Like avocados? Like food art? Then you're going to love the unique art of Colette Dike. She's a food blogger and founder of the blog Food Deco, and there's literally nothing she can't do with the Mexican fruit.
While most of us just pound it for guacamole or slice it up and throw it into a salad, the Amsterdam-based food blogger turns those slices into intricate forms of edible art that look (almost!) too good to eat. From spirals to roses and even hearts, the carefully crafted fruit carvings create perfect centerpieces for her mouthwatering recipes.
"Avocados are delicious, healthy, and very photogenic!" Colette told Bored Panda. "I always enjoyed avocados but I think during my pregnancy I started eating them a little bit more. I like to inspire people for home-cooked meals - make their food a little bit prettier with not too much effort. Right now I’m really enjoying the #avocadobun but I also love to use avocado (as a dairy substitute) in brownies or power-balls!" Her Instagram account has over 73k followers and she's even released a book titled - you guessed it - Avocado. Take a look at some of her beautiful artworks in the pictures below.

I wonder why this pic received less votes than the above one as this is the same one at a different angle. LOL
Maybe people saw that one first, and didn't want to upvote the same avocado artwork twice :)

Colette has a great eye for visual presentation. I'm getting hungry!
This looks so delicious. Avocado, chili, lime, so many flavours... and the nachos. I'm so hungry now :(
I hate to be the bearer of bad news ... I have a home in the Yucatan, Mexico. The past year or so I have seen many news articles in Mexican papers about the high cost of avocados and how the farmers are clear cutting the forests to plan avocado trees because of how much they can get for them.
these are making me hungry for avocado but i don't want to ruin the art.
well people will not eat after their take a lot of this beautiful and delicious food
