Meet the Bournemouth-based food sculptor behind creations that are (almost) too pretty too eat. 

Hungarian born Szimonetta Zombori has carved an international award-winning career as an artist.

After training as a stone-sculptor, she then discovered a love for carving different foods including doughnuts watermelon, cheese and pumpkins.

With International Doughnut Day approaching on June 4, she has shared photos of her most popular doughnut creations. 

Bournemouth Echo:

The donuts are hand-painted using edible paints and decorated with 3D chocolate figures. 

And for those who can't choose between flowers and doughnuts, there's even a unique 'Donut Bouquet'. 

Szimonetta said: "I have truly found my passion in life, food carving. I always thought my dream was to be a professional artist, sculptor or maybe a painter who got a workshop at home.

"It seemed like an appropriate dream given my professional stone sculptor qualification. I yearned to learn more and more, and do something a bit different. And that’s when it happened, the spark I was missing ignited.

Bournemouth Echo:

"Since then, I could not get enough. So Rosegold and Grey artisan gifting was born. This is something that people can’t find on the high street or anywhere else.

"To buy similar handmade chocolate bars they have to fly to Russia or Amsterdam, but the style and quality won’t be the same because the original from Rosegold and Grey."
