Actually, Anne, on this cake the basket weave in the back tapers down to the corner also.  What I did was one complete row all the way around the cake at the bottom.  On the second row, I start at corner one and skip or indented one basket weave space (I hope that makes sense).  I followed the second row around corner two and ended one basket weave space short on corner three.  Then I picked up the second row again on the other side of corner three skipping one basket weave space and continued around corner four.  I ended the second row with one space short at the other side of corner one.  I then completed around the cake decreasing one space from the previous row at the start and finish of corners three and one.  I hope this makes sense.  It's a lot harder to write out than it is to show or tell.  Thank you so much for your kind comment.  I hope this helps.

Thank you MrsAB!  Yes, the back corner is the same as the front.

Very creative!  Does the back corner resemble the front as well?
