ECU Topsy Turvy Graduation Cake!

It's a crazy week for Bakers everywhere! This weekend marks the beginning of college graduation season, Mother's Day on Sunday, birthdays, you name- it's happening this weekend (throw in a couple legs of a Half Iron Man and I might lose it entirely)!

ECU Topsy Turvy Graduation Cake!, originally uploaded by bakers-cakes.

At any rate, this cake proves that Mothers are the best! A mother ordered it for her daughter's graduation from East Carolina University! It is a Chocolate and Vanilla Marble Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting, topped with rolled fondant. The pirate is the recognizable ECU mascot and of course, the purple and black school colors. I admit I am now addicted to my gerbera daisy cutters, but they added a sweet feminine touch to this cake!
