Decorative food and method and apparatus for manufacturing the same

An apparatus for manufacturing a decorative food, including a charging device for charging a plurality of kinds of fluid food materials into a mold, a hardening device for hardening said charged fluid food materials to obtain said decorative food, and a demolding device for taking off said hardened decorative food out of said mold:

• said charging device comprising a container section for separately accommodating said plurality of kinds of said fluid food materials on a material-by-material basis, and a nozzle section for feeding said plurality of kinds of said fluid food materials from said container section at a predetermined amount,
• said nozzle section including a nozzle mounting plate and a nozzle piece,
• said nozzle mounting plate having first passages formed therein for delivering said fluid food materials fed from said container section on a material-by-material basis, and upper holes formed in said first passages for feeding said fluid food materials to said nozzle piece placed below said plate on said material-by-material basis,
• said nozzle piece having second passages formed therein for separately moving and spreading said fluid food materials fed from said upper holes, in a horizontal direction on said material-by-material basis, and lower holes formed in said second passages, on said material-by-material basis, said lower holes being larger in number than said upper holes, whereby said fluid food materials are separately extruded into said mold placed below said nozzle piece,
• said nozzle mounting plate and said nozzle piece each having a food guide hole penetrating in a vertical direction for feeding a foodstuff in said fluid food materials.
