Graduation Cap Cake |
The mortar board - (a piece of cardboard) was covered in white fondant and iced with a cornelli lace design in royal icing. A sugar rose holds the fondant cord and royal icing makes the tassle (using a grass tip). It was then painted with gold luster dust. The hat part was covered in white fondant and then decorated with a cornelli lace design in royal icing, hand painted small sugar flowers, were then inserted into every other shell on the border. The base cake was covered in white fondant. Shell border. The diploma was made from white chocolate fondant and rolled with an embossing pin. Then it was painted with lustre dust (pearl white). Intials of the graduate in royal icing and then painted with gold lustre dust. This cake was such a hit that the graduate is going to place the mortar board and diploma in a shadow box and hang it on her wall. |

Andrea's Graduation Cake |
After the letter "L" was complete, I made two 8" round cakes, cooled and stacked them with fudge icing in the middle, then carved them to resemble the bottom portion of the graduation cap. I covered them with black fondant and trimmed the bottom with black icing. I cut out the square top using cardboard covered in black fondant. I secured the cardboard to the base of the cap using a skewer...fastened the tassel (a 2008 key chain sized tassel) to the skewer and topped the skewer with a button-sized ball of black fondant. I finished with personalizing the graduation cap with her name and Class of 2008. |
