Sister-In-Law's College Graduation Cake

By jreimer

Sister-In-Law's College Graduation Cake on Cake Central

This is my first ALL fondant cake (besides Wilton class cakes). 10" and 6" rounds. Fondant daisies with gold dusted tips and centers. Fondant diploma and grad cap and tassel. Hint: make sure you have the tassel in the right position for the cake when you're making it ahead of time! I learned this today when my tassel was sticking almost straight out! Fortunately a quick zap in the microwave made it a little bendable for me. The diploma and cap are both dusted with pearl dust.

I love this. My sister is graduating next week from pharmacy school, and this is a great idea/inspiration for her cake. Is the cap cake too?

Thank you guys! No - the cap is actually hollow, all fondant
