A world made out of nothing but food sounds pretty much like the best thing ever, and photographer Carl Warner has come pretty darn close to making that dream a reality through his unbelievable "foodscapes." Carl told CNN that he selects the foods he wants to use for his shoots, then employs the help of a food stylist and model maker to help make it a reality. From there, he photographs the food as quickly as he can to keep it from going bad under all the hot lights he uses. Sometimes, he has to capture the scenes in layers and combine them later in order to prevent his art from wilting right before his eyes! But all that hard work eventually pays off in the form of dream-like scenes that are way too beautiful to eat.
Food and art are two of the world's greatest pleasures, so putting them together is pretty much guaranteed to be a great idea! We've seen some incredible edible masterpieces before, such as this leopard pancake that looks like it would be more at home in a museum than on a plate. Warner's foodscapes really take nutritious art to a whole new level, though. Before you take a closer look, these photographs don't even look like they contain food at all! Can you believe that these were taken with a camera and not painted?
If you love Warner's work as much as I do, check out his website to see more foodscapes and even buy them as prints! Number 4 on this list looks like it would be perfect for a child's bedroom, don't you think?
Make sure you SHARE these drool-worthy photographs with everyone you know!
1. Great Wall of Pineapple
This fruity marvel probably tastes a lot better than the stone one in China.
2. Spaghetti Western
I thought this guy was a real human cowboy, but it turns out he's just an impasta.
3. Nutrilite Waterfall
All those green veggies make this a vacation spot your kids will be begging to stay away from.
4. Candy Cottage
I'm pretty sure this little house is better than anything Hansel and Gretel ever came across.
5. Foods of Switzerland
When you hear your friends say they could eat a "mountain of food," they probably have something like this in mind.
6. Cucumber Bridge
You probably won't find a troll hiding under this bridge, but don't be surprised if you find a rabbit.
7. Cheese Volcano
Forget the fondue fountain — I want a cheese volcano at the next wedding I go to.
8. Tuscan Landscape
Haven't you heard? Beans are the next big eco-friendly building material.
9. Cart and Balloons
When I was five, I always tried to convince my mom that broccoli pieces were just small trees. She laughed at me then, but look who's laughing now.
10. Cheesescape
The Italian in me can't stop thinking about how this scene just needs some noodles and olive oil to become the perfect romantic meal.
11. Chinese Junk
Is that a sea of wasabi? That ship is in for a rough voyage.
12. Coralscape
I know they say not to eat thirty minutes before getting in the water, but what about gorging yourself while you're in the water?
13. London Skyline
London Bridge might not be falling down, but it's only a matter of time before it gets eaten up.
14. Gondola
This almost looks like a tastier version of the movie Up.
15. Stilton Cottage
With a yard that looks like that, you could afford to live so far away from the nearest supermarket.
16. Salami River
The idea of this is kind of disgusting, but the reality would be pretty delicious.
17. Coconut Haystacks
You won't find a needle in these haystacks, but you could find some tasty milk instead.
18. Cereal Dust Bowl
This poor town hasn't seen a splash of milk in months.
19. Garlicshire
I can only imagine how bad the hobbits' big, hairy feet would have smelled if they walked around in these homes all day.
20. Cabbage Sea
These waters might be rough on the boat, but at least they're good for your digestive system.
