There are some dishes that look so much like works of art, you might question whether or not they're actually edible. That's what you may think when you're swooning over all the photos of food at Epcot's International Festival of the Arts. According to Disney Parks Blog, the annual festival, which is held at Disney's Epcot, honors different forms of artwork from visual to performance. The culinary art is truly something you need to see to believe.

Guests can sip and savor different dishes from various booths while exploring the World Showcase. You'll want to start taking notes for a must-eat list of everything you want to try the next time you head to Disney World. Though, you'll want to book your ticket ASAP, because the International Festival of the Arts runs now to Feb. 24. In between eating, you can also enjoy Disney on Broadway performances daily in the American Pavilion, and meet some of your favorite Disney artists.

But, let's be honest: When there are so many delicious things to eat, that's all your hungry eyes will want to focus on. Just remember to take a ton of photos first to post on Instagram, so you can remember the masterpieces before enjoying all the delicious flavors.

Not only is this cake absolutely stunning, but its layers of raspberry jam and Belgian chocolate in between almond cake are also delicious.
