A New Take on a Basket Cake!

This stunning cake designed by member Helen Murphy, Helen's Cakes, is a unique take on the traditional basket cake design. Colorful sugar lilies spill over a handmade bamboo basket made of gumpaste. For a more spring-like feeling lighten the colors and add violets, tea roses, baby's breath, apple blossoms, peonies, and a more traditional woven sugar basket. For a tropical twist, change out the flowers for bird of paradise, hibiscus, or gumpaste orchids. Another idea is to incorporate the recipient's favorite flowers into the basket. A breathtaking alternative to a floral bouquet for birthdays and even Mother's Day!
