A follow up to last week's light apps, I have some more!
Disclaimer: as with last week, 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!

Tomato and Cheese on Crackers
If I recall, these 'crackers' are actually fake wafer cookies, cut in half with texture added to the ends to look crumbly. The cheese is white acrylic caulk. The tomatoes are foam marshmallows, sliced and painted red, with a bit of yellow and orange detail painting for seeds. They are topped with some plant bits for garnish. (You may notice it's my go to. Plant bits make great garnishes!!)
Watermelon and Cream Cheese
These little cubes are just insulation foam, coated with Sculpt or Coat and painted with acrylic paints. The cream cheese is tiny styrofoam balls cut in half, and also covered in Sculpt or Coat with some white paint and stuck on top of the cubes. And yes, that is a little grass blade for garnish. (Every time I see this picture I wonder what watermelon cubes with cream cheese balls would actually taste like... If you have experience with it, please let me know how they are.)
Fish Cups on Crackers
Though I think these would be 100% disgusting, they are pretty cute. We bought the crackers and I made the cups out of Wonderflex scraps and painted them with acrylics. The cheese balls are more of the same styro balls from above, covered in acrylic caulk and glued into the cups. The cups are hot glued on, and as expected, the garnish is some plant bits glued on.
