Is the cake covered in fondant or buttercream? Wow, nicely done. The polkadots especially. Can you tell me how.

all buttercream. Heavy plastic mesh wrapped in fabric for handle held in place by wooden skewers. I carved out part of the cake, lined it w/ waxed paper then laid more fabric in the "hole" to place berries. It was actual size of a picnic basket and when it was set up, it was surrounded by dozens more berries.

it's a thin piece of plywood wrapped in saran wrap then iced. I hot glued material to the bottom. Cardboard would work too as long as its covered with something so the icing doesn't make it soft.
