Edible art

It is distinguished from Edible Arrangements (which predominantly consist of fruit) because it is usually more elaborate dessert food.

Such pieces of art can be created using a cake base onto which the cake decorations are placed, or they can be made purely out of fondant or sugar but, while edible, not created with consumption intended, such as Mexican Calavera.

Each graphic artist has their own set of skills in creating their work, but there are several basic starting points for edible dessert art.

Many artists in this field have a degree in fine arts,[citation needed] and participate in freelance decorating.

[3] Many edible art pieces relate to popular children's movies, books, and television shows.
