Marjie created a drawing of what she wanted on her cake months before her graduation party.
I baked one White Almond Sour Cream Wedding cake exactly like the recipe and another one using the same recipe except using a chocolate cake mix instead of the white, then we alternated the layers so that each cake had a layer of chocolate and white.
We crumb coated each cake using white buttercream frosting shown below:
Then each cake was covered with white Fondant
We colored the remaining fondant Blue (High School Color) and Green (College Color) and cut out letters and circles to decorate cake. Yes my kitchen table was a mess - I'm not a neat baker!!
We used a paint brush and brushed on corn syrup on the back of each shape and letter to stick onto the cake.
Marjie used a red food color marker to add softball threads to cake topper.
The cake topper is made out of cake wrapped in yellow fondant and then topped with a blue graduation cap. The tassel was created by pressing fondant through a pasta maker, half white and half blue to look like the real one.
The diploma sitting next to the ball is also made from rolled fondant
There is a Bat and Home Plate placed between the layers and little balls of fondant are placed around each cake bottom.
Ta-Da!! The completed cake - not bad for our first multi-layer cake!!
