Just want to make sure, no fondant cut outs? Or not covered with fondant? What about royal?

Thanks!

Not covered in fondant.  The general idea of this contest is to give beginners an opportunity to work on the basics.  I'd really like to see some very basic stuff my judging focus will be on things like piping and smoothing, so fondant deco won't earn you any points, but you are welcome to do whatever you'd like.
