Cake for UMSL Graduation Party

    A simple sheet cake was easily transformed into a splendid tribute to our graduate. The chocolate fudge cake with vanilla icing sported the school seal, which I found online and printed on card stock. Fittingly, the school colors are red and gold (translated to an organic orange which happens to be Christa's favorite color), so it was a no-brainer choosing the decorating palette. Orange tableclothes and balloons completed the scheme, and dressed up the park pavilion nicely. I was afraid the ninety degree temperature and the gusty winds would play havoc with my artistic endeavors but I only detected a little droop of the icing (and a few runaway balloons.)
