For the past few years my Foods 20/30 class has been responsible for creating the Grad Cake. This year we tried to tie the grad cake to the theme of the dry grad, which was Greece. I'm not sure who's idea it was but we ended up trying to produce a cake that looked like the Parthenon. We used 8 recipes of chocolate cake, 3 recipes buttercream, containing 36 cups icing sugar, plus 2 recipes fondant icing, containing another 4 lbs icing sugar. We also made one recipe of pastiage for the picture frame and grad sign. We ended up with a pretty good cake but more importantly, had fun doing it and learned something about cakes in the process. Thanks to all the students who were involved. Nice job!! |
