Basket Weave

Last, but certainly not least here is my basket weave cake.


I was nervous, okay more like terrified, to attempt this cake! The teacher kept telling us it wasn't that hard, but I just wasn't so sure of my skills. It was definitely time consuming and uses lots of hand strength, but with a little...A LOT of patience I finished. I'm thrilled with my final cake and can't wait to make more cakes in the future. I'm so glad I signed up for this class and you will all just have to stay tuned for what cakes are to come.

Here is Chris trying to figure out how I did the basket weave.


And here is my favorite artistic shot of the cake. What you can't see is that the cake this week is a triple decker. Pretty cool huh?!

I hope you all enjoyed going on this journey with me. I have loved almost every minute of it and have enjoyed sharing with you each week what I have learned. Thank you Christopher for supporting me and encouraging me to take up a hobby I enjoy. Thanks to my Mom, Sister and Sister in Law's who have not killed me for my late/middle of the night picture messages!!
