Another Graduation Cake

This cake was made for a friend of mine who was graduating with his MBA from Wake Forrest.  He wanted the cake made with his school logo on it.  It took me a bit to figure out how to make the logo because its a little involved!  I ended up using black fondant for the black and white fondant with luster dust on it for the gold color.  I also made a graduation cap out of the black fondant and a diploma out of white gum paste.  I really liked how the colors on the cake really popped!  Everyone loved the look and the flavor.  I made a Classic Carrot Cake with a Cream Cheese Filling.  You can't beat the classics!

UNCC Graduation Cake

This cake was made for some UNCC students who were graduating.  I was sent the school colors to match for the cake.  They were very happy with the cake and said I got the colors just right!  They chose to have our seasonal Pumpkin Pecan Cake with our seasonal Eggnog Creme Filling.  This was a two tier cake--the bottom tier was a 10 inch cake, and the top tier was a 6 inch cake.  It was iced in Buttercream Frosting with fondant/gum paste details  The stars, cap and diploma were edible.
