Instagram user @vineyardbaker even created a series of focaccia gardens inspired by the famous painter Vincent van Gogh, and titled her breads as 'Van Dough'. This led many other followers making their own versions of 'Van Dough' pieces of art, which soon became viral in the food community.

Green chilli, thyme, coriander are used to make stems; spinach, parsley make for the perfect leaves; and foods like olives, sun-dried tomatoes and onions rings can be transformed into colourful flowers. We even noticed some bakers using mushrooms and grated carrots to take place of shrubs/plants, and grated cheese being thrown in to show sand and dust, to round off the garden landscape.
