Hi everyone - I'm excited to share with you my latest cake project. In the spirit of this holiday, I decided to do an Easter egg basket! I started with a square cake and then I carved it into the shape of a basket. It was crumb coated with ganache to seal it properly and to give it a definite basket shape - smooth surfaces and sharp corners. I covered it with fondant, and then I did the woven pattern with modeling chocolate. I tried to do a slight ombre effect on the sides. The tag and figures where done with gum paste. With the exception of the handle, everything is edible. I had to insert a small wire in the handle to give it support and to form the arch shape. I hope that you like the cake!
