These are cake entries at the Marin County Fair. Some are really good, like this picnic table below. The others are not Ace of Cakes material, but still better than anything I could do.
I took a study break during the July 4th holiday and spent it at the Marin County Fair in California. There were a lot of interesting exhibits on display, and here are images of some of the food art. My favorite is the basket of lemons.
