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.

One thing that many people forget is that a workman is only as good as his tools and supplies.

I find that I need several piping bags and a range of nozzles as any one time, plus a good source of supply for other things.

I have added a good selection of Cake Decorating Supplies below and in answer to your questions already - Yes I do get ALL my supplies from this source.

I find without question, the prices are good, the products quality and over a year, I save money getting them from the one source.

ALSO one more thing before I go -
