Macrame-zing

When I think of macrame I think of this old plant holder we used to have in our house growing up when I was very young. It's often associated with older generations and 70's colors but guess what? Macrame is back and like you've never seen it before, modern, sophisticated and oh so gorgeous! In this cake tutorial Liz shows you step by step how to achieve this incredible macrame look and in far less time then you'd think it took to do it! And the sugar succulents? Yeah they are brand new and you can be one of the first ones to learn this amazing new take on the popular plant! You'll also learn different ways of achieving sharp edges on a square cake, basics are important too!
