Step 6The Real Decorating
STOP!
If you want to save yourself a lot of aggravation, drop the entire cake into the deep freeze for about 20 minutes. Butter cream in the freezer = solid frosting layer to draw on.
Ok, now you need a frosting bag with 2 tips. One tip for the round vertical lines, and a rectangular tip to make the horizontal lines. (there are other basket weave styles out there, this one let me cover the cake faster since the lines are bigger).
Place one vertical line down the side of the cake.
Now replace the tip with the rectangle, and draw lines of equal length, centered across the round line, spaced one tip-size apart.
Draw the next vertical lines at the ends of those horizontal bands.
Now draw the next horizontal lines offset from the first ones, just like in the photo.
Continue the alternating pattern all the way around the cake.
Finish the top and bottom edges with a rope effect by drawing circles with the frosting.
