ExeSandbox Posted December 14, 2018 While not much of a foodie myself, I really love the idea of building food with LEGO bricks. This is my first (official) attempt at making food with bricks! Some waffles topped with butter and berries, drizzled with some maple syrup. The poor glass of milk is out of focus. I would really love some feedback on this. Do you think the maple syrup looks okay? Should the plate be square instead of circle to avoid the jagged edges? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny1360 Posted December 14, 2018 I think it looks delicious, very creative. Ha scale model of waffles, love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darnok Posted December 14, 2018 So I knew I was in for a Lego model, but at first sight I immediately asked myself: "why is half of it with real berries and stuff?" I then got a friend to look at the picture unprepared, and she could not believe it was Lego at all when I told her - at least for a moment. WOW! Expertly done, and looking so yummy! The photography is perfect as well, the out-of-focus milk glass is just right. Brilliant! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kristel Posted December 14, 2018 Looks great, especially the raspberries and the shape of the waffles! 8 hours ago, ExeSandbox said: I would really love some feedback on this. Do you think the maple syrup looks okay? Should the plate be square instead of circle to avoid the jagged edges? I think the maple syrup works quite well as it is. On the plate, you could try building the plate with the bricks on their side, which would allow you to use roof slopes and curved slopes to get a more rounded look.

Pdaitabird Posted December 14, 2018 I was aghast at the thought that you had poured syrup on your MOC, until I spotted the studs on the puddle! Excellent model! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reaper Posted December 14, 2018 Nice! I like the use of the afro hair pieces! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoModularFan Posted December 15, 2018 Wow, this looks so delicious, it makes me feel hungry... The waffles are shaped up greatly, the berries look very realistic and the way the syrup flows is very convincing as the rendering! About the plate, I agree with @Kristel...

That's a good idea, I'll definitely try that for my next one 12 hours ago, Drunknok said: So I knew I was in for a Lego model, but at first sight I immediately asked myself: "why is half of it with real berries and stuff?"

I do think a square plate would be better indeed, since it would be much smoother, just like the waffles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted December 19, 2018 I think the maple suryp works well. It looks like the real thing. what pieces did you use to make the waffles? overall, great MOC well executed. Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the waffles, I just used a variety of sloped bricks, regular 1 stud wide bricks, with some plates and tiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted December 19, 2018 This is a great build, very clever. I love the idea, and the execution is very realistic. The photography makes it look like a real menu item at a diner. Now I'm hungry. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W Navarre Posted December 19, 2018 Wow, the syrup is very clever, I wouldn't have expected that color to be used but it looks perfect! Altogether great work, the waffles are very real looking, the only thing I might have done different is the syrup poured from out of the picture. Maybe better take away the antenna piece and just leave it so it's already been poured, other than that I don't see much to improve, although of course it would be wished as you said that the plate could be more round.
