Creating intricate designs out of icing made from powdered sugar, egg whites, and dyes, icing cookie artists continue to gain popularity in Japan and elsewhere. In particular, artists who make cute and elaborate three-dimensional creations have found themselves in the spotlight.

Cucumber-san's icing cookie art

On her YouTube channel, "Cucumber's Cookies," Cucumber-san shows videos of her creative process.

This one shows how she takes numerous separately-built three-dimensional objects and combines them together in one showcase piece.

You guessed it. It's a picnic, recreated in icing cookies!

If you weren't watching the process from the beginning, you'd think they were miniatures from a dollhouse. You wouldn't think any of them were edible!

In this one, Cucumber-san puts her skills to use to create a bento lunchbox that looks just like the real thing but in miniature size! See for yourself:

It's a small but delicious-looking bento lunch.

The finished product is so small that your fingers would like like a giant when you tried picking it up!

Complete with rice and a pickled plum, a tasty-looking grilled salmon, a shiso leaf, sausages with diagonal decorative cuts, little omelet rolls, cherry tomatoes and salad, it looks so tempting. Even the box is carefully crafted and looks just like a bento box. It's hard to believe everything is made of cookies!
