Do you ever hear people tell you, 'Don't play with your food!'? It looks like these food artists did not listen to that advice! These amazing artists use delicious food to create and design sculptures. Using just a piece of bread, a vegetable or even a cookie, these artists have learned to make unique art. But unlike paint or clay, some foods can spoil when left out for too long. This means that many food artists have to work very carefully...and quickly!
