    another amazing creation Archana. I wish I could see them in person (I dont think I would have eaten them, bcos they are very very beautiful. cutting them would be a disaster :D ).

  7. your fresh fruit looks even fresher with this fabulous "basket"! Did you use dairy or non-dairy whipped cream? When I lived in Asia, I was so use to the taste of non-dairy cream taste... in here, I see many home bakers tend to use dairy cream more.
    I think you've provided a link in your post (or I'm wrong?), but when I clicked on "here", nothing comes up.

    Thank you for your words of encouragement, I appreciate it a lot. Next time when you are visiting the US, include Oregon in the itinerary; there will be a cake waiting for you here.

    Vineela
    Thank you friend.

    Shilpa,

    Thank you, I am truly flattered.

    Gattina
    Thank you so much. I use diary whipping/heavy cream for making whipped cream. I have used nondairy whipped topping occasionally, but not for cakes. I have corrected it now; let me know if it is not working.

    Madhu,Revathi,
    Thank you so much

    Peeya, Mary
    Thank you so much for visiting Spicyana, thanks a bunch for these kind words

    Thank you so much. This cake was made for a barbecue. So ~20-25 friends shared it.

    Alright, will keep that in mind. Thank you

    Thank you

    RP
    Thank you. A shawl! It is really easy to do RP, try it out sometime.

    Oh, sure, sure… Thank you. I think it was just plain vanilla butter cream with a tinge of lemon and orange flavors (just enough to give a feeling of freshness). Basket weave requires sturdy icing, so I was left without much choice.

    Tamana
    Thank you

    Annita
    Thanks a bunch dear …

    Pushpa, ISG
    Thank you so much friends.
