For #MosaicMonday, more Roman / Byzantine food art! A thing I have been working on (but which is not finished yet) - a replica of the mosaic portrait of Theodora from San Vitale in Ravenna, but made out of tesserae I made out of fondant! On edible wafer paper.

Photo of a sheet of edible wafer paper, with lots of little tesserae cut of out different colors of fondant icing, to look like the mosaic portrait of Theodora (who is wearing an elaborate headdress)
