Graduation cake

This cake was delicious and looked so nice 3 hours before we got there. but then the insides fell out a bit and the top slide off. i managed to put most of it back, lucky it was a PB&J sammie so it still looked good. the cake is lemon and raspberry cream filling and the grapes are mint cake truffles. I learn a lot each time i do a cake and this time i learned that if i am traveling with a cake over a long distance i need to assemble there or i need to cover the lot in fondant. So the first pics are of the cake b4 the trip and the last are the "disaster"




and then ...


but i was so happy cause, despite the cake becoming "difficult" it was devoured. there were 1/2 the grapes left and a single corner of the cake, 3inches or so. there were 2 sheet cakes there (store bought by other people ) that were hardly touched. I was definitely happy with it.

Also, because of it, i am making a wedding cake next month for 100ish people, just need to work out how much it will cost me. For now I plan, Hooray for cakes!!
