 The basket is royal icing. The leaves are gumpaste. The rest is buttercream. The cake is Chocolate. The photo was taken before I finished placing all the leaves around the cakeboard. |

Wow, that's brilliant!! How did you get the end of the basket to curve upwards like that? I'm very impressed! Shianne  |

Thanks forall the nice comments. To make the basket I took pieces of styrofoam and put them together with dowels. Then I carved it to the basket shape. I then marked with a black marker where the lines would be in the basket. I took the foam apart, covered the parts with clear food service film and piped on the royal icing. When each section dried and hardened I took out the foam and plastic and then glued the sections together with more royal icing. Lots easier than it sounds or looks.
