Let’s make this graduation season extra special with cakes and sweet treats that capture the joy and excitement of the graduate’s momentous occasion!

High School Logo Graduation Cake

I loved making this high school logo graduation cake a few years ago! It was an 8- and 6-inch tiered cake with four cake layers each, with a large edible image of the high school logo. The acrylic nameplate was specially ordered. I created the c/o 2022 with my Cricut machine. The graduation cap is fondant, with a fondant gold tassel brushed with gold highlighter. I added some edible gold leaf and fancy sugar sprinkles to add a finishing touch.

Congrats Graduation Cake

Wilton’s Congrats grad cake inspired this high school graduation cake. I hand-made all of the fondant tassels with an Exacto knife. I used this letter fondant cutter set to create the letters.

Graduation Drip Cake

I created this graduation drip cake for a local high school graduate using their high school colors. I used a 3:1 ratio for the ganache drip (3oz candy melts and 1oz heavy cream) and painted it with edible gold (gold luster mixed with vodka).

College Graduation Letter Cake

I enjoyed making this letter graduation cake using my alma mater’s logo and colors!

Girly Graduation Cake

I created this cake for my niece’s graduation last year. She wanted a girly girly cake, so I purchased a custom image from Etsy and printed it using a cardstock technique (for the fondant to be peeled off when serving). I selected an image from Cricut Access and cut the cake topper with my Cricut.

I created this cake in collaboration with Kootek for this graduation season.

Pretty Graduation Cake

I loved making this gorgeous graduation cake with buttercream flowers. I used the Wilton Petal 81 piping tip and a small leaf piping tip to create these flowers.

Custom Graduation Cupcakes

Creating custom graduation cupcakes is one of my favorite orders! I made the cupcake toppers in Canva using their high school logo and colors, and had them printed by a local baker who does edible images. I can not find where I purchased the Congrats fondant embosser from. I used Sweet Stamp fondant embosser for the name.
