Wilton Course 2 Final Cake

Basket weave cake with all of the flowers that I learned to make over the four week period. These were done in royal icing. Each took a lot of practice, and getting the royal icing the right consistency was a pain. The course book also had a pattern for the color flow bird (which you will see tons of on this site), but I have a tendency to do my own thing, and I like butterflies better. I was worried it would break as I peeled it off the wax paper, but it held up okay. I then had to hold both wings in place in the body while it set. It just so happened my husband's birthday was that day, (and yes that is his name, I'm not trying to get one over on you). I don't think he was too impressed with a girlie cake, but oh well. I think it's pretty!
