On Saturday, my sister and I worked together to make a Graduation cake for a family friend. We were kind of at a loss since the girl who would receive it does not like anything girly yet she requested circles, stars and a pretty feminine design (though being adamant she didn't want a girly cake). What to do? We tried a couple of things and then decided to nix them since all of our efforts were turning cutesier after the other.
My smart sister had a brilliant idea though ... why not incorporate something the graduate likes! And what could that be, you ask?
Why, skulls of course!
And look, there are little Jack's everywhere! Let me tell you, if I had been given this cake (or made this cake) for my graduation I would have been over the moon. Le sigh, it was tough to even let this baby go. I was so ready to snatch a few "Jack's" and hide them in my pocket but I decided to let me sister keep the extras in case there were any accidents on the way to the party.
This is definitely a design we will need to repeat again in the future. Congrats, 2010 Graduates!
