Sweets! Candy! what do you think of cake sprinkles and marshmallows? For most of us we think of something edible like candy, or pastries but for Michelle Wibowo, she used it in a different way. She used half a billion sprinkles, 10000 marshmallows to recreate “The Creation of Adam” by an Italian artist Michelangelo and she called it the “The Baking of Adam.” The art work was 5.7 meters wide by 2.8 meters tall and took 168 hours to complete. She created this for the 450th anniversary of Michelangelo’s death.

She found it amusing to recreated old paintings as coffee painting while using shades of brown. Also in her recreations she adds in a coffee cup. For example here is a painting of the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper.
