I am making a cake for my son's kindergarten graduation ceremony. Again this is a cake that will be taken to school for EVERYONE to see. Not a cake for the party I'm planning at my house. I have searched through all the graduation pics with nothing catching my eye. They are for seniors graduating. I want to do a tiered cake with more of a juvenial theme. However, I don't really want to use primary colors on the cake because I think that will make it too gaudy. Do you agree or not?? Any ideas or suggestions??

Thanks,
Michele

I'm also doing a cake for my son's kindergarten graduation. I was thinking of doing a sheet cake with a graduation cap on it surround by diplomas with each child's name on it and the borders done in school colors.

Could you maybe make some of the books they've read in class this year or some of the letters or numbers on the cake?

Is there a special way they did anything that or did they achieve something with a fundraiser or something?

Here's some ideas

Hi there, when my som graduated from kindergarten. I'm not sure if it was store bought or homebaked, anyhow it was a sheet cake with the schools mascott on there. (A Bee) The school's name was Birney Elementary. So we were the Birney Bees. It was really cute. I don't remember what the saying was on the cake it was so long ago, but I do remember thinking Wow what a great idea.

SO, what did you finally decide to do for the cake? I am looking for ideas, too.

that on is comming up for me as well... any tips would be great

I think a tiered cake would be awesome for Kindergarten graduation....maybe with some little fondant chalk boards on the sides , some pencils, books, even crayons and glue...would be so adorable. Maybe even write on the front of the tiers or have a bigger chalk board for the topper that says First grade here we come!!

I've seen a cake that I intend to do if any school my kids go to do kindergarten graduation.... it's a sheet cake with a green top (like a chalkboard) and ABC 123 apples on it. then it has lines like the paper they use (with dashes in the middle) that says Congratulations Graduates on it and I have seen the same cake with a few backword letters on it I will see if I can find it..........


here it is... I found it on sugarcraft.com

of course you can change the colors, but I like the primary colors...however yes they can be gawdy.... change things about this cake, I know I will.......

Thanks for the picture. I will probably add some of the ideas but in different color.

Gracias!

Thanks again for your ideas. I finished the cake and I am pleased on how it turned out. My goal was too keep it still somewhat elegant looking.
The pic is in my photos.

I didn't see a picture of a graduation cake? Unless you haven't posted it yet?
