Most but not all food pics are actually real food, but you may not want to eat it. Jello is made two or three times more concentrated to make it jiggle more. Turkeys are browned in the oven to make it look perfect, but they are mostly raw.
So yea, it might have a layer of glycerin on it, but it is real food. Ice cream might actually be just colored Crisco and many other tricks. That is all part of making it look like something you really want to eat. And why a food photographer will hire a cook that know how to make it just right for the camera.
At one shoot I helped at, they were cooking apple pies. The chief made about 12 pies to get one that looked just right. They were all perfectly good pies and we all pigged out until we did not want to see another pie. The rest went in the trash.
