The local group has an event called "Juvenalia." For my sins, I 
suggested having, as one feature, a "play with your food" contest. 
Contestants provide a period food that can be used as modeling clay 
or the like, kids use it to make things. I plan to enter gingerbrede, 
as the obvious candidate.

Leche Lumbard (basically a paste made from cooking dates in wine until they
are mushy then thickening with breadcrumbs or ground almonds or crumbled
boiled egg) can be quite satisfactorily sculpted...
