Cartoons Turned Into Food, An Inspirational Food Art Gallery

I'd like to propose a toast ? - Ever since I made those avocuddle cakes I've been craving ? toast ?, so inspired by the cute ? creations of @annachaannn and my friend @cutechichai , I decided to decorate my own with some of my fav characters ? (you will love their work if you aren't already following - both make the most amazing Kawaii food ?). I must admit I'm a bit of a toast amateur, so I prob spent more time at the grocery just starring at jars of organic Nutella and fruit than I did creating these because I couldn't figure out what would and wouldn't be weird on toast ? (like what about yogurt? ??). Peanut butter is always a good idea imo, so I used it, Mango, and natural marshmallow for Rilakkuma. Molang, and that grumpy Gudetama ?are whipped cream cheese and fruit, Pusheen is Sesame spread mixed with the cream cheese, and Keroppi is ? decorated with ?, ? and olives. What are some of your favorite toast toppings? Also, I love a good challenge, so if you ever have any animals or characters that you would like to see me make in food form please let me know ? #f52grams #flatlayforever #heresmyfood #postitfortheaesthetic #dslooking #kawaiifood #foodieflatlays #foodart #cutefood #darlingmovement #dshappy #flatlaytoday #pusheen #rilakkuma #choosejoy

I pika-choose you ⚡️❤️: I hope your weekend was awesome! I really wanted to do some bts for today's #luxesundaysmoothies in my story, but (as usual ?) I was running late to catch the best light for my photo, so I'll have to get started earlier next week to show you more details ?. I love all of your character ideas, and thought I would begin with one suggested by my friend Agnes @hellowonderful_co - Pikachu ?. I found a delicious mango smoothie bowl recipe @downshiftology that uses only 4 ingredients - coconut water, banana (I froze mine), frozen pineapple, and mango. Mango is one of those perfect summer flavors that I can't get enough of while it's in season, so I used mine fresh instead of frozen (I think this also helps with the vibrancy of the bowl). The eyes, nose, mouth, and tips of the ears were made with ? (the white part on the eyes is yogurt). I cut everything else out of mango, using the red part of the peel for Pikachu's cheeks and the details on the tail. The mango recipe also had an accompanying recipe for a Chai Spiced (Grain Free) Granola which is so good on top of the smoothie and as a snack ?. #pokemongo #pikachu #pokeball #yahoofood #flatlayforever #smoothiebowl #dslooking #kawaiifood #foodieflatlays #foodart #cutefood #darlingmovement #dshappy #coconutwater #pokemoncenter

The toast of the town ? - Today has been a bit of a lazy Sunday spent planning my projects for the week while watching tv and eating endless snacks (I think I eat more snacks than actual meals ??). I was craving pancakes, but I discovered coconut cream cheese during my last grocery haul and was excited to test it out ?, so I decided to turn some of your character suggestions into toast instead ✨?. I made Pochacco for the lovely Cyn @hotpinkpineapples using the coconut cream cheese with a sprinkle of dried coconut flakes on top, and ?. Tsum tsum Pooh is lemon curd, mango and chocolate. BMO is the cream cheese (colored with a combination of spirulina and chlorophyll) then topped w ? and a freeze dried blueberry for my dear friend Queenie @queeniescards . Hamm is cream cheese (colored and flavored with crushed freeze dried ?), topped with ? and more strawberries for @sugarformyhoneybunny ?, and because I can't make toast and not make ? toast, I made Mike using avocado, olives, cheese and chia seeds. Now who would like to join me for a slice (before I eat it all myself ??)? Please keep sending your awesome ideas my way and I will do my best to make them all ??. Hope you have a lovely start to your week! #f52grams #flatlayforever #heresmyfood #postitfortheaesthetic #dslooking #kawaiifood #heresmyfood #foodart #cutefood #darlingmovement #dshappy #pooh #bmo #winniethepooh #choosejoy #toystory #mikewazowski

"The wonderful thing about tiggers is that I'm the only one" ? - Happy Sunday!!! Hope your weekend was full of fun ?. I've been slowly turning Pooh and his friends into smoothie bowls for my #luxesundaysmoothies , so when I found a Carrot Ginger Turmeric Smoothie @minimalistbaker I decided it was finally Tigger's turn (in tsum tsum form) ?. Plus, I could seriously use some of that bouncy energy after the time change ??? (does anyone else feel like a zombie today?! ?). The key to making a smoothie bowl a satisfying meal is to keep it thick enough that you can eat it with a spoon, so I made a few modifications to the original recipe (I froze the ? juice in an ice cube mold, and reduced the liquid), but I didn't change anything with the flavors. This smoothie is spicy and sweet, and oh so good (it's packed full of awesome antioxidants as well ???). To make my smoothie bowl extra tiggerific, I topped it off with some mango, ? and ? for the face, and used ?for the eyes and whiskers. Which Winnie the Pooh character is your favorite? #winniethepooh #tigger #huffposttaste #yahoofood #choosejoy #smoothiebowl #pursuepretty #postitfortheaesthetic #kawaiifood #foodart #cutefood #darlingmovement #dshappy #thekitchn #flatlayforever

Go bananas ??? - Woohoo the weekend is almost here?!!! Time to stock up on all your fav snacks so you can sleep in and not have to go anywhere. Ok, maybe just I like to do that ?, but then I always remember one last thing I need and end up at the store every single day anyway (like for these banana runts because priorities ?) . You know how much I adore those silly minions, so when @__________becky__________ suggested that I make them into donuts I couldn't wait to get started! After dipping the ? flavored donuts in yellow @wiltoncakes candy melts, I decorated them using frosting and candy ? (I prefer to use the blank side and pipe my own eyes so I can change the direction they are looking in). Now if only I could get them to help me with my errands...???? #minion #minions #sweettoothforever #choosejoy #sobestfriendsforfrosting #postitfortheaesthetic #bandofun #dslooking #kawaiifood #foodart #cutefood #wiltoncakes #dshappy #marthabakes #seekthesimplicity

Happy as a ? in ? - It's time to go hog wild because today is National Pig Day ???? !!! Pigs are one of my fav animals (I even considered getting one as a pet, but Mouse likes being an only child too much ?), and strangely enough, I seem to have a thing with making them in donut form lol. Wishing I had some of these little piggie donut holes left (plus, that chocolate ganache ?) to celebrate ?. If you could have any animal as a pet, which would you choose? #choosejoy #nationalpigday #sobestfriendsforfrosting #postitfortheaesthetic #foodieflatlays #bandofun #kawaiifood #foodart #sweettoothforever #wiltoncakes #heresmyfood #mycupcakeaddiction #thebakefeed #verilymoment #inmykitchen

On a roll ?? - Happy Saturday! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to read my last post, and for your kind comments. I'm always so proud to be a part of this supportive and creative community, love you all ?! Ever since I made the teddy bear burger buns (lol try to say that ten times fast ?), I've been wanting to try more things with bread. Inspired by my talented friend Jen @craftedbyjen and @littlemissbento I thought it would be fun to make ??& ? bread ice cream cones. I actually used the same bake and serve yeast rolls that I used for the burger buns, and divided them into smaller pieces to make these. Once the bread was done I used @wiltoncakes candy melts to attach them to cones (and to make the tops look like melted ?), then I decorated them with frosting and the prettiest Twinkle Sprinkle Medley in "I Believe" that I received in my first @sweetapolita sprinkle subscription ???. This weekend is definitely a good one for more baking lol- it was sunny and 76 here yesterday and today it's 35 and snowing ??! Do you have any fun weekend plans? #livingpastel #onthetable #pursuepretty #bandofun #kawaiifood #myunicornlife #mycupcakeaddiction #marthabakes #choosejoy #thebakefeed #sobestfriendsforfrosting #heresmyfood #sprinkles #yahoofood #studiomuccisugarcrush #flatlaytoday

Wishing you a beary Happy Valentine's Day ?? – I bet you didn’t think my next heart shaped animal was going to be a bear ?, did you ?? Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to just be about the sweet stuff. I’ve teamed up with @harvestsnaps to bring you a heart healthy meal that’s as easy to prepare as it is delicious! These Wasabi Ranch Teddy Bear Turkey Burgers are made using only three ingredients, but are full of flavor thanks to the crushed snaps that are mixed in before grilling ?. Cute food is the best kind in my opinion, so for an extra special touch I topped them off with heart shaped teddy bear buns (which only look tricky), and used olives and ? to decorate them. You can find the full recipe with tutorial pictures (even the burgers and cheese are ❤️ shaped), and see how I made these into ? soon on the @harvestsnaps blog! I hope your day is full of happiness, love and lots of heart shaped goodness ?! #harvestsnaps #teddybear #cheeseburger #huffposttaste #yahoofood #choosejoy #bento #postitfortheaesthetic #dshappy #kawaiifood #valentinesday #foodart #cutefood #darlingmovement #eattheworld

I d?nut know what I'd do without you ?: Happy Galentine's Day to all of my sweet, talented, crazy amazing gal pals - I love you all ?! If you are like me (always waiting til the last possible minute to do anything ?), I have just the gift for you to bake! I am so proud to have my strawberry Hello Kitty Valentine's donuts up on my friend Virna @virna_gambini 's gorgeous blog. Not only are they mini and pink, but this recipe starts with cake mix, so they are literally a piece of cake to make (sorry for that ?). I was inspired by the brilliant Erika @sumopocky to turn them into Hello Kitty (her bow is even made with ❤️ sprinkles), and I used the prettiest Valentine's mix from @fancysprinkles to make them even more festive. For the full recipe please go to www.veevidly.com/ - I promise you will be so glad you did! Virna has a true eye for creating images just as beautiful as she is, I find new inspiration every time I visit ?. #sanrio #hellokitty #sweettoothforever #mycupcakeaddiction #sobestfriendsforfrosting #livingpastel #bandofun #kawaiifood #catlover #choosejoy #wiltoncakes #sugarandclothloves #pursuepretty #marthabakes #eatcakeforbreakfast

Hogs & kisses ?? - Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and I have the perfect guilt-free treat for you to make for your sweetie (or keep them all to yourself, I won't judge ?). These Strawberry & Cream Donuts are gluten and sugar free (only sweetened with Stevia and ?), but they don't skimp on flavor! I used @zevia Strawberry Soda to keep them light and fluffy, and because they are baked instead of fried they taste like cake (def a win win imo ??). Just like Zevia, I only used natural ingredients to color and sweeten this recipe. The glaze was made with crushed freeze dried strawberries to get that lovely shade of pink ??. You know how much I love playing with my food ??, so inspired by the color I decided to turn these heart shaped donuts into pigs. The ? are cut out of honey based marzipan dough, the ears are whole raw almonds, and the eyes are melted dark ?. You can find the full recipe with tutorial (and more pictures) soon @zevia . Please let me know if you try it out - I would love to see ? #zevia #sponsored #thebakefeed #sweettoothforever #everydayIBT #postitfortheaesthetic #dslooking #kawaiifood #foodart #dshappy #verilymoment #choosejoy #yahoofood #mycupcakeaddiction #pig #valentinesday #heresmyfood
