Or should you? While your mother’s advice normally applies, there are a number of fun and creative artworks that have been made using food as the primary material. Funny food art takes commonly used food items like fruit and eggs and transforms them into something a little more recognizable. Many of these are very simple, and took a creative mind to come up with.
All I can say, you’ll never look at an egg the same way again.
Here are some of the best pieces of funny food art around.

Eggs and a felt tipped pen can create instant funny food art. Their white surface is ideal for making simple faces.

Another prime example of what a little creativity can bring. They’re all wondering who’s next.

This one takes just a little bit more skill, especially when cutting the egg shell.

Funny food art can be as simple as this, and somehow it still gets the point across.

Fruit is the easiest food to carve into funny food art, but it still takes a lot of skill.

Funny food art doesn’t have to be one type of food. Combining foods for different colors and textures work well too, like in this frog made of fruit.

Or, like this guitar play made from a watermelon and other types of fruit. I think the guitar is made from pineapple.

A flock of cauliflower sheep are easily made and make great funny food art.

The Bento box, a type of Japanese lunch box, can be used to make amazing food art, like this piece using fish to make a woman’s legs.

And, a personal favorite, a carton of eggs made to look like the Storm Trooper from Star Wars.
Real creative stuff.
