For these:

I went to a local thrift store and picked up some old plates (one of these is bone China) a water goblet and a candlestick.
I brought them home and used epoxy to attach them together.

FYI -- Lemon cupcakes filled with white chocolate, frosted with fresh blackberry buttercream and garnished with a fresh blackberry

Triple chocolate layered cake, fresh raspberry filling, frosted with fresh chocolate (from Nicaragua) icing, topped with fresh Florida strawberries, and garnished with white chocolate - all built inside a rolled wafer wall and tied together with a yellow ribbon.
