Bompas & Parr

I have wanted to write about Bompas & Parr since they stole my heart away in a New York Times article earlier this summer. In addition to being cute as hell, this English team devises such wonderful tricks with their culinary treats that you wonder where Mother got her crazy idea about not playing with your food.  She was clearly missing out on all the fun.

On a mission to ressurect Jell-o from the abyss of long-forgotten novelty fare (marshmallow fluff anyone?) this two-man team has pushed the jiggly dessert to its furthest limits. From painstakingly rendered architectural models to color-coordinated, multi-tiered displays, they have elevated it from forgotten food to an attention-grabbing work of art. One you can not only touch but also consume and–with flavors like Elderflower Jelly with Strawberries and, Courvosier and Blackcurrant Jelly–you’ll be more than excited to do so.
