Last Minute Graduation Cake

Last minute Graduation cake order! Phew! It's amazing what you can do in three hours!!! I went along the same line as my Grad Book Cake but a bit more simplified. The boy that graduated is going to be studying to be a Construction General Contractor, so that's why I made all the tools. Cake is a 1/4 marble sheet cake with buttercream frosting and base of grad cap is chocolate covered in buttercream then MMF. All decorations are made of MMF.
I cheated! I put it in the freezer after a bit of rack cooling! I did taste it later and it was yummy...so no harm in doing that!
looks wonderful..all of the details are great!
3 hrs? Wow, how did you get the cake to cool down so fast?
I must be really slow...how did you ever get the MMF cap and scroll etc. all done and dry in that amount of time? What am I doing wrong?
I made the scroll first!! Then, took a piece of cardboard and wrapped fondant around that for the cap top! The rest was easy. Didn't have to dry, really!
