her make many types of different ceramic objects as the years went by. She kicked things off by making mini food charms but shifted her focus to jewelry boxes and incense burners as her sculpting skills evolved.
The retro aesthetic has always had a strong influence on her work, and her signature food-shaped trinket boxes are a case in point. She enjoys making ceramic art shaped like pancakes, burgers, cakes, toast, cinnamon rolls, and many other comfort foods, putting incredible attention to detail into each piece to make sure they look as delicious as the real thing.

]]>A while back, Nguyen presented what might be his most daring creation. He created a series of cakes in the shape of extravagant dresses. These pieces resemble the elaborate gowns worn on European courts in the 17th and 18th centuries with their massive size, low neckline, and virago sleeves.
As you might guess, it takes a lot of work to create such a detailed and complex cake. Nguyen starts with a sponge cake base that is held together with buttercream and chocolate. He then covers it with fondant and spends hours meticulously carving it in order to achieve the desired look.
Nguyen also spends a lot of time on research in order to get every detail right.
“To create a realistic dress, I had to research everything from the way the fabric pleats, how to fold the hem, trim the waist, sew buttons, and then adapt the techniques to the material used to make the cake,” Nguyen shared in a recent interview with Oddity Central.

]]>Looking to bring together her lover for sushi with her passion for illustration, Kiyota started making sushi that can be easily described as a work of art. Her sushi creations are filled with vivid imagery, featuring traditional Japanese motifs, animals, and portraits, all done with seaweed, rice, and veggies.
Kiyota is so proficient in making sushi edible art that she is even able to recreate famous paintings like Edvard Munch’s The Scream and Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night.
“I thought, if you could draw freely using the sushi roll technique handed down as a traditional local dish, wouldn’t it be possible to create a new form of edible art?” Kiyota shared in a recent chat with The Guardian. “For Japanese people, rice is something familiar and important. People from other countries can draw on paper or canvas, but drawing on rice is an expression unique to Japanese people.”
Kiyota frequently shares her new sushi edible art on social media while also providing classes for people who want to give this type of food art a try. She also released a book dedicated to her practice titled Smiling Sushi Roll: (Sushi Designs & Recipes).

]]>Liu is the founder of Embroidery Code, who fell in love with this art form during a trip to Dali, China about a decade ago. The locals there introduced her to punch needle embroidery, the technique she still swears by today.
Unlike most punch needle artists, Liu doesn’t rely on felting, and she only uses silk and cotton threads to craft her show-stopping embroidery pieces.
“Every piece of artwork has been created using her newly developed 3D punch needle embroidery technique which combines the skill of hand embroidery, scissors sculpting, and an artistic eye. As a result, this gives the work a very realistic look,” she explains on her official website.
Liu could’ve easily explored any other subject, but opting for food wasn’t a coincidence. She’s a huge believer that every fruit, veggie, snack, and dish has its own character, and she wanted to challenge herself by capturing them in perfect detail, while also allowing us to explore our relationship with food and the feelings it awakens in us.
