The inside of the basket is chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. I rolled and weaved the fondant by hand in a basketweave pattern. It took a long time! My mother in law had to come over and watch my 6 mo. old because mommy was rolling fondant all day! HA
Thanks! yeah this was my first real try at gum paste. I would really like to do more. Maybe get some good tools. The ones I used were kind of a pain. A wooden roller that the gum paste would constantly get stuck to, etc. If anyone has some good suggestions on their favorite tools, let me know!
8O :o this is so beautiful! Your flowers are perfect! Any particular class or book/video you used to learn how to do flowers like that? I make gp roses, but not completely happy w/ them yet? :roll: :)
awww.. you guys are too sweet. It definitely had flaws, trust me. Ive never taken a class or gotten someone's book. I actually found my old Wilton gum paste kit from almost 10 years ago and got an itch to use it. I am now looking out for a DVD or class I can take (and get some new tools). I followed the directions of some of the Wilton flowers and I dont know if I wasnt getting it or what, but they werent looking too good. I kinda improvised and did what I felt was right for me. Im glad you like ...
