Graduation cakes...

I have been asked to make a cake for a family friend , for her graduation. She wanted something simple so I came up with this. The cake is a zingy lemon cake, filled with lemon buttercream and then covered in lemon cream and white sugarpaste. The mortarboard and scroll are also made from sugarpaste. I have written the text on with black food colouring.

As well as the cake I made some cupcakes and decorated them with marzipan mortarboards and some printed discs of paper attached to cocktail sticks.
