Moving clockwise, that's Pikachu from Pokémon, Umaru Doma from Himouto! Umaru-chan, and Yuki Takeya from School-Live! La Ricetta, a restaurant in Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, makes artistic pancakes that are so realistic that they look nearly photographic. Or, in these cases, animated. The restaurant specializes in anime characters, so order one of your favorite character and eat it--or frame it!
You can see videos on La Ricetta's twitter feed illustrating how its chefs compose these masterpieces. They draw the image in reverse with thin strands of batter, then fill in the interiors, frying at variable times in order to show contrast.
