"Yummmmy" Miniature Food Sculptures

Miniature food sculptures by Stéphanie Kilgast to whet your appetite
Stéphanie Kilgast discovered the world of miniatures in the summer of 2007, replicating food into tiny sculptures small enough to put in your pocket.
The German-born artist, now based in Paris, chose to sculpt food to highlight the instinctive need of sustenance, while simultaneously reminding us of the pleasure that comes with eating. Kilgast's ultimate goal though is to make people happy through her work, and it seems to have worked, as her creations have won rave reviews around the world and she's in-demand as a speaker and author.
Kilgast is currently showing her works at a trade fair at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (18 July to 23 August 2013), an exhibition that includes twenty miniature pieces inspired by French favourites.
Would you like a slice of chewy baguette?
Or a buttery croissant and a pain au chocolat?
Look at the folds and detail on the croissant...that fit nicely on the tip of her finger!
A hearty serving of crêpes and jam
This is what we'd like to have for breakfast in bed, please: coffee for a morning pick-me-up, thick buttered slices of toast with ham and cheese, and a side of fruit yoghurt.
A board of seafood, smaller than a matchstick!
A familiar sight at barbeques: Burgers, kebabs and hot dogs
Oysters, anybody?
A fantastic, greasy breakfast.

Or would you rather plain rice and broccoli?
Sushi smaller than the width of a finger; Kilgast's patience and attention to detail really is amazing.
A humble bowl of fruit.
A homely roast dinner.
What's Christmas without spicy and tummy-warming gingerbread cookies?
Traditional gingerbread houses take up your whole table. Kilgast's one fits on the back of a fork!
A yummy dessert table for a wedding buffet. Which dessert would you go for first?
The process of making chocolate brownies is a messy affair...
Kilgast shows us how a fruit custard tart is done.
Each donut is only a quarter of the matchstick in length!

How many plates of food do one need to fill them up if they are of this size...?
