Title: Prop makers/ Fake food makers in USA
Post by: jing q on November 28, 2008, 02:54:44 pm

Hi guys, thought I would see if anyone has recommendations on prop makers/ fake food makers in the US?
Been searching online but some of the replica food makers' food pieces don't look very...appetizing.
haha
any help will be appreciated!!!

I used them to make some fruit a few years back.. very good.
I would also suggest you start there..
not much need in the us market for fake food.  seems the asian market is into it though.

These guys somewhat qualify.

The company is based here, but I'm pretty sure does their custom manufacturing in Mexico.  The quality is top notch, for fake food.  Lousy turnaround time for the custom stuff.  Trengove sells, or at least used to sell, a lot of their stock food.  I'm not sure what is up with Trengove.  They just moved, and have discontinued some items.
