Eric Hart's Prop site always has a neat weekly collection of links and tutorials, and his
how-to on building a fake dead lamb, which has sections that can be edible, is tops in my book.
It's the perfect thing for any horror film or haunted house attraction. Hell, I can even see this being modified for a zombie or cannibal movie.
Go here for full instructions.
(Warning: Some of the pics seen in the tutorial may be upsetting to animal lovers and even be considered NSFW just for its sheer gore factor)
Fake n Bake is a amazing blog centered around the how to of replica prop food. The kind of prop found constantly in all sorts of visual media from film, theatre, and even advertising. It's even the kind of prop that is often admired as a artform in Japan as restuarants use replica food to showcase their menu offerings. Enough talk go there and be amazed. (h/t to Eric Hart)
Eric Hart has posted a neat article on how he had to create fake beer cans filled with something non-alcoholic that actually looked real and even gave a nice pressurized hiss as they were cracked opened. He even goes as far as to show two seperate methods as to how this prop build can be achieved. Go here for the details.
