Cake decorating week 4: cake #3

This week we learned the basket weave and also using color (of course I would pick purple!!).  We learned two various color techniques, the first we used for flower and involved striping a color with white in the pastry bag.  Then we played with which direction the tip was to give different color effects.  Then we did another striping technique with various shades of green for our leaves.   After playing with colors and various tips, I was too lazy to change back to the basket weave tip so my cake this week did not feature it... I want to try it next week just so I can make sure I can actually make it look nice on a cake.

Here are some pictures!
