Fun With Giant Fruit

Snapshots from a field trip to Studio Spécialités in Little Italy - where it's Christmas all year 'round and you can buy a giant fake cauliflower for 150$... and so much more. The fake food cart was by far my favorite, and there are enough Christmas trees to blow your mind. The window display people all get their goods here, and they supply the snow for the Ogilvy's traditional Christmas window display.

You all know I love fake cakes.
