Instructions
Frost the Cake:
Ice your cake in buttercream frosting, smoothing it out for a clean, even surface.
Use a piping bag to pipe a decorative border around the edges of the cake with coordinating buttercream.
Create the Collegiate Letters:
Melt the candy coating according to the package instructions.
Fill the cavities of the collegiate letter molds with the melted candy coating.
Tap the molds gently to release any air bubbles.
Place the filled molds in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Remove Letters from Molds:
Take the molds out of the freezer when they appear cloudy and the candy releases easily.
Let the letters come to room temperature before handling them further.
Attach Sucker Sticks:
Melt some additional candy coating.
Attach sucker sticks to the back of each collegiate letter using the melted candy coating.
Allow the candy coating to set, securing the sticks in place.
Paint the Letters:
Use poppy paint in your desired colors to paint the collegiate letters.
Allow the paint to dry completely.
Decorate the Cake:
Carefully place the painted collegiate letters on top of the cake, positioning them as desired.
Add the graduation cap and diploma decorations to complete the look.
