It's Graduation Season...the finale

Well I ended graduation season off with making 2 cakes, one for my daughter who's going to high school, and the other for my niece who's going to Kdg. I don't cover many cakes in fondant and I don't make very many tiered cakes. I can, but don't have a big request for them, sooooo...yep, you gussed correctly. I did both; fondant and tiered! Well, for my daughter only. I made her a 2 tier; 6" (2 layer) Strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream, and a 9" (2 layer) Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. To decorate, I put edible pearls around the bottom of each tier and letter cut-outs that read CONGRATS CLASS OF 2015. I topped off the 6" tier with a graduation cap and tassel with her name on it. For my niece I kept it simple, it's a 1 layer Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that read ABC, 123, 2015 and a grad cap with tassel, I thought it was adorable! Any who, here are the pics! Excuse the mini cake, I was so late for the party (4th of July / surprise grad party), that I didn't have time to smooth the frosting completely...YIKES...LOL!




It's Graduation Season continued...

My cousin just recently graduated with her Masters and threw herself an awesome grad party! Sigh...can't wait until I'm done with my Masters, I want to pull my hair out!!! Anyway, she asked me to cater the desserts for the party!!!!! Whoo Hoo! Since it was an adult only affair, what better way to celebrate than with adult like desserts? We decided on shooter cup desserts (Peach Cobbler and Key Lime Pie Cake), Red Velvet Cake Pops and Chocolate Covered Strawberries (some were infused). It literally took me all day to finish the order and I was tired out of my mind!!! But I did pull myself together enough to make it to the party :-)



Sorry...I didn't get an opportunity to take chocolate covered strawberries pics!
