I know I've been posting a whole lot of fake bake projects in the past few months, but I promise I've been up to other things too! With summer wrapping up I'm trying to share a few more fake bake crafts before transitioning into holidays and various other projects...would you believe that I have draft posts for all the way into April?!?! Crazy!
Anyway, let me show you how I made the faux strawberry shortcakes from the photo above:

I started with these small foam rounds that I picked up at Dollar Tree in their floral section. They are great because they can be used to for all kinds of floral arrangements and crafts. I've even seen some artists use them inside of cupcake liners to create larger faux cupcakes.

I painted my foam pieces in pink, yellow and chocolate so that they would look like freshly baked sponge cakes...
...and then used light weight joint compound in an icing bag to add faux cream to the tops.
A bit of red acrylic paint drizzled on the tops served as strawberry sauce...
...and lastly I topped them with an artificial strawberry.
(You can find these strawberries here)
Side Note: See the bronze colored mat that my cakes are sitting on? It's a non-stick grilling mat designed to sit between your grill and the food that you are cooking. Once your food is prepared any mess slips right off of the mat for easy clean up, without junking up your grill's surface. Well guess what? Paint and glue and all kinds of other crafting supplies clear right off them too 😉
I was using parchment paper (that had to be tossed after nearly every project) until I came across these on clearance and decided to give them a try. I love them!
(You can find similar mats here. Just make sure you have separate sets for crafting and cooking)
And there you have it, easy to make faux strawberry shortcake decor!
Like the cake plate?
You can see how I turned an ordinary glass stand into a stylish white one in this post.
