Basket Birthday Cake

by Rajashri Manoj
(Bangalore, India)

I made this cake for my mom's birthday. I baked 2 chocolate sponge cakes, sliced them in half and soaked them with fruit juice. Then I sandwiched them with fresh cream icing both chocolate and plain vanilla icing. I iced the top of the cake with vanilla icing and the sides with chocolate.I sprinkled some grated dark chocolate on the side walls of the cake. For the flowers, I had made them previously with egg white and icing sugar (made into a dough with sodium CMC, rolled it out and cut them using small cookie cutters). I made chocolate leaves and hearts. For the handle I took a length of electrical wire and bent it into the shape and wound it thoroughly with satin ribbon and tied it with a bow on the top and pushed it into the side of the cake. Voila!!! and my cake was ready. My mom and family were so pleased with it.
