    What a great idea to let art inspire our food presentation! I'll have to devise a dessert a la Mondrian someday... I can already see how it could be done...

    Love the arty apples... Expect these cakes will be auctioned off for gzillions? Your toast could become curiously collectable, Lenore.

    The Cezanne cake is absolutely dreamy. It looks luscious, just like the painting.
