I’ve come across two instances of totally adorable presentations of food recently that would fit better on Cute Overload if they were actual instances of what they represented. The first are bento boxes for children, which are so painfully precious that you almost dare not eat them. Justin Jorgensen wrote about them, and his post and the Crazy Happy Lunch section of his site lead me the blog of Junko Terashima, who apparently makes incredibly detailed bento boxes for her children nearly every day. She also has the mother lode of links of cute bento boxes in her blogroll.
My other recent discovery is a collection of artfully modified produce that seems to have been taken from a calendar (the hole for hanging is visible in several of the scans). The majority of them were made by simply cutting the produce and adding blackeye peas for the eyes. My personal favorite though, is this absolutely ridiculous picture made with mushrooms, rhubarb, and what appears to be a broccoli stem:
