Basket Cake

This is 1/4 sheet and 1/2 sheet all chocolate cake stacked, covered in buttercream basket weave. The top 2" is styrofoam covered in buttercream and fondant. There are gumpaste lilies, carnations, orchids, mums, freesia, acorns, roses, stephanotis (SP?) grapes, ivy, and hydrangea. I couldn't be happier with this cake! Thanks for looking Donna

Not only are your stephanotis spelled correctly, but the bright white is perfect with the fall flowers.

Wow you all sure do know how to make a girls day! Thanks so much for your comments. So yes, I did make all the gumpaste flowers, and they are dusted with color and then some were air brushed to deepen the colors. Thanks again, I have never had such a large responce to one of my cakes! :) ~Donna
