Good job. I'm making a basket cake for this weekend. I was afraid the handle might give me fits as well!

I think it turned out wonderful! That's what I'm thinking of using for the Easter Cake I have to take for our Easter dinner, the little marshmallow peeps! :D

Thanks! I had major problems with the handle- it even with through the side of the cake and had to do repair work. Later found on this site someone doing a handle out of royal icing which would be lighter in weight, and maybe easier to work with. It's a lesson learned for next time!

I love it! Especially the handle! Is the handle just fondant or supported?

The handle is fondant
