Hubby wanted cake...So I told him he had to practice one or more of his skills if he expected me to bake. It is Mardi Gras week and I'm exausted! So this is his first self taught attempt at basket weave and the rope trim. He learned he needs to go higher because he had a tiny gap. and also to crumb coat with the color your going to weave in. The grapes were his way of trying to hurry up and make pretty. I made the stems and tendrils with fondant. I think he did a great job! Not bad for a big tough fireman
Wow! This is a gorgeous cake--he did a very nice job!!
Excellent job. I'm learning basket weave now. I hope mine look this good! :lol:
Thank you both, he has a natural talent and I love seeing him create! :wink:
