Fake Bake Modelite McMuffins and Sandwich

Faux Food Decor

I went through the drive through at breakfast and decided that I ought to make up some fake bake McMuffins and a small sandwich.  Here's how I did it:

For this project I used Modelite foam clay and the Wilton Winter cookie cutter set.  I liked the small size of the circle and really wanted to see how the hat shape would look as a slice of bread 😄



Faux Food Decor

Sometimes the Modelite can get stuck in the cookie cutters.  When this happens I take another small bit and stick it to the back of my shape.  Gently pull and the whole thing will come out.  You might have to clean up your shape a little, but it will be free of the cutter!  Another option, if you have the time, is to put the cutter into the freezer.  Once frozen your shape will be easy to remove.

Using a clay tool I added markings to look like a meat patty.

All of the McMuffin parts were from the round cutter, but for the sandwich I used both the round and the snowman's hat.  The round worked for the lunchmeat and the lettuce (I squished it out a little) while the hat made a cute slice of bread.

Once dry I painted the pieces with acrylic paint; Real Brown, Crisp Green, Golden Yellow, Lite Mocha and Cameo Pink.

And the sandwich I tucked in with my snack cabinet.  You can see the snack cabinet here or read about the stacked burger (also in picture) here.

And that's how I made my fake bake McMuffins and sandwich!

Fake Bake Stacked Burger

Fake Food Decor

I had an idea for a faux stacked burger and wanted to give it a try.  Here is how it turned out:

I kept things really simple and only used two cookie cutters to create all of my shapes with Crayola Model Magic.

For the burger patties I poked little holes all over the place using a Dollar Tree clay tool.

For the lettuce I cut the sides in jagged lines and then ran over the whole piece with a Wilton fondant tool.

Here is how the lettuce looked afterward.  I focused on the edges because that's what will be visible when constructed.



Fake Food Decor

Here are the shapes that I ended up with; square cheese, round smooth for the buns, round distressed for the patties, and round cut/ distressed for the lettuce.



Fake Food Decor

Using acrylic paint I colored my pieces like this:

Classic Caramel - Buns
Apricot - Cheese
Chocolate Bar - Burger Patties
Kelly Green - Lettuce



Fake Food Decor

When everything was dry (I used two coats) I hot glued the stack together like this.  Now the faux burger is part of my snack cabinet, which you can see in this post.

And that's how I made my faux burger!

New House Makeover: Family Room

 Home Decor

It's now February 2023 and I'm still working my way through the new house makeover series!

Read on to see the family room before and after:

Now on to the family room:

These listing photos show the family room as it was when we purchased the house and contain some of the previous owner's furniture.  We ended up repainting the walls beige, the brick fireplace surround white, having carpet put in and swapped out the hanging light for a ceiling fan.



Home Decor

This photo is from right after we moved in.  Tons of things had been completed but we still had to have plastic down to protect the carpeting.  I like things neat and tidy, so for me it was a nightmare!  Husband and kids were just happy to have a fireplace though 😁

**********

And here are the after photos:

Home Decor

Because the family room opens into the craft studio, lots of light comes in throughout the day.  Having the glass doors means I keep the studio picked up as well, since any mess can be seen.  The curio cabinet we've had forever and I repainted it a few of years ago.  Behind the couch you can kind of see a decorative piece of wood.  That's the headboard from the crib that both of my children used.  I repainted it white, added a Cricut decal in gold vinyl and positioned it behind the couch.  The very first photo at the top of this post gives you a better look at the headboard.



Home Decor

The TV stand is a thrifted buffet that I refinished. The coffee table used to be darker oak and black wrought iron until I refinished that as well.



Home Decor

 I opted to remove the doors from the small closet and put up a curtain instead.  I like the softness of it and it makes it easier to grab extra blankets/ pillows and still have the chair there.  The chair has a really dark fabric but the slipcover lightens it up nicely.  I love furniture slipcovers because I can pull them off and run them through the laundry as needed.  Since this photo was take I put a matching cover on the couch as well.



Home Decor

Here is a nice shot at night, just because I though it was cozy!  The deer skull that you see in this room is named Herschel and below that is a cabinet where I display my faux snack foods.  You can see inside the cabinet in this post.

Faux Food From Dollar Tree Pet Toys: Part 2 + Snack Food Display

Fake Food Decor

Today's post is a combination how-to and storage/ display post.  I'm going to show you how I repainted Dollar Tree pet toys to look like pretty faux food, as well as show you how I store/ display my fake snack food collection.  Check it out:

Here are how the pet toys looked as I bought them from Dollar Tree.  The size and shape were great, but the coloring could use help.

Note:  This isn't the first time I've used pet toys in my fake bakes, the link list at the end of this post contains another pet toy/faux food tutorial 😊



Fake Food Decor

Using acrylic paints in Khaki, Kings Gold and Coffee Latte, I used a sponge brush to apply the color by dabbing it on.  I like to start with my lightest shade first (khaki, top right) and then add darker colors as I go (kings gold second and then the coffee latte)

It might seem frustrating at first, but keep playing around with your colors until you like what your have.  You can always add more of a shade if you think you need to, or even start over.



Fake Food Decor

I used the same process for the hot dog buns, and then fixed up the condiments/ meats by using more acrylic paint that I applied with a brush.  

**********

Once dry I added the hot dogs and burgers to my snack food display cabinet, here are some pics of that collection:



Fake Food Decor

The little finger sandwiches were made using leftover spray foam pieces, you can see how I did that  here.  The hot dogs are also pet toys that I repainted and I found them at the thrift store.

This photo shows all of the Dollar Tree pet toys.

The faux popcorn was a holiday tree garland that I took apart and put into a used candle jar.  The chicken wings here and the kabobs here (note how tiny they are before purchasing).



Fake Food Decor

The sandwiches are play food toys that I hot glued together and the soda I made with thrift store glassware, resin, faux ice cubes and acrylic paint for color.  You can check out this post for step by step directions.

The popcorn containers came in a set with the foil wrapped burgers and sodas that I found on Ebay for around $50.  It's been a few years since I bought these and unfortunately the seller is no longer available.  I looked for similar sets but didn't find anything.  You may have to buy them piece by piece if interested, though it looks like they have gotten quite expensive - I saw single burgers going for $30!

The popcorn ball I found at a thrift store and I think is intended to be a holiday decoration.  I bet you could make your own by gluing some of the faux popcorn to a foam ball.



Fake Food Decor

These tacos also came from the Dollar Tree pet section and I repainted them in the same way.



Fake Food Decor

The hot dog sandwiches in the trifle bowl were an Amazon buy that's no longer available.  I couldn't find a similar style, but a 'fake sandwich' search on Amazon does bring up a lot of other cute options!

And there you have it, easy and inexpensive fake bake décor from dollar store pet toys, as well as my faux snack food collection!
