Zebra Graduation Cake

Zebra and blue graduation cake
This cake was for my sisters graduation. I just recently started making cakes as a hobby and this was my third cake and I was brave and decided to tier it. Her school colors were blue and white and she loves animal print. She really had no idea what the cake was going to look like since it was a surprise. She had seen the cake on PinkCakeBox.com so i based it off of that but changed it to make it my own. I baked all my cakes the day before to properly cool. The first layer was german chocolate. Second was Red Velvet and the third yellow. The following day I iced in the morning then iced again the afternoon to completely harden. I decorated at night since I have 5 children and my 1 year old likes to poke the cakes. I did all the stars and circles and put them aside then placed the fondant. The zebra stripes I didnt do ahead of time because I didnt want to make too many. I used wooden dowls in the fist tier but not on the second I honestly didnt think it needed it. I did place a long dowl through the top to make sure the top didnt fall. Luckily it did not collapse. When I brought the cake to the house the following morning she loved it and so did everyone else. I think it came out pretty good.
