What I have really enjoyed doing in props, was the latex food! I'm not completely 100% sure about how to go about it as I didn't have much of ago, but basically we painted about four layers with latex mixed with paint inside the resin moulds of the food, then after it was completely dried we poured 2 part foam inside. After this had set, we removed them from the moulds (was a bit tricky so we used talcum powder to ease them out) and then finished them as following:
Cup cakes: drop shadow on the contour of the icing, pearl glaze on icing, glitter and gloss glaze on cherry.
Gingerbread men: matt glaze
Danish pastries: gloss glaze on icing, nothing on pastry
The key learning experiences in this task where how to use latex mixed with paint and how to use 2 part foam.
