{Roll Tide}

My sister graduated with her Master's from the University of Alabama this summer, and we had a graduation party for her. I made her a semi-crimson-cake to celebrate her Bama pride. The attempt at burgundy turned out a little more brown and purple than anticipated. Eh. Good first attempt at a red-type color.

{The chocolate letters spell "congraduations," which Emily wanted represented somewhere :}

{The happy graduate with the lovely pastry}

My other party contribution: Candy Graduation Caps
