This Miniature Banana Has A GIANT Secret!

One look at some of the food on this list, and guaranteed you'll start feeling very, very hungry. The only problem?

These scrumptious dishes are no longer than the pad of your forefinger. What's more, they aren't actually food. They're SCULPTURES!

Miniature food is quickly becoming a popular hobby. Our obsession with all things TINY only seems to grow – we've got tiny houses and tiny dogs. The list goes on.

People from all over have become very adept at creating delicious food no bigger than a penny, and by the looks of some of these examples, not only is this a legitimate art form, it's the kind of thing that takes years to perfect!

Take a look at some of the tiny food below, and tell us it doesn't make you excited to whip something up in the kitchen (or with clay)!
