Here is a graduation cake I made today. I am a couple cakes behind, but this handsome graduate begged not to wait. The mascot for the school is the Scorpion. Kind of gross I have to say. Have you seen a real scorpion??? I have. I would like to forget it!
At least this one tastes good ;0)
The order was for a Chocolate PeanutButter cake. I made a chocolate cake, then filled it twice with my recipe for buckeye balls + whole milk to thin it out a bit.
Here is my scorpion. I think I will call him...Fabio {Madison picked it-Don't look at me :0} Fabio's body was made from rice crispie treats, the arms, legs, and tail are a foundation of wire, all of them covered in black marshmallow fondant.
Here is the compromising view {bashful smile}
I painted the middle portions with pearl glaze to make the look of different textures.
Do you like the graduation cap??? It is probably cheesy, but I thought it was fitting :0)
I covered the top of the cake with orange fondant, the sides with chocolate frosting smooshed with chopped peanut butter cups.
Do you like my border??? No, I am not overly proud of my graduation cake!
I LOVE the tiny caps and diplomas boarder. Love.
So this is a special cake for a very special graduate...
Congratulations Again SKYLER!!!
WoHooo!
Everyone LOVED the cake. I especially loved that the scorpion was wearing a graduation cap, it's those little things you know? ;) And I don't know if you meant it this way but the Reese's on the side are like a rock wall which is perfect with the scorpion and everything. Loved it all! Plus it was so yummy! The chocolate/peanut butter has definitely become my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI took one look at that cake and thought 'Yikes! That is one awful looking scorpion!' Meaning that it looked so REAL, that it was freaking ME out! lol And I just LOVE the graduation hat! Too funny! I actually didn't see it at first... I only saw it halfway down the post. I even laughed out loud! Well done!
