Created by Cedric Grolet, these edible Rubik's Cube creations are mind-boggling in a whole new way. The French chef uses a combination of gourmet ingredients, beautiful colors and daring artistry to fashion desserts in the shape of the classic three dimensional combination puzzle.
Grolet's Instagram account displays pictures of the puzzling treats, including the Lemon Rubik's Cube, shareable options and even a cake version available at Le Dali restaurant. Gold foil cubes, pistachio pieces and coconut flakes add to the 3D visual effect of the edible Rubik's Cube. Playing with flavors and colors make the treats differ in hue and style from the original brightly colored game, but they likely taste more delicious as a result.
The cubes demonstrate a nostalgia and inclination towards 'boujee' desserts.
