Have you recovered from Thursday’s food coma yet? No? Maybe these tempting foody treats will help you get your appetite back….

Sweets
Shopping info for Sweets:
(1) Candy Apples from Niki D – the listing is for 12, so you can have a few for yourself and some for your friends too.
(2) Cookie Dough Truffles from A Sugar Affair – genius! Cookie dough covered in chocolate = irresistable. And, the dough is egg-free so no risk of salmonella.
(3) Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Ring by Dirt Road South – this slice of cake looks good enough to eat, but is actually a ring.
(4) Homemade Caramel Sauce by Niki D – add a little of this to some hot spiced apple cider. Trust me, it’s good.
On a diet? No problem, I found some fantastic zero-calorie food-themed treats too!

Looks Good Enough to Eat
Shopping info for Looks Good Enough to Eat:
(1) Coffee Necklace by Dirt Road South
(2) Felt Bowl by Valerie’s Gallery – no, it doesn’t come with the apples, but what a gorgeous gift it would make for someone if you fill it with some seasonal fruit.
(3) Sharing Photo Print by LJ Design Photo – a sweet image of a small hand offering a taste of fresh raspberries.
(4) Cilantro Necklace by Hightower Botanicals – a beautiful silver necklace in the image of cilantro, the herb that flavors so many delicious Mexican dishes.
Would you believe I found more items searching etsy for “cupcakes” than “food”? These items all feature the image of cupcakes, but zero calories!

Cupcakes
Shopping info for Cupcakes:
(1) Cupcake Cards by Cruz Chic 4 Crafts
(2) Cupcake Magnets by Melanie’s Crafts
(3) Cupcake Crayon Roll (Personalized!) by Retro Rugrats
(4) Cupcake Illustration (Print) by Elegant Snobbery
(5) Cupcake Gift Tags from Pink Patrice – great to add to your gift wrap collection!
These items are all inspired by food, and I love the results:

Food as Art
Shopping info for Food as Art:
(1) Fried Egg Earrings by Isuezabo – the egg part is enamel, I think this design is so clever.
(2) Licorice Allsorts Earrings by Erika Price If pink isn’t your color, she’s got more – just search “allsorts” in her shop to see more yummy licorice-inspired jewelry.
(3) Citrus Polymer Clay Canes by Clay Chick These are for the bead or jewelry maker in your life – slice the canes and drill them for beautiful citrus beads that look good enough to eat.
(4) Pomegranate Photo by Allie Art for Children
(5) Swiss Cheese Scarf by Fiber Puppy Luckily not actually made with swiss cheese, this felted scarf looks cozy and perfect for the cold weather.
And, for the beer lover in your life, something a little different:

Beer Quilte
The beer quilt, show in camo, by Pandy’s. It’s like a tea cozy, only for beer!
