I am a long time fan of Carl Warner and I've already spoken about his creations in the following posts:
If you don't know him yet he is the ingenious inventor of the "foodscapes", kind of landscapes made up just with food!
His last creation is no less than the London's skyline! That means that him and his assistants have recreated all the iconic buildings of the english capital city: St Paul's cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Nelson's column, the Gherkin building, the Embankment, the Big Ben and the Tower of London!
The big feat has been commissioned by the Good Food Channel and it took photographer Carl Warner and his team three weeks.
The edible versione of London has been recreated out of 26 different types of fruit and vegetables ranging from green beans to kumquats.
Looking at the details is always the best way to admire Warner's works:

If you are interested in the "ingredients" of the skyline read the following list and than take a look to the backstage video at the bottom of the post:
The face of BIG BEN is through slices of lemon while THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT is created with a mix of asparagus, green and runner beans subtly mixed with baby sweetcorn to depict the intricate stonework of the political landmark.
THE LONDON EYE has green beans as spokes and its pods carefully crafted out of baby plum tomatoes and the GHERKIN is manufactured from two types of melon and embedded with green beans - we can't help but think they missed a trick there.
NELSON'S COLUMN is made from a cucumber with baby courgettes and a carrot teamed with a monkey nut and almond while ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL has been given a modern day food makeover, with the spire being created from roundels of carrot, yellow and green courgette and baby leeks. The famous dome designed by Christopher Wren in the 17th century, has been transformed through the use of a melon, while the impressive columns have been crafted out of baby sweetcorn.
TOWER BRIDGE has pineapple piers with celery and shredded wheat towers and the TOWER OF LONDON is comprised of a selection of breadsticks and spelt crackers while the intricate brickwork has been constructed from mini shredded wheat.
THE EMBANKMENT is depicted through panini encrusted walls, punctuated by the iconic Thameside lampposts which are constructed by onions wrapped in vanilla pods for the lamps, asparagus for the posts and mackerel for the ornate fish plinths.
