EASTER BASKET CAKE
Very festive for the Easter holiday! Instead of using the candy to decorate the basket, I've also used milk chocolate icing or colored the vanilla icing to match the handle then used a fork to gently rake a basket type woven look into the sides of the cake.

Place the ring layer on top of the frosted layer, and frost the sides and top of the basket. Decorate the sides and top by pressing candy pieces into the frosting.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and one 8-inch square pan.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Combine white sugar, 1 cup butter, and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until soft and fluffy. Beat in flour mixture alternately with cold water until batter is combined. Beat in eggs 1 at a time.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Invert onto wire racks and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Trim one of the round cakes by 1 inch using a serrated knife. Cut a 5-inch circle, about 1/2-inch deep, out of the second round cake. Cut the square cake so it measures 8 inches on the diagonal.
- Place square cake layer on a large cake plate. Spread half of the raspberry preserves on top. Cover with the 8-inch round cake. Spread remaining raspberry preserves on top. Add the 9-inch round cake layer, positioning it so the hole is in the center.
- Whisk 1 cup butter in a bowl until creamy. Whisk in confectioners' sugar gradually, alternating with milk, until frosting is smooth. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 pinch salt. Whisk in cocoa powder until frosting is evenly mixed.
- Spread frosting around the sides of the cake. Spread frosting over the top cake layer but leave the hole unfrosted. Make horizontal marks over the frosting with an icing knife to create a basket look.
- Mix 1 tablespoon water and green food coloring together in a bowl. Add coconut; toss until evenly coated with green food coloring. Pour into the hole on top of the cake. Cover coconut with chocolate eggs.
- Cut out a strip of cardboard that measures 1x18 inches. Grip it with both hands at one end; run your thumbs down the strip in opposite directions to create a smooth, rounded shape. Wrap handle well with aluminum foil.
- Insert handle into the cake. Cover aluminum foil with a thin layer of frosting. Make horizontal marks over the frosting with an icing knife to create a basket look.

EASTER BASKET CAKE
Steps:
- Make the handle:
- Separate the fondant into 2 pieces. Place 1 to 2 drops of pink color into half, and the purple into the other half. Knead the fondant until the color is uniform and the desired shade. Roll each color into a 14-inch long 1/4-inch thick rope. Roll the ropes together to create a "braided" effect. Curve the fondant so it will arc over the angel food cake basket. Lay on a flat surface and allow to dry overnight, until solid and firm.
- Cut the top off the angel food cake horizontally so the cake is an even basket shape. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, enlarge the center hole.
- Frost the entire cake with white frosting. Press cookies vertically around the outside of the cake to give it a basket look.
- Fill the inside hole of the cake with Easter candies. Affix the handle onto the cake by pressing into the cake.
- Spray with cake decorating spray.

EASTER BASKET CAKE
This is a real showstopper that almost turns a cake into an Easter basket with basket-weave piping on the sides, grass on top, and Easter candies, jelly beans (representing eggs), and chocolates filling the basket on top. I've got to be honest with you, this cake isn't a walk in the park: The basket-weave piping takes real skill and precision, so this is for more advanced cake decorators. However, if you have some experience with a pastry bag and turntable, or are a quick study, go for it and make this for your next Easter celebration. It's a fun, festive, unforgettable cake that might become a tradition for your family, as it has for mine.

Steps:
- For the chocolate fudge frosting: Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and paddle on low speed until smooth, with no lumps, approximately 3 minutes. With the motor running, add the sugar, one cup at a time, adding the next cup only after the previous
- addition is absorbed.
- Stop the machine and add the cocoa, vanilla, and salt. Paddle on low-medium speed until completely smooth, approximately 2 minutes. Add the water and continue to paddle until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Put the chocolate fudge frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a #48 interchangeable basket weave tip.
- For the white American buttercream: Combine the butter and shortening in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Sift in the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed to prevent the sugar from spilling out of the bowl. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the mixture aerates and becomes smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and turn down the speed to low.
- With the motor running on low speed, add the salt and slowly pour in the vanilla and oil in a thin stream. Increase the speed to medium and combine until the mixture is light, fluffy and smooth.
- For the green American buttercream: Put 3 cups White American Buttercream in a large bowl.
- Add a small amount of the green food coloring gel and combine with a rubber spatula until the cream is uniformly colored. Add more gel as you mix until the frosting is the desired shade of green.
- Put the green buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a #233 interchangeable grass tip.
- To assemble: On a turntable, prepare a double-layer cake of your choosing on a doily-lined cardboard circle, filling it with the filling of your choice.
- Put 3 cups of the White American Buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a #6 star tip. Dirty ice the cake with the buttercream by covering the cake with a thin layer to create a crumb coat.
- Take the chocolate fudge bag in hand, and working from bottom to top, using the straight side of the tip (the basket weave tip has a plain/straight side and a ruffled/serrated side), pipe vertical lines around the side of the cake, 1/8-inch apart, turning the turntable after each line.
- Next, starting at the bottom, and turning the turntable as you work, pipe horizontal bands over every other vertical line. Pipe another set of bands above the first set, piping them over the lines you skipped on the first level.
- Continue in this fashion, piping over alternating sets of lines, until you have created a basket weave that covers the entire side of the cake.
- Take the green buttercream bag in hand and squeeze-and-pull grass around the border, letting the grass come slightly over the edge. Cover the entire top of the cake with grass.
- Top the cake with the jelly beans, Peeps, Reese's peanut butter cups, and other candies.

- Fit a large piping bag with a basket weave tip (such as Wilton No.47 tip) and fill piping bag with remaining icing. Pipe a basket weave pattern around sides of cake.
- Place coconut and a drop of green food coloring in a plastic ziplock bag; toss to combine. Transfer green coconut to the hole on top of cake, covering entire hole. Top coconut with candy eggs.
