World's first edible exhibition with posters good enough to eat by Rob Flowers and Bompas & Parr

According to the agency: "Kids have around 30,000 taste buds compared to adults. As a result, trying new foods can be an intense and sometimes unpleasant experience. But through play and experimentation, children are more likely to try different foods and accept them."

During a free workshop, over 100 children were given the chance to use their imagination and invent their ultimate food fantasies, with six winning designs then selected and turned into a delicious reality with the help of food wizards Bompas & Parr. From glow in the dark ice cream made from carrots to edible bubbles made from broccoli and cucumber, and a parsnip tornado to name but a few.

Rob Flowers helped to bring the Edible Exhibition to life with a series of posters and invitations that were also entirely edible and each with their own unique flavour. Every aspect of the printing process, from the edible paper to the multi-flavoured inks, was custom-made for the exhibition in collaboration with Bompas & Parr.

Bompas & Parr add: "For us at Bompas & Parr the kid’s creativity was a real goad to making healthy foods really compelling. We hope the project inspires countless others to hit the kitchen and create wonders for the tongue."
