YAY!! I tried basket weaving and roses for the first time in this practice cake. I'm very excited....it's not the best but I'm encouraged that I can do it! (The roses scared me to death, so I'm glad I tried them!)

Thanks so much for the encouragement! I really appreciate it! The roses are made from buttercream, not fondant.

Good job! Basketweave is a great tool to learn. I now use it when the sides of the cake are not perfect. It hides alot!
