Ah, graduation. Diplomas, confetti, parties, gifts but best of all- cake. A close friend of mine recently graduated in the class of 2012 and I had the pleasure of making the cake. It was huge of course for a small one would not feed everyone at the party. Because she made the decision to go far away to The Ohio State University I decorated her cake in the infamous Ohio State "O" and Brutus The Buckeye. I also added her graduation year in the university's colors- red and grey- and mimicked the font of the "O".
(The entire completed cake.)
Now I'm pretty proud of the job I did on this. I was mimicking pictures I had found on the Internet like I normally do. I searched Google for what I wanted, printed it off, then sketched it into the icing with a toothpick. I wanted to add more detail to Brutus but he was so little I couldn't get in the minute details. Also, just a quick note, the thing between his legs is a towel that quarterbacks use to wipe their hands.
