Ingredients

Mashed Potato Ice Cream Sundae

4 scoops mashed potato
¼ cup Gravy
Sprinkles
2 Cherries

Undrinkable Juice Food Prank

1 Cup fruit juice
3 tablespoon Gelatine

Easter Egg Food Prank

4 Small wrapped Easter eggs
4 Tomatoes mini egg shaped ones work best

It's Not Egg & Fries Food Prank

3 tablespoon Plain or sweetened greek yoghurt it needs to be white
1 Apricot half
1 Apple

Instructions

Ice Cream Sundae
Prepare mashed potato and allow to cool, you need quite a stiff mixture, ie don't add too much liquid. Tip: Instant mashed potatoes are perfect for this!
Prepare gravy, (allow to cool) if you go for a dark gravy it will look like chocolate, a lighter gravy will look like caramel. Tip: for the sake of a food prank like this a commercial store bought gravy is perfectly fine!
Scoop the potato into the tool glass, pour on the gravy, top with sprinkles and cherries. Tip: if you find it hard to get nice round scoops with an ice cream scoop, you can also just mold the scoop with your hands
Undrinkable Juice
Thicken the fruit juice with the gelatine using the packet instructions. Different types of gelatine have different instructions. The one I used worked in cold juice, but some you may need to warm the liquid.
Easter Egg Food Prank
Carefully unwrap the easter eggs, save the foil
Re-wrap the tomatoes, I have also seen this prank with grapes!
It's not eggs and fries
Shape a blob of yoghurt on a plate
Top with an apricot half, voila an egg!
Slice apple into battons to look like fries. I used a crinkle cutter but they look fine with straight edges too!
