For my sister’s birthday one year, I enrolled us in a Beginner’s Miniature Food Display Course where you learn to use specific clays and dyes to make miniature fake food. In the course that we picked, we learned how to make a miniature black forest cake and miniature dim sum (bbq pork buns, siu mai and ha gow in a bamboo steamer). We had a great time and if you search for “miniature food” on http://www.youtube.com, you’ll see some amazing things that other people have done.
Note that the black forest cake is sitting on a miniature doile 🙂 and the cake box is even smaller than the bamboo basket.
