It is no secret that Rice Krispy squares are delicious. However, New Yorker Jessica Siskin has discovered that when made out of Rice Krispies, most things actually taste better. The cereal entrepreneur makes extravagantly decorated Rice Krispy treats that she posts on Instagram in the form of edible art. What started as a fun snack to bring to a friend's house has become a business for the food artist as she now sells her creations.
From replicating other food like cheese platters and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to Lloyd Dobler's boom box, it appears no object is off limits. Other subjects include emojis, magazine covers and elements from pop culture.
