We love to enjoy food, especially when it becomes an entire experience. Not only is the taste and texture of a dish important, but when the aesthetics draw you in, that food becomes even more tasty. Food and bakery scientist, Elana, of the blog LaniBakes, knows exactly to make your mouth water at her flavors and your eyes water at her designs.

Sprinkle Tart
This colorful tart covered in sprinkles is Elana’s favorite tart—and we agree. The assortment of colors, textures and general aesthetic beauty of this dessert makes us want to put this in our home as a piece of art. Too bad it’s too delicious to not eat.
