Project description

I run a small coffee shop with twelve seats, and the display case by the door is glass with a lamp over it. The problem is simple: by early afternoon the tray is empty, and anyone walking past reads that as "there is nothing here". I want eight food replicas made so the case works from opening to closing: two pastries, a slice of cheesecake, a croissant, two cups of drinks (a hot cappuccino with latte art and an iced coffee with visible layers) and a breakfast plate with an egg, toast, half a tomato and herbs.

It matters to me that the replicas are cast from our actual items rather than sculpted by eye. Both the volume and the texture have to match: the open crumb of the dough, the crumbs along the cut edge, matte glaze, the fine cracks in a sugar crust. I want honest colour with no plastic shine — our caramel is warm, not orange, and cappuccino foam is cream, not white. The lamp is on all day, so the material and the top coat must hold up to light and not yellow or fade within half a year. Weight and stability matter too: nothing should slide or tip over when the front door lets in a draught. I will supply my own plates and cups from the working set, so the case shows exactly the crockery a guest gets at the table.

Safety conditions, and I treat them as part of the job. A replica is not edible: it stays in the case with a clearly visible label and is never carried out to guests, and certainly never handed to children as a treat. The resins and paints are not food grade, so a replica is never placed next to real food without a separating stand — either its own shelf or a rimmed base. Size and composition must match a real portion: a cheesecake that stands twice as tall in the window as it does on the plate misleads the guest, and I am the one explaining it at the till.

What I need done:
— silicone moulds taken from our eight real items;
— casts finished by hand: dough texture, crumbs, glaze, knife marks;
— layered painting, with the colour checked under my own case lighting;
— drink imitations inside my cups: foam, layers, condensation droplets;
— the breakfast plate assembled into one solid, stable piece;
— a weighted non-slip base so nothing shifts during cleaning;
— a removable fixing to the crockery so the cups can still be washed;
— eight matching price labels, each marked as a display replica.

On timing, I can wait a week and a half to two weeks, but I want a photo of the first cast before the whole batch is painted. The budget is open: quote me per item and for the full set, and separately the cost of a touch-up if something dulls after a year.
