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.

Now that I think it through, you are correct about how the contest's rules work. You are my winner...anyways, so I want the pink ones. Lol

Thank you Martin! Haven't heard from you in awhile...good to see you!

Sandra, I think a lot of people think the same thing, but having the members vote and then having the pros vote, gives it those checks and balances that the contests need. That way the cakes can be scrutinized by the pros and their votes will be objective and not voted on by a popular vote. It's the best way to do the contests.
