Abstract
Food carriers and methods of manufacture of the same are described, and more particularly to a food carrier that projects one or more decorative silhouettes and associated methods of manufacture. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a bucket formed of a translucent material in which a light source within the bucket illuminates the bucket interiorly and exteriorly. The translucent material of the bucket may permit the light from the light source to pass through the bucket to a region exterior to the bucket. The apparatus may include at least one decorative opening along the surface of the exterior wall to permit the light to pass through to the region exterior to the bucket, which may generate a decorative silhouette that emanates from the exterior wall of the bucket and project to the region exterior to the bucket.
