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 Ruby. Other than the contest for the beach theme on this site, it was the first real contest I have ever entered. It's one of those to do things on my 'bucket list' of things to do before I kick the bucket. lol

Linda, mine isn't a competition it's a pamper fair, ladies get massaged, manicured, angel cards read & there will also be people selling jewelry, cupcakes etc. I'm taking a stall just to showcase & promote Fondant Fetish. Fingers crossed I get some work out of it. I won't be taking my cupcakes, just large cakes & toppers, which is why I'm busy creating on dummies. I've not entered a competition yet. Well done with all your ribbons Txx
