artist's palette & paintbrush cookies

We're aware it might look like we've filed this in the wrong category, but bear with us for a second and have a closer look. That glistening set of paintbrushes and palettes to the left hasn't come straight from an artist's studio, but a piping hot oven. Yep, it's 100% EDIBLE. With a little (read: LOT) of patience and a plenty of cookie dough and fondant, the baking aficionado over at the Sweetapolita blog has created a paint-splattered spread ready to shovel in your gob. If you're feeling creative, perhaps use your lazy Saturday to attempt this work of art, with some help from the step-by-step recipe here.
