Graduation Cake From Prep Bowls

This came across my email and I just can't find the directions for it. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Sorry, but no.
If it were me, I would just use the cake with a piece of iced cardboard sitting on the top for the cap. I'm not sure what I would use to the tassle. Give me a minute!

You could use a graham cracker square for the top of the mortarboard, and pull and peel type licorice to make a tassle.

Hubby has made a suggestion. He is an architect and is good at visual things like this.
He says that he would cut the top of the cake at an angle so that the iced cardbaord is slanted down touching the cake plate then you could just use icing to make the tassle as the fringed part is lying flat. It would look like the cap is on it's side. Then he says that he would use a refridgerated pie cust rolled and baked for the diploma. The icing could be used for the ribbon as well.
I hope that is clear. It really isn't that complicated but I'm not sure that I did a good job getting it across!

Oh wait! You said prep bowl! I was thinking batter bowl!
The graham cracker is a good idea! You could also use the Keebler cookies that are fudge dipped graham cracker and save yourself a step!

These sound like great ideas! I wish I knew someone graduating!
