I have seen the basketweave piping a lot but I had never tried it until today. It's time consuming but not hard. There is piped grass in the basket, but you can't see it from this angle. The flowers and butterflies are candy melts. The butterflies on the handle were added to hide where I had to patch the gum paste handle. LOL! I tried to hide the oops.As usual it's not perfect but it will taste good all the same. We have stuffed a ton of eggs for the hunt this year. We're busy as bees trying to glitter and dye the last bit of hardboiled eggs.
The biggest problem with Easter in Arkansas is that you never know about the weather. Our weather is nuts. Keep your fingers crossed that we have a beautiful Easter! I hope you enjoy this cake! HAPPY EASTER to all you wonderful bloggers.

It's beautiful cake. Looks yummy too! The butterflies on the handle look great--I think of mistakes are opportunities for embellishing! :)

Great JOB Elizabeth! I haven't done basket weave piping as I know it does take a good chunk of time! From the pic it no way looks like your first attempt!

Wow! Cool cake. I'm here in AR too--Little Rock.
What a great cake! It looks delicious!
The cake looks about a zillion times better than any plain sheet cake I've tried to put frosting on! Love it.
I remember a few Arkansas Easters at my aunt's home in Lake Village. We always bought the pastel sweaters just in case we needed to wear them.
One word....WOW
This is very beautiful. I'd take bunches of pictures then consume this! It looks so very yummy!
