Graduation cake pans will help make your cake look really unique and really fit the occaision. You could also use it to make a jelly. Help it to slip out easily by just dipping the pan in boiling water for a few seconds.

 

Can I Freeze My Graduation Cake?

You can freeze your cake. It should last up to three months in the freezer. To freeze the cake simply wrap it in a few layers of cling film or seal in a freezer bag.
Cakes sometimes become a little soggy if allowed to defrost too quickly so for best results, leave it in its wrapping and allow it to defrost overnight in the fridge. The next day, remove from the fridge and take out of the wrapping to let it come up to room temperature for an hour or so before decorating it.

Graduation Cake Storage

graduation cake carrier - good for graduation cupcakes too!
Single Cake or Cupcake Carrier

There are a few cake storage tips you need to consider in order to keep your cake fresh for as long as possible:

- Store the graduation cake in a covered box or container out of direct sunlight as the sunlight will alter icing colours.
- Heat and humidity can soften the buttercream and icing used so keep your decorated cake as cool as possible, and in a box or container if possible.
- Try not to use tinfoil or cling film to cover a decorated cake as this can sometimes stick to icing and damage any decorations you may have used.

How Do I Know When My Cake is Cooked?

To check your cake is completely cooked, insert a very thin knife into the centre of the cake for a couple of seconds and then remove. If the knife comes out wet and sticky then the cake needs a few more minutes. If the blade comes out clean, then your graduation cake is ready.

 

Graduation cap cakes are no doubt extremely appropriate to make for a graduation celebration.

There are various different ways you could tackle a cake with a graduation cap. Hopefully some of the suggests below will give you inspiration or ideas.

Super Easy Graduation Cap Cake


You can see from this picture how easy it would be to create a graduation cap cake just like this.

super easy graduation cap cake


Basically all you need is the following:

  1. A nice cake board - I prefer silver or you could even cover it in fondant icing.
  2. Make a round cake and cover it in white ready-to-roll fondant icing which you'll find in most super markets.
  3. The top part doesn't need to be edible. I'd just use some cardboard cut into the shape of a square and cover it in fondant icing.
  4. The tassel could be made from - you guessed it - fondant icing with food coloring kneaded into it and rolled into two long sausage shapes that are then twisted together. Just score the bit at the end with a knife to make it look stringy.
  5. I 'd leave the flowers off on top and instead use the space to write a personalized message - edible pens are a great option if you are not too good at piping.
    The scroll is easy - just roll out some fondant icing, cut into a rectangle, roll it up and secure with a little ribbon.
  6. Add a little graduation cake topper that can be found on ebay to complete the look.

Graduation Cap Cake Cutters


You could knead some color into fondant icing, roll it out and then use this cutter to create a graduation cap shape that can then be placed on top of the cake. You could then pipe some detail on top of it for the tassel etc.
You could also wet the fondant icing slightly with a clean brush dipped in water and sprinkle some cake shimmer dust over the top - this would look amazing.

Graduation Cap Cake Pattern


If you would like to transpose a perfect outline image of a graduation cap of any size you desire onto the top of your graduation cake then this section will tell you exactly how to achieve this.

Click on this link to get a cake pattern of a graduation cap and scroll.

Now use the following instructions to transpose the image onto your cake.

If you want to resize the image then there are a number of ways you can do this.

One way is to right click on the image and select copy. Next, open up a new doc in your word processing tool - I use MS Word and right-click your mouse again and select "paste". This will paste the image onto your doc. Now click on the image and little squares will appear in the corners. Click you mouse on one of the squares and drag your mouse inwards to reduce the image or outwards to increase it. Now simply print.

Now for the steps to transpose the image to your cake:

  • Using a pin around the outline of the image every so often so that the back of the paper has a "Braille like" look.
  • Next, lie the paper on your cake bumpy side down and smooth it with your hand lightly pressing down.
  • When you remove the paper, you will have the pricks slightly indented into the cake giving you a
    pattern to follow.
