Vivi Mac, an amazing artist from France, can use nearly any kind of food to create detailed celebrity portraits(名人肖像).Although she has yet to display her short-lived work of arts in a proper art gallery, Vivi Mac has already made a name for herself online.

Just how she manages to capture the finest facial features is still a mistery to me, and I've seen videos of her doing it many times,
