This is a homemade Flower Basket Cake I made for a friend for a farewell party. I made all the flowers and leaves several days in advance using sugar paste, and I stored it in an air-tight container.
I made two 11” round pan butter cakes and sandwiched them with butter icing. I put a light icing coating on the top and sides of the cake . Then using a basket tip, I started weaving the pattern using butter icing. When done with the basket, I added the flowers and the leaves.
I made the bumble bee from the sugar paste. I used Wilton colours and the bumble bee came out very cute. It turned out great. Everyone thought it was beautiful and tasted great too!
This cake is a work of art!
