Food projects are the best kind of projects.

My sister had to do some art thing for school a while back and it was awesome beyond reason. I helped. We made a delicious bust of Aristotle. This is how it went:

We made his tasty little shoulders out of rice krispies. We had to start over because we ate the first shoulders - these are the second shoulders.
We formed a head-like structure. That thing sticking out of his head is actually a chopstick. Unfortunately, we didn't have a better plan to keep the head on. The chopstick remained where it was until Aristotle's 'demise'. (Sister took him to class where he was graded, admired and ultimately, eaten.)

Then we slathered him with delicious white frosting. That is my sister's hand.

We temporarily lost focus and did this.

We finally stopped eating the frosting directly from the container long enough to make this fondant! It is made of: marshmallows, powdered sugar and love. :)

Then we covered his cute little krispy head with fondant and began sculpting with whatever we weren't eating.

Smoothed out the lines and added facial features. I like to think that he's a carefree, jolly type of guy.

This is the final product. And my finger lovingly picking his cute little fondant covered krispy nose.

 Needless to say, we are culinary geniuses. Obviously.
