Fall Harvest
The basket was done in royal icing as this is a dummy cake. Grapes, plums, cherry tomatoes, garlic, cucumber, tablecloth and peppers are all made from fondant. The apple, peach, potatoes, corn, and carrots are formed rice krispy treats and then covered with fondant. Basket handle is made from gum paste. The filler 'straw' packing material is made from fondant that I forced through an extruder. It looked like whole wheat spaghetti until it dried and I broke it up into smaller pieces. I also used some of the faux straw for the end of the garlic. The wood for the table top was 5 different colors of fondant (white, tan, yellow, pumpkin orange and black) that I rolled into long ropes and then rolled it out and stained it with Ever-clear and chocolate brown petal dust. Everything was shaded with petal dust.

Thank you Tracy. Maybe one of these days I'll get brave enough to actually carve a cake. I'm in awe of Tami's Yoda. Squeezing a bunch of Rice Krispy Treats just isn't the same as actually taking a knife to a cake! lol!

I'd say that this was some great sculpting! Those peppers look just like the ones I'm cooking right now with some chicken for tacos!

Thank you Tami. I loved doing this cake. I can't sculpt all that great, but I can do this kind of stuff.

Bonnie, I covered RKT with yellow fondant first (after I squished and rolled that stuff as tight as I could get it-the RKT) then I rolled tiny balls of yellow and started putting rows on. I didn't cover the entire ear, just as far as you can see the kernels. I had some dried out corn husks that I had left over from making some corn husk dolls, so I rolled the green out onto the husk to get those lines on both sides.
