'Law Books' - Graduation Cake

..this cake was created to be given as a gift to a student who had just graduated law school.
The specs for this cake were; a mini-cake, a stack of books in a variety of colours, and a girl in cap and gown.
I love any opportunity to do mini-cakes, I love the idea of giving such a personalised gift. My first cakes were mini and I usually make 'sibling' cakes alongside each cake which are more often then not given to my cake-obsessed brother-in-law!! (photos to follow)

so, the cake...
...I decided to make the cake itself into the stack of books so each 'book' is 4"x 3" chocolate fudge cake with milk chocolate ganache frosting.

 ...the topper is a large 3" model made from sugarpaste and was kept by one happy graduate!

...three books were made but I felt the cake looked better with only two stacked. The third was given to the client as a sibling cake for them to include in the gift if they chose to.
