Making A Portrait Out Of Pizza

Making A Portrait Out Of Pizza
Silly as it may sound, you have to admit that as a child, playing with your food or better yet, making an art masterpiece out of it was very liberating. 

Now children (and adults), we’re not suggesting that you play with food because it’s obviously wrong on so many levels but let’s just say this is a 1-day guilt-free pass to go wild on decorating your pizza or pasta. Again, we’d like to emphasize, we strictly don’t condone playing with your food.

What you’ll need for this art class:

Olives, tomato puree, basil, mozzarella cheese, pepper, pepperoni and of course a canvas… we mean crust.

The trick is to imagine that you’re painting an actual portrait, only this time you’d want to eat the
portrait afterwards so please do not go all messy and Picasso on it.

Step 1
Use a brush to smother the tomato paste according to the features of your subject person.

Step 2
Set the eyes with olives.

Step 3
Use basil leaves to form the hair.

Step 4
Sprinkle mozzarella carefully to create the contours of your subject’s face.

Step 5
Use pepper to create freckles.

Step 6
What shall we do with the pepperoni? Good question. Line those slices all around your pizza creating a pepperoni perimeter (no artistic intention there, only because it’ll taste good).

Step 7
You get the picture. Now go crazy! We know you can do better than our 7 Step approach.
But in case you’re low on the creative juice, here are some cool examples to guide you…
