Palette pleasers

Mondrian might have called this Cake.Walk:





This post-modernist Battenburg was created for the Art Fund in Britain, as part of a bake sale to raise money for museums.  What a glorious idea!  When I saw this page of edible masterworks, I thought first of rushthatspeaks and their fabulous agar-agar cornucopia.  Then casting way back, I remembered the Botticelli I'd once molded in marzipan:  a Venus, on a genuine half shell.

And there are recipes!  The Van-Gogh-inspired ploughman's lunch is particularly off the wall.

But what works of art would you like to do/see done?  All Late Baroque looks like icing sugar anyway.  Hmm.  You could do Saint Theresa's ecstasy in angelhair, with artfully draped lasagna for her robes...
