This was my second attempt at a grad. cake. It was a diseaster from start to finish! Everything seemed to go wrong. I made the cap, stars, and diploma out of MMF. I wasn't planning on making the diploma but after my royal icing letters didn't get hard enough, and trying to write directly on the cake failed miserably...I remembered seeing on here people had made the diplomas so I gave it a try! I think it turned out okay. Thank God for this site:)
