Although the article "Quirky Art: Dessert" is about coffee and desserts, it goes a step beyond the normal and adds a special flavor by featuring some very unusual, and very temporary, artwork. I think we have all seen the photos of coffee art with hearts and smileys, but have you ever seen the coffee art being done? I never really gave it much thought and did not realize how advanced coffee art has become. I sat enthralled while watching the latte artists quickly whip up a cute little design to decorate an already delicious looking drink. I don't think I will ever be happy drinking my bland little cup of Folgers again.
Further down the page, writer resabi, gives us a look at some amazing cake art. After all, don't we need some cake art to go with our coffee art? A quickly drawn bunny face in a cup of coffee is really no great loss, but I can't even imagine the time spent on creating a flower garden cake, and who wants to be the first one to cut into that?
The Quirky Art: Dessert article was whipped up by Squidoo lensmaster resabi, whose profile says in part that she is a "follower of paths frivolous and not", and I am glad she brought us this somewhat frivolous lens to enjoy.
All of this type of art will not last and that, in part, is what makes it so enjoyable. All that time and effort put in by the artist will be drunk down, gobbled up and ruined and then another creation will begin.
She leaves us with a fun poll entitled, "Could You Eat This Cake?" and after viewing the cake, I think you will find that the answer may not be as easy as you think!
