Body Bakery is an eatery located in Thailand that is run by creative Kittiwat Un-ar-rom that features bread buns designed to look like realistic faces and anatomical parts. The food is meant to look realistic, gruesome and macabre while exploring the eater's comfortability with eating seemingly realistic human components, despite the faces being made out of familiar ingredients.
The Body Bakery is what the name implies: a bakery that serves pastries shaped like organs. The edibles are shaped and then painted to resemble features of the organ or face and include other edible ingredients such as nuts and raisins to form different parts of the body. Food coloring is also utilized to replicate the aesthetic of blood.
