My neighborhood has a ton of graduating seniors this year. Every street has several houses with balloons on the mailboxes and banners on the porches. It's such a special time for so many of the families here. This week, I completed the last 2 of the 3 graduation projects on my calendar for this year. Combined with birthdays and weddings, I have been slammed - but in such a good way.
The first project was for a very talented graduate in our neighborhood....a star swimmer and one of the coaches of our swim team. Her Mom asked me to help with the graduation party, and I immediately knew that I wanted to make a figurine of Olivia to place on top of the celebration cake. I was provided with a copy of the graduation invitation, and was able to create Olivia in her cap and gown with an exact match of the purple school color. And her tassel is a Twizzler!
Next was a cake for the son of a friend of a neighbor. I have received lots of business from referrals, and I thank all of those who have spread the word! The cake is a 5" tall, 3 layer White Almond Sour Cream with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream and fondant. I love the silhouette effect and especially the flying graduation caps.
Congrats to all of this year's graduates!
Confectionately yours!
This is a venture that comes from the very deepest part of me and encompasses many of the things that I love to do. Inspired by my late Puerto Rican grandmother, CREO means "I Create". My mission is to design cakes and other treats that are the perfect complement to your celebration, no matter what the occasion! I would love to design something special for you...just drop me a line!
that "hats off" cake is so cool! Awesome effect!
