Artistic Bread

We all know what artisan bread is: bread which is hand made (so it's got a few bumps and isn't quite as clean cut as Wonder bread) and is generally a lot more expensive but also more tasty. A few of us know what artistic bread is. Artsitic bread is bread which is shaped into creatures or some simple shape. The japanese are probably the most well known when it comes to artistic bread. Their love of beautiful foods has lead them to create cute little creatures out of bread. I have seen turtles, porcupines, etc formed of bread in various Japanese bakeries.

I recently stumbled upon a picture that puts the Japanese artistic breads to shame:



Those creations are actually bread O.o This is made by some shop in Paris. The full article can be found here. I think I should go to Paris now to try out this artistic bread and see if it is as tasty as it looks
