Would you like a slice of cake? It's made out of plastic! April Fool's! In honor of the day of jokes, hoaxes and pranks, I've compiled a little list of where to get and how to make fake foods:
Brownie Point Blog has the most amazing tutorial on how to make edible fake sushi - salmon nigiri with Rice Krispie treat rice and dried cantelope salmon, shrimp made of hand-painted homemade marshmallow. Seriously realistic-looking, seriously cool.
Leelee's Creations offers hundreds of high-quality fake foods - fake fried chicken dinner, scented plastic cinammon rolls, Popsicles made out of soap, a $185 three-tiered faux wedding cake.
Fake Foods sells just what the name suggests - fake wedges of Swiss cheese, plastic kale leaves, an entire 16-inch "Vegetable Party Tray."
At Jerri Blank's website, funny lady Amy Sedaris shows you how to make a fake chocolate-frosted cake (spackle, plaster of Paris and a hat box)
Check out Craft Gossip for a tutorial on food-shaped candles - a fruit salad candle, a hot fudge sundae candle, etc.
Any other great faux food sites out there?
