Steps:
- 1. Melt the chocolate almond bark in a double boiler. Peel all wrappers off of the miniature peanut butter cups. Unwrap the Hershey's chocolate bars, carefully snap them off into 2 section squares (one candy bar will make 4 squares and there will be a row left over to save for future uses.... or nibble away now!)
- 2. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Place the Hershey's chocolate squares flat side down on the wax paper. Dip the bottom of a peanut butter cup into the chocolate bark, set it onto a Hershey's square. Repeat this process until all are done. Let them set to harden.
- 3. Turn each of the candies over with the flat side of the Chocolate square on top and the peanut butter cup on the bottom.
- 4. Cut the Twizzlers into desired length to form tassels for the Graduation Caps (1-1/2 inches). Pull the strands apart. Dip the tips of the Twizzlers into the chocolate bark and place onto the top of the Graduation Caps. Repeat until all are done. Let sit to allow chocolate bark to harden.
- 5. Either use the Wilton Lollipop Sticks or the Mainstays Bamboo Skewers as the sticks.... (if using skewers, use the flat end to poke into candy... and use the pointed end to put in arrangements) Put the stick of choice into the peanut butter cup part of the Graduation Cap. Take a Wilton's Treat Bag and put the Graduation Cap inside. At this point, you can use clear tape, curling ribbon or other devise to secure the bag closed. Repeat until all are done.
- 6. *** These can be used as a decoration on a food table, as a party favor, or as a graduation gift! My photos show some possibilities, *** Plastic Vases, rocks, marbles and paper grass. (all from dollar store ... rocks from hardware store). *** We make the vases up for a graduate, put in the Graduation Caps (as in photo), we present this to the graduate instead of roses... sometimes we add a couple balloons.
Tips:
- Choose the right cake base: For a classic graduation cap cake, a round or square cake is ideal. You can also use a sheet cake and cut it into the desired shape.
- Level your cake layers: Before decorating your cake, make sure to level the layers so that they are even. This will help the cake look neat and professional.
- Use a smooth frosting: A smooth frosting will help the fondant or icing adhere better to the cake. You can use a buttercream frosting, cream cheese frosting, or ganache.
- Cover the cake in fondant or icing: Fondant or icing will give your cake a smooth, polished look. You can color the fondant or icing to match your school colors or the graduate's personality.
- Add the graduation cap decorations: The most important part of the graduation cap cake is the decorations. You can use edible images, fondant, or even candy to create the tassel, mortarboard, and diploma.
Conclusion:
A graduation cap cake is a delicious and festive way to celebrate a graduate's special day. With a little planning and effort, you can create a cake that is both beautiful and delicious. So get creative and have fun!
