Graduation Cake Decorating Ideas - how to celebrate the occasion

My friend Ellie’s son Mike recently graduated from law school. We looked everywhere for an appropriate cake to celebrate the occasion.

In the search I found Flickr.com and there we found the perfect cake design for Mike’s graduation celebration.

Ellie made a book cake without using a mold. It looked like a real book. She had used a very thin pointed knife to “draw” pages in the book. I made a gavel from a pretzel rod and a piece of cake and Mikey’s mom located the scales of justice at a flea market. We then rolled a piece of parchment and tied it with a thin piece of ribbon. Everyone who saw the cake at first glance thought that the book was real.

For my granddaughter who “graduated” from preschool we baked a cake in a ceramic bowl and a very thin square cookie to create the board for the cap. We did manage to use the mom’s HS tassel to create the look. Our cap was purple which has always been Sherry’s favorite color.

There are molds that you can use to make graduation cap cakes a bit easier and your biggest concern is to get the icing spread smoothly.

If you have a friend or relative who is graduating from a career school in the medical field why not decorate your cake with the symbols of that field, a toy syringe or stethoscope, a toothbrush and dental mirror.

Maybe your son-in-law or nephew is about to graduate from the police or fire department academy. Make your cake a uniform, hat and maybe a badge. Or even better make the cake a police car or fire truck.

There are dozens of graduation cake ideas available on the internet that will inspire you to create unique cakes that your guests will love.
