Fall's Bountiful Harvest - 916F
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 Mary and Christine!
Mary, we had a really difficult summer as a family, and the cake show was the very last thing on my mind at that time. Maybe another year.

Brilliant work, and I love the detail you have given, I really like your 'wooden' table top. i had to look twice because it is so realistic.
