Graduation Cake

This cake was made for Taylor's High School graduation from Poway High in June (I told you I was behind!). The cake was a marble cake with a chocolate buttercream covered in white fondant. I also made green velvet cupcakes with vanilla bean cream cheese frosting adorned with chocolate sprinkles and plastic caps. I loved the diploma and cap on the cake the best, even though I have since learned that next time I paint with food coloring I need to use lemon extract or vodka because it dries faster, there's a great tip for all you bakers out there!
