For a creativity project I need to make things out of food?

They need to be creative things worldwide that have come about from 1500-present such as statue of liberty, a privateer ship, Taj Mahal, etc. Food suggestions and perhaps how to construct them would be awesome.



it is not clear whether the end-product has to be edible or not. if it is the former, then you have a limited scope - cakes, chocolates, or other tiered food.





but i'm sure its the latter. in that case, look at the various


* pastas - there are so many diff shapes & sizes & colors they come in, including noodles & spaghetti. the ribbon noodles would make nice logs for the ship or beams for the Eiffel Tower.


* breakfast cereals


* food grains & cereals & pulses


* biscuits, cookies


* candies, marshmallows, ...


* breads [these can also be used to mold & sculpt when dunked in water & squeezed to form lumps]


* flour - of various thickness


* dry fruiits & nuts


* gumpaste


* cheeses





some of the above can be used for the basic structure, while others to adorn & decorate or other details.





hope these help you get started.


look at the structure to be built - the shapes required, ....


then choose from among the food items.


i have avoided fresh fruits, veggies & liquids for obvious reasons.





all the best
