At first glance at Liz Joy’s @inspiraredtotaste Instagram page, you might think she creates miniature items and figurines. You wouldn’t be wrong, but there is one detail: they are all edible.
Many bakers have taken to IG with captivating dessert artwork and lots of attention to detail, but Joy, an award-winning “dessert designer,” really takes things to the next level. From fashion creations to attention-grabbing creations for high-profile companies, Joy truly brings us joy. And it makes us want to eat lots of cookies.
Based in Los Angeles, Joy creates custom edible art for famous brands like Sephora, Forbes, Christian Louboutin, and Urban Decay. Our favorite thing about this artist is how accessible she makes her art beautiful and glamorous.
She has cookie decorating kits like this one, which allow you to create glamorous makeup faces on your cookie. Her inspiration was makeup face charts where makeup artists experiment with styles and applications, but you can eat them afterwards!
He got the texture of the clothing just right, right down to the wrinkled folds of the scarf. The set was inspired by Chloe’s pieces that were on Joy’s wish list, as she wanted them immediately and decided to bake a cookie version with royal icing and fondants. We’d wear this outfit, but eating it sounds more affordable.
Yes, she also does edible interior design. The creativity of this queen is insane! She calls it the “cookie room” ad; We are already in love with the color style and aesthetic, especially that abstract art! Commenters on the post ask, “When can we move?”
She also has tons of online resources and tools to help you bake like her (okay, maybe not that amazing), like dress-shaped cookie cutters (and DIY kits that include them) and fondant decorating tool sets.
The best part? She offers online classes and workshops along with these tools called “Inspired to Taste Academy,” so you don’t panic when trying that next Pinterest project.
This gorgeous lingerie set (how do you get those perfect folds?) was inspired by Princess Aurora from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. In collaboration with @milkandcookiesco, Liz decided to create lingerie cookies inspired by Disney princesses. Um… can someone create this in real life so we can buy it immediately?
When you can’t afford Fendi accessories, you bake them and wait for them to come true. Honestly, we’re not ashamed to wear dessert on our faces because the clean details of these cat-eye glasses make us swoon. And while we’re at it, we’d totally rock that micro-purse on our pinky!
She did this look for the Project Runway-inspired show Making The Cut. This cool tuxedo power move was inspired by contestant Esther’s rock-chic aesthetic, who Liz Joy is obsessed with. After seeing the actual version on the last slide, we can’t decide which we like better, the edible or the wearable creation.
And cookies aren’t the only thing Liz has up her sleeve—she can also make you escape into one of her worlds with cakes. These cakes feature fully ornate flat scenes that look like a painting, like this Peter Pan cookie dough cake depicting Wendy. It tastes as good as it looks, with blueberry filling on a lemon-almond crust.
We can confidently say we’ve never been inspired by cookies, but this rendition of a Ralph Lauren dress paired with Gianvito Rossi boots makes us wish COVID-19 was over so we could finally go back to looking chic and stylish. elegant. .
When it’s cold out, the perfect way to bundle up is with a cozy crocheted beanie. Well… at least in cookie form. Here, she was practicing piping knit textures and shading techniques. The ombre wasn’t as visible as she wanted, but we still think it’s pretty amazing!
For her Access Hollywood appearance, Joy had the chance to make cookie versions of celebrities like Mario Lopez and Scott Evans. The Mario cookie is covered in white chocolate marshmallow fondant, with royal icing for that fabulously detailed hair.
