Graduation time is upon us. I was asked to make this cake for my husbands cousins graduation party last year. I have always made my kids birthday cakes but have never made a cake for a large party before. I was very honored and a little nervous to say the least. Here is how they turned out.
I made 6 cakes total. 3 white and 3 chocolate. The cake mixes were roughly $.88 each. The frosting was a bit more expensive because I bought it already made. I think the total cake costs around $15 to make. I know now for future large cake orders I will find my own butter cream recipe to make (which I did finally, I posted the recipe
here). That would cut the cost even more.
Anyone have any great icing recipes they want to share?

The cakes look great!!! The only tip I have heard is to stick your cakes/cupcakes in the freezer for about 20 minutes before you frost them. I took a cake decorating class at the local craft store, it was lot of fun and didn't cost more then $25.00 - that be something to consider taking. Again the cakes look great. Leene
ReplyDeleteClass of 2009??? Hmmm... cakes look great! That is one talent God definitely forgot to give me.
ReplyDeleteYou have definately inspired me! I made my son's birthday cake this year and used a buttercream transfer that I saw on this site ahwile ago. And for some reason I never thought to put several cakes together for a large sheet cake appearance! What a great idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love it, very nice and classy looking. Way to go.
