Harley Langberg, a Midtown Manhattan resident and self-described "food artist," innovatively transforms everyday ingredients into extraordinary food sculptures. His journey began in 2014 after discovering edible art at an exhibit, inspiring him to create masterpieces like a bacon-maned Mufasa and an interpretation of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" with pasta. Over 11 years, Langberg has developed a significant following on Instagram and has been featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not. Unlike the viral 'is it cake' trend, he specializes in savory concoctions using unique ingredients, reflecting a deep passion for culinary creativity.
"I have my plate and then just go right to work," Langberg, of Midtown, told The Post.
The pieces were rudimentary and simple, Langberg recalled, saying the gallery was likely meant for children, but something about an owl made entirely out of apples and bread fired him up.
I look back now and it was so bad! At the time, I thought it was good, now I look back and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I made that,' Langberg laughed.
