The Graduate

This is a picture of the latest cake that I have made.  It is not  near as pretty as the young lady sitting next to it, but  I was pleased.  :-)  I made this for my "baby" sister this past weekend for her high school graduation celebration.  She asked for zebra stripes, hot pink, and gerber daisies and was very happy with how it turned out.  You cannot tell very well from the photo, but it is also a topsy turvy cake, and new technique that I have been working on.  I felt it fit w/ the whimsy of the zebra strips.  The cake was a dark chocolate fudge cake w/ cream cheese filling and iced in cream cheese.  The zebra strips and decorative pink and black balls are made w/ fondant.  I had so much fun making this for my sister.  Congratulations Emily, I love you!
