I had some fun with salt dough recently and made up a few different faux food pieces.

After using salt dough to create my food items and letting it dry, I used acrylic paint (Folk Art brand in cinnamon) to add some color. Just mix a few drops of paint with some water and then brush the liquid over your salt dough pieces. It may take a few coats to get the color that you like, that's ok. The important thing is to make sure that your dough has completely dried again before decorating.
You can find my salt dough recipe and drying tips here.
Here is what I made up:
Some mini tarts, a handful of biscuits and a whole lot of cookies!
The tarts I shaped by using a mini tin coated with a lot of flour so that the dough could pop back out. The biscuits I shaped by hand and the cookies were cut out with a basic cookie cutter. I also filled up a glass pie plate with dough so it looks like a pie crust. I didn't get a photo of that in process, but this post shows faux pie making step-by-step.
And here is how I decorated them:
The mini tarts I topped with light weight spackle applied with an icing bag and tip and then embellished with faux berries
The biscuits I left as they were and placed them in a bowl in my bakery closet.
The cookies went into this vintage Pillsbury cookie jar that I found for $1 and then also joined the bakery closet.
The pie shell I filled with light weight spackle and then topped with plastic berries. The 'berries' are actually faux grapes, but taken from the stem I thought they looked berry enough 😄 Once I had all of the berries in place I added a few more dollops of spackle, aging using an icing bag and tip.
And there you have my salt dough fun!
