Why not use gumpaste to make the bag and cup. Then you can paint the stripes on the bag. Or color the gumpaste that color. Just a thought.

My suggestion for the box is to create a pattern to cut out, let it dry and using glue or RI to seal edges together. To get the stripes you can either paint them or place stripes of alternating colors and roll out to blend the seems. (I saw this technique used by Colette Peters on a food network show).

that was going to be my suggestion as well- gumpaste glued together w/ RI and if you want a nice sheen just lightly steam it. If you are uncomfortable with gumpaste and have a fair amount of time use 50/50 gumpaste /fondant and let it dry a good while - it will buy you time to work w/ it still dry hard and still be steamable.
