Basketweave and Course 2

It has been awhile since I posted any cakes I have done, and that is because I really haven't done a lot of cakes lately. As some of you know, I am pregnant and not feeling really in the "cake making" mood! Luckily I have been getting better the last few weeks and I was able to attend and finish my Wilton course 2 class.
It was a fun course, we learned a lot of flowers, color flow, and worked with a lot of royal icing. The final night we learned Basketweave, and made our final cake with our flowers, the rope boarder, and the basketweave siding. I learned a lot on the final night...the thing that I had to learn the hard way was that the rope boarder was not as big as I thought, and so I have a little gap between my basketweave and my boarder! Oh well...now I know to take the basketweave all the way to the top and bottom, even if it will just get covered...always better safe then sorry!
Here are pictures of my final cake. I will get posting more cakes soon, promise!
