Sometimes playing with your food can yield amazing results. It doesn't always have to be a big mess, like when your kids or grandkids decide that their spaghetti is more fun than a sandbox.
Strawberries are one of the prettier whole foods out there. The luscious, juicy red just pops against the green of the leaves on top. Then, once you open up a strawberry, the patterns inside are just too fantastic to be true. Yet they are very real!
Whether you make a simple arrangement with slices of strawberries on top of a deliciously sweet smoothie for breakfast, or you take the time to carve a plump fruit into an elaborate, decorative flower, your strawberry art will turn out great.
These 12 pictures of strawberry art are all so lovely, but not lovely enough to keep me from wanting to eat each and every one of them. Those chocolate-covered ones will definitely be the first to go.
Please SHARE these pretty fruits with your family and friends on Facebook!

Seriously, these little fruits are killing me with cuteness. Getting greeted by this happy sun on a Sunday morning would make the entire week so much better.

So clever to let the luscious red pop through with those three strawberries, so you know what's hiding under all that chocolate.

When your lemon tarts are looking a bit plain, strawberries will come to your rescue.

Looking at this for too long, it seems like the strawberries start to move as if this were one of those optical illusions. Better just eat them up before they play too much of a trick on your brain.
