I have been working on a cake for a birthday party the last couple of days. The person have her own yarn shop, so what would be better than making a knitting basket cake?
I have used Patchwork Cutters to make the Basketweave embossing and used my indispensable sugar gun to make all the strands of wool. I can highly recomend to use the sugarcraft tool because it makes strands, ropes and borders much easier to make. I have paintet the basket with brown powdered food color, mixed with clear alcohol. Knitting needles is made out of BBQ sticks.
Happy Caking!

I am so glad that all you yarn lovers love the cake. I dont knit well I must say
The yarn balls are cake blended with buttercream rolled into shape and chilled. I have covered them with a thin layer of rolled fondant and then applied the strands of “yarn” with the sugar gun and some sugar glue.
