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.
