Hi! I am in need of ideas for a graduation cake for a grown man. It needs to be 2 tiered round, finished in bc, but the rest is up to me. My concern is it will look like a wedding cake with the bc being white. The college colors are blue(like royal blue) and gold. I don't have to necessarily use those colors, and really, I'd rather not! How can I make this cake not look so "wedding-ish". Thanks for any help!
How about adding a blue grad cap to the top tier, and gold stars on the sides? Then you could do a gumpaste plaque with Congrats and his name, or the school logo. What is the logo? That might help us with ideas...
Do you know what his major was? I still think a grad cap (maybe black) on top would help it not look wedding-ish..
I would start by making the tiers NOT round. For me, square is a more masculine shape. The cap is a nice touch, but you could also make a fondant "diploma". Very easy...curl the ends for effect and add a "ribbon" around it with the year of his gradualtion. Does the cake have to be white? This too can eliminate the bridal feel. 
Whatever you end u[ with I'm sure it will be the hit of the party
