I remember trying to come up with a similar project in early high school around the same period as when I came up with a 3d calendar (probably just as good an idea as these t-shirts with calendars on them that I saw for sale in Japan) and place mats with illustrations of tea cups in unhappy situations (one showed a bird's eye view of a tea pot looking over the edge of a table at the shattered tea cups that it had just pushed off). I shaped dough into a soup spoon and baked it until it was really tough. It didn't really work out as it absorbed water more than held it and tasted horrible. This one seems edible if not delicious.
