If you ever wished a piece of art to be edible, a pastry chef in San Francisco has created little dessert replicas of everything from a perfectly square Mondrian cake to Frida wedding cookies.<\/p>\n

Caitlin Freeman, pastry chef from the Blue Bottle caf\u00e9 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, translates famous artworks she sees daily at the museum into edible dessert bites.<\/p>\n

Her new book,\u00a0Modern Art Desserts: Recipes for Cakes, Cookies, Confections, and Frozen Treats Based on Iconic Works of Art<\/i><\/b><\/a>, features images of 27 original artworks photographed side-by-side with her dessert creations. Easy-to-follow directions accompany each edible work of art with step-by-step assembly guides for amateur bakers (like most of us out there).<\/p>\n
