The graduation cake

After finishing off the wedding cake, I still had another cake to do, for a graduation party.  There is a definite learning curve for cakes – but after 3 years, I’ve started getting the hang of sheet cakes.  This one should be good to put any graduating high school senior into chocolate coma:

He’s going to Penn State, class of 2012.  The blue color is fresh and will darken closer to the Nittany Lion blue overnight.  Chocolate cake with rich chocolate ganache filling and icing, oooooooh baby.  I love how smooth ganache can be.  The decorations are made with simple decorator buttercream (shortening).  This was a fun quickie compared to the monster wedding cake!
