I had some requests for pictures of the cakes I’ve been making, so thought I would share my latest cake I made for a high school graduation. My cakes are nothing fancy, but I have fun making them. I’m glad I have clients who are willing to allow me to learn on their cakes:) Love this football field cake!
This cake was a half sheet cake size and I only used fondant for the colored sections on top. The sides were just smoothed white buttercream frosting.

Cutting out the letters is definitely a tedious and frustrating job. I used an extremely sharp exacto knife and replaced the blades often so they cuts would be smooth and clean. I now understand why there is a Cricut for cutting fondant! If only I had the $350 to get one. I would have to be making a lot more cakes to justify buying something that awesome. Maybe one day when my kiddos are grown…..
