When Hunger Strikes

"How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?"

So it's usually around this time of night that I get hungry. Really hungry.

But there's this blog thing I have to do, and.. well I guess I could kill two birds with one stone and bring food and design together. Shouldn't be too hard, eh?

It only takes a little bit of magic, after all, to turn this Nikon D700..

..into this Nikon D700. It's the same thing, of course. Just tastier.

The design of food is one of those things that doesn't seem very important until it's gone. Going to a restaurant and having all of your meals come out as a pile of slop hastily tossed on a plate would definitely increase efficiency, but it's not exactly what customers expect from a typical lunch stop. Aesthetics play a huge part in determining the difference between Joe's Diner and a candidate for a Michelin Star. 

Thus, it's fair game to analyze food.

All of the details are there. Other than the gunmetal-gray body (probably made out of fondant) and a few missing buttons and knobs, this edible D700 is nearly an exact replica of its real-life counterpart. Even the letters, done in precise white frosting, are in their proper places and sizes. The red highlights are re-emphasized by the red velvet internals. The abnormally smooth exterior makes the cake look almost as if has been made out of clay or Play-Doh, and thus slightly less appetizing, but even that can't dent the sheer awesomeness that radiates from this custom-made cake..

Yeah okay, that didn't help my hunger at all. Food time.
