Basketweave: How Did I Do For My 1St Time?
Decorating By tmdoxie Updated 5 Dec 2006 , 7:13am by cupcake
This is my first attempt at doing a basketweave AND the reverse shell. There's actually a story behind this cake. As you all will notice, this is the oval cake for the final in course II. Well, my supervisor called me at 5:30 Tuesday morning and asked me if I could come in for her because he baby was sick. So, me being the nice little employee that I am, agreed on the condition that I leave by 1 because I had to be at my cake class at 5:30. Well, I got home and had my cake all ready to go and all my supplies packed up. Well, during the course of making icing and packing, my eyes started to get blurry. When that happens, its time for me to take a nap. Bad idea. Woke up at 7:58 and class was long over so, that was that. I was looking forward to that class the most because I've been wanting to learn basketweave since I started cake decorating in September. So, I decided that I would try the basketweave on my own.
Without further ado . . . . 
Can you try downloading the pictures again? I'm getting an image error..or maybe it's just my computer 
I just did my 1st one this weekend as well. The picture is in my pictures. Yours looks great! Did you ice the cake before doing the basket weave? I didn't, but you can see the chocolate cake through it in some spots, I think next time I will do a thin layer for icing underneath, even though the directions on the internet that I found didn't say to.
I see it now. You did great! I did chocolate for my first one. (see pics). I did ice my cake first and the basketweave held onto the icing very well.
Great job.. hard to tell its your first attempt at basketweave..
