make food that looks like something else? Well, here is your

elaborate displays representing allegorical, mythological, or
historical events (e.g. models of castles, cooked meats redressed
to look like the animal they originated from). Entrants
must include a list of ingredients with their entry.
Documentation is not required for this contest, but you can
present it with your entry if you so choose.
