In the fall of 2021 my husband delivered breakfast to the table with a twist. Instead of the usual slice of toasted bread with butter, cream cheese, or peanut butter (I love peanut butter toast) he cut my slices into smaller pieces and arranged them. His toast sculpture project was born.
He crafted simple and complex designs. He cut, leaned, and stacked pieces of bread. He locked pieces together with each other or with toothpicks.
Shout out to the inventor of the Toastmaster Toaster we use today, Charles P. Strite (above, illustration). Without his flash of brilliance we would eat a flat and uninspired breakfast. Below, drawings of a few of the morning toast sculptures by my husband. I added hand lettering to emphasize my experience.
