I just love it when food and art overlap. Food artist Prudence Emma Staite has created a collection of works that recreate famous paintings out of chocolate Smarties. There's a wide range, from Pop Art to some more classical works.
The collection is showing at the Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood in east London on Friday. It's all part of the Smartie Art Exhibit, which is celebrating the return of the blue Smartie.
Do you think Nestle would sponsor an exhibition if they brought anything else back? I'd have to do some research about what to reintroduce, but I bet I could think of something. What do you think would make a good food art project?
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into

Hmm...when you said Smarties, I was thinking of these:

These appear to be like our M&Ms.

No rdhaht, these are chocolate Smarties, which are sold in Europe and Canada. They're similar to M&Ms, but taste different.
