Chef Creates Mind-Bending Desserts That Resemble Everyday Objects

Ben Churchill is unlike any chef we’ve ever seen. Not only are the desserts that he creates delicious, but he looks to create food that pushes the typical boundaries of human perception.

As the old saying goes, art feeds the soul. That’s why Churchill likes to include art in the foods that he prepares. Each dessert he crafts are made to look like an array of real-life objects.

1. This may look like your typical ‘egg on toast’ breakfast. In reality, it is actually a piece of lemon sponge cake. The “egg” is made from mango yolk and whipped cream.

2. The dish may appear to be made of rocks and bolts but Churchill has something else in mind entirely. Banana and chocolate was used to create this illusion.

5. We have a lot of questions about this set of photos. Namely, where did he get the idea for the worm?

8. If you’ve never had a carrot cake that is actually shaped like a carrot, Churchill is here to change your life for good. The soil is made of chocolate. The “plant pot” is loaded with whipped cream.
