Food as Art: Spotlight on Sandy Patangay

I met Sandy Patangay a year ago after I stumbled upon her website, here, during a frantic search for a  henna artist for my wedding mehendi party. She was friendly, professional and incredibly talented. I was stunned at her intricate free style designs and eagerly booked her for my wedding. My friends and family were delighted with her and, eight months later, still comment on the beauty of her work.

So, you can only imagine my surprise and utter excitement when I heard that she'd decided to push the limits of her artistry to an edible canvas. There is at least one person who is eagerly awaiting the day she starts selling these (almost!) too-beautiful-to-eat exquisite creations.
