Sweet Art

In keeping with our recent rediscovery of the joys of edible fun, and our ongoing appreciation for the art-fun connection, allow me to introduce you to Amezaiku, the Japanese art of candy sculpture, as so sumptuously illustrated by this collection of images of said same.

Now that you've developed a taste for the delights of "sweet art," a brief visit to Home Sweet Home will take you to the perhaps less exotic, but clearly artlike collection of gingerbread creations. Don't overlook this self-transcendent sugar bowl made out of sugar.

As a final treat on this brief, but sweet journey, be sure to visit this tasteful collection of links called the "Science of Candy." Coming from the always remarkable Exploratorium, this compilation of links will lead you to many a treat for both mind and mouth.
