Saturday Etsy Finds - Fun Fake Food!

Welcome to the weekly feature of my blog! Every Saturday I post 10 fun items that I've discovered on Etsy that fit into a certain theme. I have permission from the sellers to post their photos and shop links, so check them out - you may see something you'd like to buy for yourself!

This week's theme is FAKE FOOD! There are times when browsing Etsy is so much fun, and this category is one of my favourite. Food can be such an inspiration! I love it when crafty people create fun food that isn't edible, but great to look at! Here's a sample...

Butterscotch Bath Cupcake from crazytimescandles


Price: $6.00
Isn't this beautiful (and realistic?) But don't eat it! This is one full size butterscotch scented bath bomb cupcake. Smells just like the little yellow round candies. Weighing in at around 5 oz., just 1 of these will leave you soft and smelling great. If you'd like to purchase this bath bomb, click here.

Bacon Earrings from fuzzybunnystew


Price: $16.00
Mmmmm...bacon. These earrings are hand drawn on shrinky dink plastic sheets with prismacolor pencils. The pieces are then baked and coated with a clear layer of acrylic medium. Lastly, the bacon is complimented with matching beads. If you'd like to purchase these earrings, click here.
