I don't know if I have the perfect solution for your question, but I have a few ideas.<br /><br />Is this supposed to be edible at all, or just smashed? If they're eating it, it's tricky to mix edible and non edible materials into one prop, so I don't recommend putting caulk onto real cake, or anything like that. In fact, I can't think of any non-edible materials that crumble like cake. (Upholstery foam is a good one if the cake doesn't have to crumble.) What I think I would do is to use edible, but costume friendly foods. The problem with cake crumbs is that they are oily, and can stain formal wear. Bread crumbs, on the other hand, just brush right off. I'd consider using soft bread instead of cake. You could bake the bread in a cake pan, with a bit of food coloring, and it might be just right. You could probably make a lot and freeze it. (How long is your run, by the way?) As for frosting.....well, if it isn't going to be eaten at all, maybe caulk is the way to go. If any of it is eaten, the trick would be to find icing that won't stain. I'd experiment with royal icing, or other boiled icings with no oil in them.Anna Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665022596809253309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285220696053223933.post-28326885125022601852012-04-04T14:02:44.121-07:002012-04-04T14:02:44.121-07:00Anna,

I am currently working on a production of Big Love (Charles Mee) and in it the actors are supposed to smash wedding cake in each other's faces. It needs to crumble realistically and I would, of course, not like cake or icing to get on the formalwear (wedding dresses and tuxedos). I've looked at your blog and gotten some great ideas but wondered if there was anything else you might suggest that might help with the specifics. The caulk is a great idea and I had already suggested that but the crumbling?

I've been tasked with creating food for a still shot and i have to make it look like someone has just thrown food in the characters face. I was wondering how would you go about say creating something like spaghetti in mid-impact with someone's face? i would love to create something looking like for example an egg breaking over a characters face. What sort of glues, plastic, resins would i need to achieve this?? I'm really stumped so would be great to hear from you. You can contact me at <br />luke_judlin@yahoo.co.uk<br /><br />Look forward to hearing your advise.<br />Lukelukejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293112405693085035noreply@blogger.com
