When boring round cakes just won’t do, there’s these architectural and geometric masterpieces by Ukrainian chef, Dinara Kasko.
Applying her background in architectural-design, Kasko creates desserts with lines and structural composition that’s often reserved for designing large sculptures, or the exterior of an art museum.

So, what happens when a Pizza Hut goes out of business, and a new tenant moves into the distinctively-roofed building? Pizza Hunt wants to show you.
Brought to us by photographer, Ho Hai Tran, the photo series consists of former Pizza Huts, that now house completely different, non-hut-related businesses.
Even if it’s now a liquor store, Chinese restaurant, funeral home, or church — it’s unmistakeable that a pizza-like product and breadsticks were once served there.
The project is currently in Kickstarter phase to help raise funds for a Pizza Hunt photo book. Check it out here.
When you start seeing architecture as food, either it’s time for lunch, or you’re the creator of Gastro-Architecture.
Illustrator and art director of The New York Times Book Review, Nicholas Blechman, sees architecture as edible or as a food tool, and he’s got the adorable cartoon series to prove it.
Whether it’s the Fifth Avenue Apple Store as an ice cube, or the Cathedral of Brasilia as a crown roast, the playful series will have you looking at buildings in an entirely different way. Except art deco… very unappetizing.
