Two people sent private messages to me regarding the directions for this cake. Since I'm still a newbie here... I accidentally deleted their messages. 
Sorry about that. Anyway, here are some brief directions. I just came up with this cake, so nothing formal was written up.
The cake is actually easier than it looks. The cake itself is two nine inch rounds. I used lemon layers, strawberry jam for the filling and buttercream with a bit of lemon extract added. The flowers were royal and the leaves and vines were buttercream.
The lid is a cake round cut in half. I did the basketweave on the "brown" side leaving a tiny edge to handle it by. I did the basketweave on the other half of the cake. I placed the strawberries near the center point, then slid the lid into place, filling with more strawberries. After everything was in place, I piped a border around the edge to cover the cardboard.
On the handle, I was planning to do fondant, but it was raining buckets outside and the dang thing wouldn't harden (plus I had not allowed enough drying time). I used a handle from an ice cream bucket and piped royal icing on the underneath side and let that dry. Then I piped on the top side and let that dry. I used the edges to handle it. After the cake was assembled, I piped along the edges of the handle to hide the edge of the plastic handle. I kept the plastic handle for future cakes. It worked very well. I *think* you could use buttercream for the handle too, if you were very careful handling it.
I hope that helps. Ask any questions you have and Ill answer as best I can. Im still a newbie.

Was the lid's Icing Royal ? Pretty prefection for a newbie.... I love it.
Sorry for the delay... I never got the notice that I had messages to answer. 
No, the lid icing was buttercream that had crusted before putting it on the cake.
Thank you for the compliment.
