If you enjoyed our post on breakfast artist Idafrosk, you’ll love this work by Instagram foodie Hong Yi.

During the month of March, she challenged herself to create an original illustration every day with two constraints: the image had to be made entirely of food, and the backdrop had to be a white plate. She created landscapes, animals, scenes, and homages to pop culture.
Here’s a peek at a few favorites…

Spring is here and we’re throwing an epic outdoor party with Keep.com! The first thing we did was load up our Keep.com collections with invites, supplies, party decor and everything else to make the soiree a memorable affair.
What is Keep.com? Keep.com is a visually inspiring marketplace. You’re wowed by hand picked fashion, food, and craft supplies, then you are one click away from the purchase.

It’s like owning your own specialty boutique.
Now let’s talk about this spring bash that i’m trying to pull off. I thought it would be cool to ask you guys to help me with the planning by sharing with me your fav party supplies and web shops that carry them. You’ll need to sign up for Keep.com and basically start keeping your super fab finds. You follow me on Keep.com and I’ll follow you. Let’s start sharing!
A great event starts with a fantastic invitation. We found ten that will get the party goers running to their calendars to save the date. DIY projects and pre-made cards by indie makers all made the list. Where do you buy your invites? Let us know by Keeping them!
Join me as we take a look at some of the best party invitations of the season…


Hands down, this has to be the coolest wrapping paper ever. The only hard part would be finding a gift to top the package!
You can order the animal gift wrap pack for $6.75 from the super fab Le Petit Pot shop on Etsy. Happy wrapping!

Easter Carrots Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Even your little ones can help make these super cute and easy-to-make Easter treats. The ones pictured above are from Harry & David, but you can find a recipe for making your own here.

Bird’s Nest Macaroons
Create lovely little speckled robin’s eggs using a toothbrush and some blue food coloring, and then make a coconut macaroon nest to hold them. Get the recipe and tutorial at The Fauxmartha.

Glitter & Confetti Filled Easter Eggs
You can’t eat them, but these DIY Easter eggs from Griottes are super sweet all the same. It’s considered to be good luck when you break the glitter and confetti filled eggs–known as cascarones–over someone’s head.
Update: You can also find a tutorial for this confetti egg game–with a fun twist–over at Oh Happy Day.

Rich Chocolate Cake with Truffle-Egg Nest
Truffle eggs tinted robin’s egg blue and tucked inside nests of milk chocolate shavings atop a gorgeous chocolate cake… need I say more? Visit Martha Stewart for the recipe.

Baby Carrots Planted in Hummus with Roasted Garlic
How fun are these baby carrots with parsley leaves dipped in mini planters filled with hummus? Head over to La Receta de la Felicidad for the recipe.

If you haven’t already jumped on the Instagram bandwagon, Idafrosk’s whimsical food art is reason enough to hop on board. The Norwegian photographer/foodie draws inspiration from everyday life to serve up a daily stream of amazing breakfast art using ingredients found in her kitchen.
Here are a few favorites…
