…then this is the cake for you! This cake was a special surprise for the author of a knitting blog called Sunshine’s Creations.  Her knitting designs are amazing- so I wanted to impress her with something realistic. I used Makin’s Ultimate Clay Extruder to make the fondant into yarn. A clay extruder is a less expensive alternative to a Sugarcraft Gun. I wrapped the “yarn” around some chocolate cake balls. 

For the basket texture I used an icing impression mat. Underneath the fondant lies a smooth and creamy layer of caramel frosting surrounding a scrumptious spice cake!
