Wow, this sounds like it would take forever. Are you against using BC?

Here is a video I found on Youtube. Looks like it will take a long time but it is possible...

Thanks Kathy, I searched you tube but didn't find anything! That is what I was looking for! I think I am going to try it on a practice cake hopefully this week!

I have just checked the link & its there in You tube. But looks like it will take a long time to do it in fondant. I have a basket weave design rolling pin.......u get a beautiful finish if u use it with fondant.

Hi I am actually looking at doing a basket weave with fodant for a cake, I was reserching it and came across this post. I was wondering if you ended up creating the practice cake you were talking about and how it worked for you? Looking forward to hearing from you, I'm very curious : )

I just watched the video. It didn't seem any more time consuming than the traditional way of BC - and less straining on the back, arms and hands!
Give it a try!!

I did make the basket cake & I decided to go with traditional BC basket weave on the sides. I was taking the cake to a friends house so I decided to just stick with tradition & not to add so much fondant. I would love to see your cake if you do fondant sides...there really aren't to many out there!

It seems like this should be easier than butter cream. Also it occurs to me, you could totally use strips of fondant to just weave a long narrow "scarf" and then just wrap it around your cake.

JJ- I was thinking the same thing - even if full length strips were to be too cumbersome, any comfortable length would be easier than 1 inch at a time.

Right- I think if you make your sheet of woven strips flat, then once they're assembled they should be no harder to handle than a sheet of fondant.
