May and June in America is the season for graduation ceremonies. Studying for American university classes are as tough as the rumors you hear about them. It’s almost a storm of homework, reports, projects and tests. Therefore graduation is the ultimate freedom.
The star of graduation celebrations is always a large and flashy decoration cake. Similar to what you see at birthday celebrations.
There are various types of bases but usually it will be a giant square sponge of 60 or 70cm. After this comes the sugar icing or a butter cream icing which is smoothed all over the cake. The cake somehow transforms into a giant card.
You can buy the cake ready-made from the shop, but usually one would buy it plain and take it home where they would write a message to the person who is graduating. You can get them cheaply from supermarkets. Using tubes of various colored icings and chocolate chips, you can make the most elaborate designs.
Congratulations, or I love you, or even cream in the shape of flowers. They even sell all sorts of shapes and sizes of candles. On the cake you can put plastic animal miniatures or something that the person likes.
These kinds of cakes that are full-of-life are quite unlike anything you’d see in a cake shop’s chilled show case.
Sweets are a great way of telling someone how you feel. Don’t just write down your feelings on a post card, try doing it will the sweet, kind flavors of sweets. Sweets themselves are channels of happiness, the sweeter the message the better they come across. Don’t you think this is a good idea?
