The basketweave definitely looks harder than it actually is! It is just quite time consuming and if your icing is too stiff (which mine was) your hand gets very sore! But ANYONE can learn how to do the basketweave!
So this cake I made for my second cake class, and it is chocolate cake with chocolate chips. It is three layers with chocolate fudge pudding in between the layers, and a buttercream icing which I colored yellow with gel food coloring. Helpful hint: try to always use GEL food colouring because the gel food colouring will not change your consistency of the icing. For all the flowers I used royal icing. Royal icing is simply made out if icing sugar, water, and meringue powder. This type of icing dries very hard and is perfect for making flowers that hold their shape and look great, and they are also edible.
