Petra's graduation cake


I had a couple of boxed devil's food cake mixes (really!) in the cupboard that I wanted to use and Petra's high school graduation was the perfect opportunity.
Two standard boxes make two 10"layer cakes. I filled with vanilla buttercream mixed with a bit of strawberry jam and then frosted with the remaining buttercream.
Topped the whole thing with some beautiful organic strawberries and glazed it with some strawberry jam that was mixed with a bit of warm water and then strained to remove the solids. It makes the fruit look shiny. I like shiny things.
