Disclaimer: many of these use pre-made food items because sometimes it's easier, quicker, and smarter, to use something that's already done. Most of them were purchased from Barnard Ltd, which is now Display Fake Foods. All of these were made for School For Lies at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre in 2013. Throwback!
Cucumber and Cream Cheese
For these I took some bought cuc slices, some white acrylic caulk and sprinkled some moss pieces on top for a garnish.
Bread and Cheese Pinwheels
These very simple pinwheels are two layers of fun foam for each color glued together and then cut into strips. I then used spray glue to roll them up, and coated them with a bit of Scuplt or Coat for gloss and minimal texture. They're topped off with some found plant bits for garnish.
Shrimp on Toast
We found these shrimps in stock, so I couldn't tell you much about them, but they were probably resin and very hard. I did make the toast, though. It was just a hunk of bead foam, shaped into a small baguette shape, and then sliced. I used acrylic paint straight onto the foam (cringe), and hot glued the shrimp to them. The tomatoes are beads that I filled the holes with some hot glue and painted red. They're also hot glued on, as well as the tiny green leaf garnish.
