All Las Vegas Cakes

Twins in the family? Or perhaps best friends who simply want to celebrate their mutually-achieved diplomas in one event? Whatever the case, this cake is made to please two-count-'em-two new graduates. This rectangular cake, covered in smooth white fondant, is all about the accessories. Two separate mortarboard caps - one on each side of the classically-piped "Congratulations" greeting - give each former student a place to make their own. For him, a replica of his team jersey and a football at the base. For her, a collection of 'necessities' (in this case, in the form of nail polish and make-up). A rolled and tied diploma lies between the hats - and emphasizes the singular goal of both: To make it through to graduation day!
