Like any special occasion cake there are many brilliant graduation cake decorating ideas. Clearly you need to prepare an excellent base cake first. Once you have done that you can get to work on using some of the excellent graduation cake decorating ideas that exist. These ideas include using photos, edible ink, shimmer dust, food coloring spray, great designs and the basic item which is frosting.
First off you do need to have a great basic cake. That would be in the right flavor, of the right size and shape for your occasion. Then there are lots of cake designs in good cookbooks and online which you can use. I do prefer making the cake myself rather than using cake mixes or ones bought from a store. Clearly you need to adjust the ingredient quantities to suit the number of guests. You also need to choose a cake flavor that will delight the graduate and the guests. Chocolate and vanilla cakes will be universally liked. However a ginger flavored cake may not suit everyone. At this stage you may have a shape of cake in mind in which case you can create the shape using a cake pan or precisely cutting the cake.
Graduation cake decorating ideas can be focussed on the graduate, the graduation, the stage of schooling, the graduates interests or even the kindergarten , school or college itself. I think the focus should start with the graduate since it is their achievements that are being celebrated. I do however love the idea that the themes are mixed with graduation and if possible the school.
The design itself is the important thing as the cake decorating ideas will be led by the design. There are so many decorating tools that any design can be brought to life. Some example of graduation cake decorating ideas can illuminate the point. For our daughters kindergarten graduation we decided to make a rainbow effect cake. We baked a normal vanilla flavoured square shaped cake, which was covered in white frosting. Then we added red, blue and green balloons in fondant. We added congratulations Sarah in red frosting with final touches of small fondant w scroll with red ribbon and a cap. Finally we added a rainbow effect using food coloring spray. I used a similar approach to my husbands college graduation cake. His cake had a cap and scroll made of fondant, Congratulation Eddie written in edible beads and I added shimmer dust.
I had thought of using a photo or writing in edible pens but I chose simple graduation cake decorating ideas that time.
