Floral Easter Cake

There is nothing better than a yummy piece of cake at a family event! This floral cake is gorgeous for Easter or any spring gathering!

Believe it or not this cake is easy to make!

**Make an 8 inch round cake by the instructions on the box, bake and let cool!**

For decorations you need 2 icing tips! First of all to make the basket weave pattern you need a tip.
It looks like this and is a Wilton #48.

For the green leaves you need a leaf tip. Wilton #352

 

Start icing the cake around the sides to look like what you see when you look at a brick wall. Each row of bricks or basket weave start at the center of the row before. The lines down help you to line up your rows! Practice first, then go for it!

 

 

 

Once you have the sides done the top is EXTREMELY EASY! All the flowers on top of this cake were purchased! Visit your local Hobby Lobby or Michaels and get PRE-MADE Wilton flowers!

 

They come in packages like this:

 

Lay out the flowers on top of the cake as you desire and then use your green icing and tip #352 to fill in all the blank spaces with leaves!

 

VOILA! Perfect cake for Easter or any SPRING occasion!
