Steve and I attended a fun high school graduation party Saturday night. The cake was something to see. And eat!
Graduate Grace’s Aunt Suzanne baked and decorated this elaborate and tasty creation. Made with a whole lot of love!!
The bottom half was Anniversary Cake, vanilla cake made with buttermilk. The top layer a homemade chocolate cake. Then seedless raspberry preserves in between the layers, topped with rich chocolate buttercream icing. Lehigh was spelled out in white rolled fondant lettering, cut with an x-acto knife.
Not only did it look good but it tasted delicious. Aunt Suzanne said the Anniversary Cake called for almond extract but you could use vanilla or lemon zest to flavor it.
Happy High School Graduation Grace and all the best as your start your college life at Lehigh…
and great job on the cake, Aunt Suzanne!
