Australia shaped pizza - how?

May 2nd, 2008, 6:16 pm

This might sound like a peculiar question but does anyone know how I might get an image of a pizza in the shape of Australia?

Perhaps one of the usual programs has a shaping feature ie mapping, follow path or something.

Just to clarify, I'm not referring to pasting as a mask but instead want it to look like the pizza has been baked in the shape of Australia, crust and all.

Thanks in advance.

Not to sound silly, but why not buy some pizza dough, roll it out and shape it into the shape of australia, put your toppings on, bake it and invite your friends. Take a picture of it when it's done before your friends arrive. You get your photo and a party at the same time. At least that's what I'd do.

Great! If you do this, I'll write up the recipe for the pizza I made

sounds like we have a deal.

Please bear with me on this. I have got very very limited time for the next day or so. Tomorrow i should be a bit more free, so i'll try and put something together for you then.

What about some of these?

Here is v2. It will require many more attempts, experimenting with various toppings etc before I'm satisfied with it and I'll no doubt put on weight in the process.

Is that a real pizza? LOL OMG that is so funny. Nice job either way. Only thing the picture looks a little funny. The colors look weird. It doesn't look very apetizing.

It is indeed a real pizza and I'm no expert. I didn't have much in the way of ingredients the oven is an electric fan-forced thing, not designed for creating the perfect pizza. It didn't help much using a camera phone to take the picture and I'm sure any photographer would wince at the lighting and exposure, etc, etc, etc. All these inhibiting parameters illustrate the reason why I was looking for a virtual version in the first place.

To be honest, other than the colouring i don't see anything wrong with that photo.

Getting back to the topic in hand, i'm sorry for not getting back to you on a tut. I've just been totally swamped this last week and a bit. I'm not sure when i'll have some good time left.

The links I posted didn't help? I using them to make a pizza with the silouhette of my wife. I would be done, but she keeps squirming and trying to eat the pepperoni!
