College Graduation Cake
This cake was for my older cousin who graduated from college. It was a vanilla sponge with custard and strawberries. The cake was covered in whipped cream and had some gumpaste flowers on it. The base of the hat was a small chocolate cake for my grandma who couldn't eat the strawberries in the rest of the cake!
Beautiful cake!! How did you make the mortar for the hat?? Cardboard iced? :)
thank you. The top piece for the hat is cardboard covered in tissue paper. I made the tassle from embroidery thread and stuck it on there with a ball of fondant.
very nice job!
Very pretty.
The cake is beautiful. I like the colorful trimming you have on it and the borders are also pretty. What side cake is this? Cause I need to make a graduation cake for my newphew, which will be in June 2005. Also, is it a two layer cake? Thank you!
Very nice!!
Your cake is really nice! Did you use an impression mat for the sides of the cake?
no actually i used a grout spreader. It is like a cake comb, but the cut outs look like a castle top. I bought it at a hardware store just for this purpose. It even has different size cutouts on each side but is a square! I liked it because it gave me a different look on the side, more 3-D i think
Beautiful Cake
The cake is the largest square pan of the Wilton set (16"x16" i believe). There is 2 layers of the vanilla sponge cake and one layer of filling. Thank you all for the nice comments!
