For those who have been to San Francisco, and even for those who haven't, this will be a very interesting story. Liz Hickok, an artist, made a scale model of San Francisco. It is named The City and was made in 2005. Seems normal, doesn't it? Except that it is made out of Jell-O blocks. She made the model by researching architectural plans of buildings there and building models of them. Then she constructed molds for these models, and painted a backdrop. She picked a color scheme and bought the correct types of Jell-O in bulk to make the blocks. After the city was set up, she put in lights from beneath the city, and took photographs of it. The Jell-O ended up rotting and decaying, as expected, and it was disposed of. A link to her website is here and you can see a photograph of it at the top of this post. You can also purchase a copy at her website, and there are videos of it there.

I want to live in Jello City! I like the way the lights shine through the gelatine blocks.
Edible model cities remind me of this obsessively geeky effort: http://missedmanners.wordpress.com/2008/01/03/battle-of-pelennor-fields/
This should work better:
