 Easter Baskets cakes
by: Angel from chillicothe ohio

A great idea for the baskets are to make a layer cake whether square or round and ice it with a thin layer of buttercream. Take a fairly large (one side flat) easter bunny mold (chocolate candy mold) and mold enough bunnies to make a border around the cake. Then dip out a portion of the center and put a layer of green buttercream. On top of this cover the cake with green tinted coconut and add easter candies to suit. a great handle, if color cordinated is the nerd ropes you get in the stores. handles do not necessarily have to stand up on the basket they can lay to the side, but if standing then it is best to put the rope on and push down into the cake before adding the coconut and candies.

The oval is a good one.
And Nancy's suggestion is also good.

Any cake shape will work.

I would double the thickness though so it would be taller. That makes the basket weave easier.

For instance if you want a rectangular shape and use a 9" x 13" pan, make 2 or 3 and stack them.

I saw on this site where someone did a basket and used a marshmallow rope as a handle. I can't find those where I live, wish I could, it looked very nice.

Depending on the color you use you might get some of those twizzlers in colors and use them for a handle.

An oval pan works nice.

 BASKET SHAPE

I THINK I WOULD JUST USE A TUBE CAKE PAN OR BUNT PAN TO BAKE THE CAKE AND IF YOU WANTED YOU COULD SCOOP OUT A LITTLE OF THE CAKE ON TOP AND ICE THE SIDES WITH A BASKET WEAVE. YOU CAN GET SOME PIPE CLEANERS FOR THE HANDLE IF YOU WANT HANDLES ONE IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS OR NOT BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF. I HOPE YOU GET SOMEONE THAT HAS ANOTHER IDEA..GOOD LUCK, NANCY OF CA.
