If You Like Desserts,

this is the post for you!


 to make desserts this mouthwateringly tempting,

 a typical French pastry would be rolled, glazed, baked, and trimmed,

 and then some,

 with as many master chefs, more than a few little touches are added, 

 to make the pastries of Shayna Leib, the best of the best,

 but there is an irony here, 

 Leib is unable to indulge, Her body reacts to several aspects of puffed pastries and chocolate mouses, causing her to have many severe dietary restrictions, it was this void that pulled her towards the desire to work with the unattainable, to recreate the objects she couldn’t eat, “This body of work started as a therapeutic exercise in deconstruction and a re-training of the mind to look at dessert as form rather than food,” says Leib in an artist statement about her series Patisserie, “It soon became a technical riddle, and I became a food taxidermist of french pastries.”

there is another catch too, we also can not eat them, they are all made of glass! You can view more of her sweet imitations on Instagram, and Facebook, what a stunning glass worker she must be to be able to make such exquisite glass desserts!
