Fruit Fans

If you love waffles, you’re going to love these rainbow waffles! You need to make them just like regular waffles except that you should divide the batter into batches and then add different food colorings to all the sections. And then add squirts from all the different batches into your waffle maker. Alternatively, you could also try this with pancake batter to make rainbow pancakes. Either way, we guarantee that these rainbow waffles or pancakes will look as good as they taste!
Marshmallow Snowman
There’s something inherently cute about marshmallows, but you can make them even cuter with this food craft. Just take a piece of licorice to join two marshmallows together and add arms and legs. We promise it’ll turn out absolutely adorable!

Sugar cookies can be made into all sorts of shapes and colors and decorated with frosting to make different characters. Plus, they require limited ingredients which you’ll probably already have at home. So, if you’re looking for a food craft to try, then this is probably the one.
Marshmallow Paint
If edible paint sounds like a good idea, then you absolutely need to make marshmallow paint. Because honestly, your food décor options are essentially endless with edible paint. All you need to do is to melt your marshmallows and add in food coloring – and there you have your own edible paint which you can use on cakes, cupcakes, pancakes, rice crispies, brownies – you name it!
Rainbow Pasta
We just can’t get enough of rainbow food crafts which is why rainbow pasta is the next craft idea on our list. You can divide your pasta into batches and dye them all different colors. And then mix them up at the end to create rainbow pasta. But since it’s not a lot of extra effort, we definitely recommend that you try making this.
Apple Donuts
To make apple donuts, you should cut up your apples in circular, donut shapes with a hole in the center. Then add frosting and sprinkles to complete the donut look. Not to mention, apple donuts are so much healthier than regular donuts. And thus, you absolutely need to give this a try!

Emoji Pizzas
Mini pizzas are great but have you tried emoji pizzas?

So, if you have a thing for cooking or baking, this food craft definitely needs to be your next project!

They genuinely look amazing and you should definitely give it a try. In fact, you can even make edible paint from marshmallows and then dip them in that same paint. It’s colorful and fun – and even kids would have a blast making these. Plus, since it can help improve their motor skills, you should definitely involve them as well.
Unicorn Popcorn
Everyone loves unicorns, right?
