Pastry Chef Creates Some Truly Baffling Desserts

Ben Churchill is known for his disconcerting desserts. The pastry chef is a true master in the art of trompe l'oeil desserts and it shows. On his site, we discover with amazement an apple cake in the shape of a foamy sponge, a parfait declined in moldy orange, a vanilla cotta pan transformed into an ashtray filled with cigarette butts or even – our favorite – the iron throne of Game Of Thrones, all in chocolate. Mastering the art of detail to perfection, he produces truly surprising creations...

A pastry chef who is also an author

Quite proud of his desserts, the British pastry chef has released a book “Food Illusions” which lists his craziest works. He does not hesitate to share them regularly also with his 18,000 followers, on his Instagram account. Green plant in its pot with its soil, coconut mushrooms or green apple and its earthworms... Very realistic, of course, but don't be fooled by appearances because apparently, these desserts are delicious!
