Can't get enough of Benedict? Or was il papa not your taste? You might try this curiosity--a pope made out of pizza dough. Prudence Emma Staite is a British (did I have to add that?) experimental food artist (don't ask me) who recently exhibited various Roman icons made out of pizza crust. As the Daily Mail explains, she used a third of a ton of dough to make Benedict XVI (or something pope-like) as well as the Coliseum and the Spanish Steps. Apparently, Prudence has also created many chocolate paintings and sculptures along with edible life-size rooms and jewelry.
