My cousin graduated from high school! My aunt asked me to make a cake for her graduation party, and I was happy to do so. This is a 12" square red velvet (my cousin's request) cake with white chocolate cream cheese frosting. It's the largest cake I've ever made and I learned a lot throughout the process. In total, it took me approximately 10 hours to complete (including planning, practicing, calculating, etc), although much of that time was spent desperately trying to recover from some...unexpected challenges (more on that later). Most importantly, my cousin liked it! Yay!
