I used to think I was pretty creative when it came to making food look cute and silly for my kids (it's hard to go wrong with pancake batter as your artistic medium). I saw this crazy food contest being held by The Crafty Crow and realized that perhaps my mad food design skilz are a little lacking.

Check out this Flickr Crafty Crow Funny Food Contest photo group. I think I could manage this yogurt face but would draw a big, thick line at this adorable orange-based bee.

When it comes to making food look a little cuter than normal for your kids, what edible art tricks do you have up your sleeve? (If they are that good, you should be entering that Crafty Crow contest!)
