Faux Food Storage & Display: Pies & Puddings

 Fake Food


Hello and welcome back for another faux food storage and display post!

Today I'm sharing my pie and pudding cabinet.  I have more than what's pictured here that are specific to holidays and seasons, but those I keep in my bakery storage when not in use.  These however are out all of the time and can be found in my dining room. 

Scroll on to see a photo of each shelf individually coupled with close-ups and descriptions:

(In case you missed it, here is a post with all of my faux ice cream, here is one featuring my bakery, here is one all about my fake cakes and here is one with my cookies.)

Now on to that pie & pudding cabinet- 


Fake Food

Here is the cabinet with the doors opened.  I found the cabinet at a thrift store and refinished it as my "pie safe".  You can read about the cabinet here or see the rest of the dining room  here.

On the very top of the cabinet is a faux cherry pie that I made out of salt dough.  I keep in in a glass cake dome to avoid dust gathering in the lattice crust.  

You can read a step-by-step tutorial of how I made this pie .

Top Shelf

On the top of the wire rack are a couple of food toys that I found at yard sales.  I thought they were cute so I stuck them in here 😁

The rest of the top shelf features pies and tarts that are all variations of salt dough with light weight joint compound used as filling/ whip cream.  Sometimes I mix in acrylic paint with my spackle to give it color, like with the strawberry pie.  Other times I use acrylic paint to drip over the top of my finished pieces, like with the cherry and strawberry tarts.

There are a lot of faux fruits on every shelf of this display, so I'll put all of their links here:

Again with the salt dough and spackle!  
The three large pies on this shelf can be found in that cherry pie post.  The tiny tarts are just salt dough in mini tins that I found at a yard sale and topped with spackle/ faux fruit.  A couple of the tarts I found already completed at a garage sale and are the ones without tins.  I think they are also salt dough, but coated in some sore of resin.

Both of the printables are from my Etsy shop.  The blueberry can be found here and the "happiness is homemade" here.

3rd Shelf

Not much difference here (salt dough & spackle) other than I included a couple of puddings.  The puddings are made by layering different colors of joint compound tinted with acrylic paint.  Check out this post for more details.

You can purchase the "fresh pies" printable here or the Boston Cream printable here.

The faux chocolates are more that I made by using up some oven bake clay.  I talked all about that in my faux cake post, if you want to check it out 😊

Bottom Shelf

The only difference on this shelf would be the jar of tarts which I made with clay in these molds before painting with acrylic and topping with spackle.  

The mini pumpkin pies are salt dough shells that I baked inside of tiny cake tins and filled with colored joint compound.  The cinnamon sprinkling is real and makes the cabinet smell great!

In order to get the nice coloring on the cranberry pie, I painted the salt dough base before hot gluing the berries in place.  The large pumpkin pie is another in which I painted afterward.  I wanted the spackle to be a darker color that it looked after just mixing the pant in, so when it dried I painted  over the top.

And there you have it, my faux pies & puddings!
