Course 2 was advanced buttercream, color flow technique, royal icing flowers and basket weave. I thought a lot about how I wanted my final cake to look. I knew I wanted pastel flowers and a chocolate buttercream for the basket. All the planning paid off in the end. I love this cake. Basket weave is surprisingly easy. Much easier than making chocolate buttercream! The bird is color flow, a thin, fast-drying icing that can be used to draw any shapes or designs. The royal icing flowers are easy to make and impressive once on the cake. My favorites are the pansies.
Due to my first kitchen disaster, which I am not yet ready to talk about, the cake was store bought. I just scraped it down to the icing and created a beautiful cake of my own.
