Archaeology Grad Cake for Heather

My church, St. Paul's United in Bowmanville recently held a virtual auction.  I donated a cake to be auctioned off.  The winner could choose the flavour and decoration.  Heather's mom had the winning bid and promptly ordered a cake to celebrate Heather's graduation.



Heather's request was for a chocolate cake with salted caramel filling and icing.  A personal favourite combination of mine.  I cut out in vinyl and paper from my Cricut Air machine the giraffe (a request from Heather) and added a graduation cap, Trent University logo and the lettering.  I had Mr. T go out to Bulk Barn to find me the chocolate rocks that I sprinkled on the top of the cake (over the dirt, a.k.a. crushed Oreos) and set around the base as well.


The scroll, trowel and book I made out of fondant.  On the book I added a few archaeology quotes:

"History may be accurate, but archaeology is precise."
"Archaeology holds all the keys to understanding who we are and where we come from."

Also, learned how to spell archaeology!

Mr T and I took a nice drive out to Bowmanville to deliver the cake to a very happy mom.  Yay!  

Congratulations Heather!
