Shay Aaron Makes The Most Delectable Miniatures Of All Time (PHOTOS)

Shay Aaron makes miniature replicas of edible treats that are so darn cute we could just eat them up. The Israeli sculptor makes mouthwatering models of everything from lobster to strawberry shortcake to eggs sunny-side up. You can buy them, wear them, collect them or coddle them creepily like they are your children; just check out his Etsy store if you're in need of some macaron cuff links. Our one complaint? The portions are kind of small.

Check out Aaron's adorable, edible miniatures in this slideshow below, and let us know what you think of these tiny creations in the comments section.

The world of dollhouse miniatures is jaw-droppingly awesome. Outstanding craftsmen in furniture and food. Once you're in, you're hooked. : )

My dollhouse needs a bigger kitchen to hold these little treats.

Shay's work is meticulously crafted from polymer. He teaches his craft internationally. Great to see him and the medium featured on Huffington Post! Want to see more amazing polymer: www.kathleendustin.com www.fordforlano.com www.lindlyhaunani.com

Beautiful stuff, marzipan and gum paste maybe ? My hands shake too much from coffee to ever attempt it. Very nice stuff.

Amazing. The control he must have with his hands to be so sure and steady must be as inspiring to watch as the end result. I can't imagine not shaking or twitching at some inopportune point and having to start over again. I love miniatures but I certainly don't have the patience to try my hand at them, or the ability. But that goes without saying.
