5 Years Ago, I Started Turning My Son’s Healthy Meals Into Cartoon Characters, Here Are 28 Of My New Mouth-Watering Creations

My name is Laleh, I have a son, Jacob, and a daughter, Charlie. Sometimes we like to turn our healthy meals into art pieces!

In May 2015, I started turning my son’s meals into characters for a bit of fun. Within a month, our creations went viral allowing this fun hobby to turn into a career!

Some of the meals are made to be eaten, others commissioned, and others made as art pieces. They are made from scratch and dyed using only natural ingredients! We love to use fresh, healthy products, and no refined sugar or preservatives.
