We're always being told not to play with our food.
大人们经常教育我们不要玩弄自己的食物。

However, one woman proved that it might not be a such a bad idea, after she discovered how to make elaborate artwork out of Rice Krispies.
然而，美国的一名女学生却向我们证明：和食物玩耍或许并不是个坏主意。前不久，她刚刚探索出了如何用米花糖做出精致的“艺术品”。

Jessica Siskin, from New York, began experimenting with the cereal three years ago and has since created everything from emojis to Kim Kardashian's famous behind.
来自纽约的杰西卡•西丝从三年前就开始用麦片进行各种实验了，如今，她已经可以用米花糖做出任何图案——从简单的emoji表情到卡戴珊那著名的臀部，（只是吃的时候不要加牛奶哦~）

She now sells the tasty treats under the name of Misterkrisp.
她现在经营着一家名叫米斯特的米花糖店，来出售她那些可口的小吃。

Ms Siskin first came up with the idea in 2013 when she was invited to a friend's bring-a-dish birthday dinner. However, unable to cook anything apart from heart-shaped Rice Krispie treats, the student decided to get creative and made her friend a surfboard out of the cereal.
西丝首次萌生出做“创意米花糖”的这个念头是在2013年，当时她受邀参加一个朋友的生日派对，这个派对要求每人带上一份自己亲手做的菜肴。然而西丝当时除了心形的米花糖之外什么也不会做，于是她决定给自己的糖加点创意，用米花糖给朋友做了一只冲浪板。

And she was so proud of her work that she tried out even more daring designs.
她现在对自己的作品很自豪，并且打算尝试一些更加大胆的设计。

Speaking on her website, Ms Siskin, said: 'When I realized that food coloring could be added to the side-of-the-box recipe, I felt an immediate and overwhelming impulse to make a Rice Krispies Treats cheeseburger.
西丝在其个人网站上说：“当我发现可以将食用色素加到食谱中时，我立刻产生一种强烈的冲动，想把米花糖做成芝士汉堡。”

'I'm weird like that. When I put all of the pieces together I screamed out loud - it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. None of my neighbors came to check on me.
她说：“我是个有些怪异人，当我把米花糖的各个部分拼在一起时会大声尖叫，——因为那是我所见过的最酷的事情了，对此，我的邻居们都已经习以为常了。”

'I brought my creation to work the next day, where people freaked out before devouring it; I posted a photo of my creation on Instagram, where my ex liked it and I freaked out.
次日，我会将作品带到店里，人们一开始都会吓一跳，之后便将其一口吞下；我将作品的照片上传到ins上，我的前男友在那里评论说很喜欢它，这让我受宠若惊。

'I continued to experiment with Rice Krispies Treats recipes, techniques, and designs until Misterkrisp was born in October 2013.'
我不断地对米花糖的食谱，工艺，以及设计进行实验，最终，在2013年10月，米斯特米花店终于开业。

Each treat typically takes between 40 minutes and two hours to make.
制作一件米花糖往往要花费40分钟到2个小时。

And she has since made a booming business, with her DIY Emoji Krispkit selling at $51 (£36) alone.
她的emoji表情包的售价为每个50美元，生意蒸蒸日上~

While she doesn't list prices for most of the items pictured on her Instagram account, she includes an email address where customers can place orders and request more information.
尽管她并没有将大多数作品的价格传到ins上，但她留下了邮箱地址以便顾客下单或咨询。

Ms Siskin told the fashion site Bib and Tuck that her favourite Krisps are those masquerading as other foods.
西丝在接受一个名为“Bib and Tuck”的时尚网站采访时表示：她最喜欢的是做成其他食物样子的米花糖。

She also enjoyed recreating Olaf, the snowman from Frozen.
她也热衷于再现动画片“冰雪奇缘”中的雪人奥拉夫的形象。

'I'm consistently inspired by pop culture and always trying to think of quirkier ways to address the zeitgeist in Krisp form,' she said.
她说：“我不断地从流行文化中获取灵感并总是试着想出更加离奇古怪的方法来用米花糖诠释我们的时代精神。”

Ms Siskin is also a creative writing student.
西丝还是一名研究创意写作学的学生。
