Meet the food stylist who makes fake food and drink for films and TV shows – including the Kardashians and Netflix’s Umbrella Academy.
Lara McLean, 24, has been making fake food since she was 16 after becoming fascinated with her neighbour, Maria Mamourian’s, 69, business.
Lara took over the business in August 2023 and spends her days making handmade fake food such as martinis, cakes, cookies and burgers.
She uses a range of materials – often using resin for drinks, plaster for cakes, and clay for coffee beans.
Lara’s customers range from restaurants and shops like Ikea to movie productions and home stagers.
She is often in the dark as to what movie she is making the product for but has since spotted her fake food in the Kardashian’s, Umbrella Academy and Murdoch Mysteries.
