Artisitic food

Diwali cupcakes

I've long believed that food is an expression of who we are as individuals,what we appreciate in life...as in beauty is in the eye of the beholder ! To be an artist one need not always express themselves on canvas...while I am an art lover...art is also in music ,theatre, fashion ,jewellery ,writing and in food too ! Food allows all kinds of artistic expressions....food photography is growing every day with more and more people getting addicted to it...case in point ;))
Food stylists are also more in demand today than before...the simple act of eating has been re invented to 'fine dining'...whether at home or at an expensive restaurant...how fortunate are we that we have evolved into bringing happiness into our lives and to the lives of our children,friends and family by lending artistic touches to food in tiny ways...the way the eyes light up or the gasps of delight are more rewarding than any other reward monetary or otherwise....and there is no right or wrong...as it's rightly said...beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder !!!
I'd like to share with you some pictures of fun festive designs on cupcakes,cookies and halwas...especially for Diwali...why should Christmas have all the fun?!! ;))))))))

festive halwa

I can only imagine the smiles on the face of this person who thought up of presenting the halwa in this manner...a happy soul for sure...a lot of love has gone into this dish !

This is something I really look forward to trying out for next year...the colours and designs are amazing ,on a simple butter cookie...stunning ! If any of you do try it out,please do send me your pics !!! This is just an icing sugar and hot water icing...so festive and cheerful !
