Andrea's cake once again :)

I was asked by Andrea to do a different type of cake; this time to have a fruit inspired cake. So I thought about it for awhile, and came up with a great idea. All of the cake was all new techniques that I never did before so it was very fun. I did a yellow cake with tropical fusion jello mix in it. Next the icing I used a whipped chocolate icing which I never made before. The key with that is to have everything cold so use a wire whisk and a metal bowl. The next is to do a basket weave on the cake side with a fork since my baking stuff is at home. The last thing is to do a basket handle with melted chocolate without a mold. This all came out great, until the basket handles are too big, so I used chocolate twizzlers for the rim and the handles. Since it is late in the season for fruit I could only found strawberries and grapes. I worked with I found and came out with an awesome cake.
