Hey Everyone,

This is a great video, the Christmas Cake looks Stunning, something for all of us to aspire to.  The Airbrushing is Totally out of this world, something I have to master better.  Yes Guys, I am no good at airbrushing, how about you. 

Do you like to listen to music when creating your Masterpieces?

I know I do, and honestly the CD I listened to today, just brought a tear to my eye.  It is so gorgeous, the back, oh the back to the songs are the best I have heard on a CD in a long, long while. I recommend this CD to everyone, it will bring out the best when you are creating!

Love and Light and a Peaceful Festive Season are wished for you.

Hi everyone,

What is one Cake Decorating Technique that is an all time favourite?  I will give you 3 guesses - that's right you have it in one - Basket Weave!

This may look hard, but honestly with a bit of practice and the right tools, and some stamina in your arms and hands, it is quite a simple cake decorating technique.

Below I have added a fabulous video which sets out very clearly how to do this wonderful cake decorating technique.

One thing I want you to watch very carefully is she wipes the nozzle after each application - VERY IMPORTANT.

You will also see here making some simple flowers - what how she does the carnations - awesome - see if you can spot how she made them 2 tone - if you can't I will tell you now, she adds 2 different shades of butter cream frosting in the piping bag.  Both colours are vertical down the bag - watch carefully, play the video back several times to see what I mean.

I use 2 different colours often when piping my basket weave, it just adds that extra something to the pattern.

Look and learn, then go and practice - it is the best way forward!

Oh remember, the workman is only as good as his tools - I have added some great tools and supplies you need at the bottom of this post for you access if needed.

I will add the video now, and continue my posting afterwards.
