These two are from GiddyGastronome.
The first is a lasagna made in a 7" round springform pan.
(Giddy actually makes hers with won ton layers)
Once it's cooked you remove it from the pan,
cut cheese slices into squares, stick them on in a
checkerboard pattern, put it back in the oven for 5 minutes
(to make it melt and stick to the sides better),
and garnish with deep green herb leaves like basil.

The second one is a coconut cream cheesecake.

[Zhizara]

Pretty AND tasty. Yum.

The nice thing about her old website is
that you can click n the pics to get the recipes.
(there is a link to her new website there
which is www.giddygastronome.com

Below are some more of her creations...

1. Raspberry Tiramisu
2. Berry Fondant
3. "Pear" filled with beets
(Pears are really mashed potatoes
with a piece of spaghetti for stem)
4. Strawberry Tiramisu

This is a Pandan Rice Cake - photo credit goes to D.Schmidt.
Schmidt is probably not the creator though since it's of Thai origin.
If you google "pandan rice cake recipe" you will see a recipe for it.
PM me if you can't find it.

The cocktail is of unknown origin.

It's very clever with the gingerbread man! I never see those kinds of possibilities. Love them, MA.

... And a Berry Merry Christmas

 

[Zhizara]

Very clever! I can't get over the kiwi strawberries, and the eyes and nose on the mice - separate berries (pips?) from a blackberry?

 

[mollyanne]

I think the noses are miniature chocolate chips
but i can't figure out what was used for the eyes either.
I'll try to find out.
