If you’re looking for oodles of art — you’ve come to the right place. Artist Seung Yul Oh created a series of noodle art with ramen and other Korean pastas suspended 12-ft from the bowl.
And speaking of the bowl — the broth, vegetables, and other ingredients are hyperrealistically-recreated as the base of these very tall sculptures. Grab a ladder and dive into some more noodle art here.

Inspired by this t-shirt by Threadless, the ‘Ramen’ses Return Cake was created by Jessica Allard. Made with hundreds of sweet noodles, the vanilla buttermilk and vanilla butter cream mummy is part of a series of Threadless t-shirts turned cake.
Cakes that look like other stuff will never get old. Especially when the dessert in question is a dead ringer for a yummy bowl of ramen. Brought to us by Create Eat Happy, the Ramen Cake has set the bar pretty high for cakes in disguise.
It’s also set the bar for attention to detail, and for how much it makes us want ramen and cake immediately. And, it will probably try your patience if you attempt to recreate it — which you can learn how to do here…

Mr. Incredibeard doesn’t roll with regular bowls… He has one built into his face. His Beard Bowl is a convenient way to get ramen, or any other food, into your pie-hole as quickly as possible. The convenience factor might even make up for the long hairs that will surely accompany your noodles.
Mr. Incredibeard also uses his impressive whiskers to hold drink cups and other random awesomeness.

So long, Ramen Burger… We hardly knew ye. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt over at Serious Eats has created the Ramen Crust Pizza — an even better alternative use for instant noodles, and a combination of the two most important food items in co-ed history.
Although Kenji is sort of a mad scientist/food genius, the recipe appears easily duplicable. Have at it, co-ed.
