When you think about sculpture, your mind probably goes to classic artists like Michelangelo sculpting marble or clay into works of art.
For the unique statues below, however, the sculptors used something we usually find in our fridge: butter.
Whether these artists were competing in a state fair or preparing for a big event, you can't help but be blown away by the detail in each of these dairy designs! I'm even impressed that these sculptors chose to work in a refrigerated room while making their one-of-a-kind creations to ensure they wouldn't melt.
Just imagine how greasy those hands must be by the time they finished! Who knows — maybe the butter helped their hands stay moisturized despite the frigid atmosphere?
Have you ever seen butter sculptures in person, or made one yourself?

Hopefully the actual meals kids get at the schools nearby don't include quite as much butter as it took to create this cute design.
