Carol Gillott's heart belongs in Paris. The New York-based painter conjures her dainty tarts and foamy lattés out of thin air, with watercolors mixed by hand from raw pigments. Oh la la!

Hard to know whether to eat these Fractured Prune donuts or frame them. One thing's for sure: Homer Simpson would plotz.

Domo x 7-11

permalink

While 7-11 hasn't won any awards for cleanliness (at least not the one by us), they do get props for their new Domo-themed accoutrement. Mmmm, slurpees... (Via Lovely Package.)

Hostess Cake Sushi

permalink

Sushi that even the pickiest eater can get behind. What it lacks in vitamins it makes up for in geometrical splendor, wouldn't you say?

Peter Anton

permalink

Food and art have a few things in common: they stoke the senses, appeal to the eye and communicate in wordless ways. Peter Anton's donuts, for instance, make us drool.

Licorice Allsorts

permalink

Licorice Allsorts taste chewy and look like wetsuits circa 1987. The British confection was invented in 1899 but looks oh-so current–– it's the candy that doubles as a decorative element.

Marzipan World

permalink

It's one of those basic human truths that big things turned into small things made out of sugar are extremely appealing. This probably explains the eternal popularity of marzipan (can't be the taste.) Marzipan World answers your need for marzipan burgers, sea urchins, dice, lobsters and more.
