Graduation Is A Demanding Time Of The Year Inside The Cake Decorating Department

Graduation, whether from pre-school or college, holds special meaning to the graduate and his or her relations and friends. Bakeries add to this accomplishment by offering custom decorated cakes to assist make the celebration a success. Since the normal graduation season falls in the spring, along with plentiful bridal showers, weddings and anniversaries, this tends to be a very busy time for decorators and bakeries. This can be very important to plan ahead for this demanding time. The most popular decoration that we sell is the graduation caps, from Bakery Craft.

It is easiest to offer four to 6 standard graduation styles for patrons throughout the busiest weeks of the time of year. Provide a beautiful display of the cakes for customers to view. Draft the order blanks so clerks can note the design chosen and the correct colors and inscription. Cake designs may include a computer generated school emblem or photo on Edible Image, plastic caps, plaques, picks and diplomas, or icing arrangements. The next graduation designs are ideas to your display.

The plastic mortarboard cake is simple to execute and extremely convenient. We chose to demonstrate the look on a half sheet, but it may be easily customized for the full or quarter sheet cake.

1/2 sheet serves 24
full sheet serves 48

Base ice the cake, and comb the edges, making them even and removing excess icing. This also leaves a pleasant pattern about the sides. Score or cut through the cake as the customer requests, leaving a section in the middle for your plaque and the message. Add appropriate plastic picks towards the center of the pieces. Pipe a white shell border around the middle part, top and bottom edges using star tip No. 20. Add some multicolored sugar pieces as embellishment.
