Colonial Williamsburg has unbelievable fake food. Tanya Wilson, assistant curator of historic interiors, creates wonderful food by creating silicon shell around the a real piece of food which picks up all the intricate details then fills the shell with Plaster of Paris to create the fake item. Also, she uses wax for more translucent foods like vegtables. I am not an artistic person and at her workshop I was able to create really realistic and museum-safe fake food. Also there is an issue of Food History News Vol XIII No. III that gives some great information on creating fake food. It also inlcudes a whole list of companies that make fake food! ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
