Here's a few examples of  several non-marble and staff sculptural oddities displayed at the Fair. The edidible sculptural medium of choice was for the most part butter. below  are  some  photographs of the edible oddities.

 The State California had  an two exhibits that  showcased almonds in a unique  fashion. The  right image  is obviously a sculpture of 
a full-sized elephant  from almonds. The display base and surrounding area was  a variety of nuts.  

The image  below  was created by  Sacramento County and was a miniature of the California State Capital Building
created entirely from almonds.

The third Californian food exhibited showcased a beautiful butter  sculpture. (Below)
