Flower basket cake!

today I will get to bake a flower basket cake for my Gram's 80th Birthday. she's a bit of a space alien - but I love her! lol My vision is to create a low flower pot shaped base, with basket weave frosting all over (this will be my first attempt - wish me luck!) I'll top it with oreo crumbs for dirt, and punch the top with wooden sticks for flower stems and make mini cup-cakes for the flowers...Not sure if that's how my vision will come through...but we'll see?? LOL
