If you have a young space-enthusiast with a birthday coming up, you might want to check out this awesome Space Cake.
Brought to us by imgur member, Pedagiggle, the cake was created for her four-year-old, Ilyas. The planets are made possible by creating marbled cake spheres first and then embedding them into the final batter.
Get a bit more insight into how she made the Space Cake here.
If you stop for a second, in the middle of the street, and take a good look at a manhole cover, you might notice that some are actually quite beautiful. Especially if said manhole cover was edible.
The Chocolate Manhole Cover is brought to us by Twitterer @38beem. It’s made of solid chocolate, with the ‘rust’ created with cocoa powder and the ‘street’ made with different-colored cookie crumbles. Now stop staring and get out of the street.

What’s better than sampling small plates? When those samplers are actually sugar cookies, that’s when.
Food artist Masako creates intricate cookies that are made to look like savory meals — from sushi bowls, hotpots, sandwiches and soups.
Check out more of her work below and over on Instagram.

Although, at first appearance, these appear to be some kind of new and awesome fruit chews, they’re actually an art project to help bring awareness to the industrialization of produce.
The student art project, cm-VEGE by Takuma Kamata, paints a grim picture of where we may be headed with genetic modification. With the use of PVC pipe, acrylic paint, cardboard, wood, and other materials — Kamata reinvents fruits and vegetables in cylindrical form, imagining that they’d be easier for suppliers to ship.
They would certainly be easier to slice. See more of the project below.

If you were to pass by these tables of food at the wrong angle, it would appear to be nothing more than a really awesome buffet. However, as a wise jedi master once said, “Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view.”
Viewed at the correct angle, the buffet turns into Yoda. Referred to as an anamorphosis, the piece is brought to us by food artist Jolita Vaitkute and photographer Paulius Zaborskis. See more pictures below you will.
