2010 Graduation

This was a tough one!  The graduate's high school mascot was a tiger, with the colors green and orange.  The college mascot was a snake with the same orange and green.  So we tried to combine it!  It is a gumpaste snake and gumpaste numbers, adhered to wires that I stuck in the cakeboard. 

It was a small cake, with 10" and 6" tiers.  When I set it up, it looked amazing!  The fabulous event planner had orange and green tables, tiger balloons, green clappers to give to all the guests, and many other details all green and orange!  She is fantastic to work with!  If you are in the Orlando area and need a good event planner, for any event, her name is Tara Boatman.  Contact me and I can give you her info!

This was just a fun and cute one to do.  The colors were red, white and blue.  The venue was a really cute mexican restaurant.  I can't wait to go back for a meal!

Three Graduates and One Cake!

Three different graduates, three different colleges that they will attend and two different sports they were involved in! All that adds up to this cake! I haven't done that many human figures, so it was quite a learning experience for me. Next time I will definitely do them 1-2 weeks ahead of time. I was very happy to do the hair! I loved putting the ponytail on the little girl in the boat!

The mother of the coxswain was the one who ordered this cake. She was very excited to see the finished product. I think all the graduation cakes are done now, so now I am moving on to figure out how to make a sugar bottle of Red Stripe beer for a birthday coming up, should be interesting!
