Debut cake or Graduation cake, 3 tier/layer, Round, 3 layer of different design

Creating a stunning 3-tier graduation cake can be a memorable centerpiece for celebrating academic achievements. Here's a general guide on how to make a 3-tier graduation cake:

Ingredients:

For the Cake Layers:

Your favorite cake recipes (enough for three tiers)
Buttercream frosting
Fondant (optional)

For Decoration:

Graduation-themed cake toppers (mini graduation caps, diplomas, etc.)
Edible markers or food coloring for details
Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional)

Instructions:

1. Bake the Cakes:

Prepare your favorite cake recipes in three different sizes to create three tiers (small, medium, and large). Use round cake pans for each tier.

2. Allow Cakes to Cool:

Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack before moving on to the decorating process.

3. Level and Stack Cakes:

Level the tops of each cake to ensure a flat surface. Begin stacking the cakes, placing the largest tier at the bottom, followed by the medium and small tiers. Use a thin layer of buttercream between each layer to secure them.

4. Crumb Coat:

Apply a thin layer of buttercream over the entire cake to create a crumb coat. This helps seal in crumbs and provides a smooth surface for the final layer of frosting.

5. Final Frosting:

Once the crumb coat has been set, apply a final layer of buttercream to achieve a smooth finish on each tier. Use a cake scraper for an even surface.

6. Fondant (Optional):

If you choose to use fondant, roll it out to cover each cake tier. Smooth the fondant over the cake using a fondant smoother for a polished appearance.

7. Graduation Theme:

Decorate each tier with graduation-themed elements. Use edible markers or food coloring to create details like graduation caps, diplomas, and congratulatory messages.

8. Cake Topper:

Place a graduation-themed cake topper on the highest tier for added flair. You can find mini graduation caps, diploma picks, or custom cake toppers to suit the occasion.

9. Edible Glitter or Sprinkles (Optional):

For an extra touch of celebration, add edible glitter or sprinkles to the cake tiers.

10. Presentation:

Carefully transport and assemble the tiers at the venue. Display the cake on a sturdy cake stand or tiered cake display.

Note:

Ensure that the buttercream frosting is smooth and evenly applied for a professional look.
Customize the cake decorations to match the graduate's school colors or personal preferences.

Creating a 3-tier graduation cake involves both baking and artistic skills, so take your time and enjoy the process. Congratulations to the graduate!
