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.

From start to finish it took about a week. Since it was a dummy cake, I just worked with it at my leisure. If I were to make it as a real cake, I would do like I did with the garden cake. Make all of the elements for the cake in advance, (along with the cake and freeze it), then once I am ready to assemble, I take the cake out of the freezer, thaw, ice, and then add all of the finishing touches.
