Christopher Boffoli takes playing with your food to a whole new level. 

The Seattle based photographer is the mastermind behind "Big Appetites," a photo series and book that combines miniature human figures with foods to create life-like scenes.

From a man pushing a snowblower through piles of powdered donuts to a family camping trip under a broccoli forrest, Boffoli's photos are both whimsical and delicious.

"The headspace that the sugar cone tent afforded didn't really make up for its lack of performance in the rain," writes Boffoli.
