A Scottish company known for creating fake food props for popular movies and high-profile clients is currently looking to expand its team. Fake Food Workshop, located in Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, has worked on projects for major names such as Barbie, Disney, Netflix, and Heinz. Kerry Samantha Boyes, along with her daughter Primrose, are the driving forces behind the business and are now seeking talented individuals to join them.
Kerry began the company during lockdown, starting from her kitchen table. Her intricate fake food creations, including ice cream cones featured in the 2023 Barbie Hollywood blockbuster, gained attention globally. With a passion for recreating dishes from Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management, Kerry’s creativity led to the establishment of Fake Food Workshop, attracting orders from around the world.
The company’s portfolio includes collaborations with National Trust properties, Jo Malone perfumers, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Ranging from roast goose to Scottish breakfasts, the company’s pieces have been well-received by various clients. In a unique venture, Kerry and Primrose opened the UK’s first Fake Food Store last year, complete with Victorian-style counters and cupboards, for the Spring Fling arts festival.
For those interested in joining Fake Food Workshop and becoming part of this innovative team, vacancies for fake food painters, sculptors, and sales management are now open. To learn more about the company and the available positions, visit www.fakefoodworkshop.com.
