2/1/15: Italian artist and photographer Massimo Gammacurta has managed to make Sans Serif new again. He’s sculpted the alphabet in hard candy, and the effect is gorgeous. The pieces look like they are created from colored glass. They incorporate beautiful ombre colors, bubbles, and drips, and they are photographed on a plain white background without any distractions. The overall effect is really lovely. I want to play with them all.  Below are a few of my faves.

I can remember singing this in the schoolyard as a kid, but I never knew it was a Three Stooges thing until now!

For adults only: Massimo has also explored some less-than-R-rated shapes in sugar as well in his KarmaSugar series.
