Decorating By MrsMom Updated 29 Mar 2007 , 1:51am by practiceandpatience
Well, course 2 is finally done. Course 3 starts up in 2 weeks...then I'm taking a month or two off before doing the fondant and gumpaste class! The basketweave was a lot easier than I thought it would be...but hard on your hands! I decided to go a little simpler than what the book showed, and my instructor was fine with that.
And...here is the purse can from he%%! It was one thing after another with this bad boy. Fortunately it tasted good! It was a learning experience, anyway.
What do you think?
I think both cakes look great! I love the design on the purse and the basketweave on the other cake looks perfect! Nice job!! Jen
the first time I did basketweave was over 6 months ago I still can't do basketweave like this very good!!!!!!
Cute purse cake! And your basketweave is perfect!
Congrats! We are on the same class schedule! I finished up last night (Tuesday night) and will start course III in two weeks. I was saying last night in class that I had seen the BW done in chocolate and how much I liked it! I love the purse too. HHmmm.....might have to try that one!
Thanks for the replies!
I think my judgement of the purse cake may be clouded by the experience. 
My SIL kept saying how "great" and "perfect" it was and all I could think about was cutting it so I did't have to look at it anymore. 
Yeah, the basketweave was fun...it was the rope border I struggled with. I can't wait to do a two-tone one, or the one with that uses the round tip too!
Very nice! I never thought of using a wired ribbon for the handle - it looks great! Nice course 2 cake too! Looks yummy!
Happy Spring!
YES YOUR CAKE LOOKS DELICIOUS!!! NOTHING COMPARED TO MY DISASTER ON MY BASKET WEAVE...LOL....!! GREAT JOB!! BEAUTIFUL PURSE!!
