UAB graduation cake

Graduation cake... learned a lot on this one... tried to make my top out of fondant, let it dry for about 3 days. ripped to pieces the day I put it together. I finally had to wrap some cake board in fondant to make the top. Hand painted the dragon onto dried fondant( proud of that any way) My poor tassel looked more like a squid with a knitted cap on but, flew with it any way. A lot of things I would change if I had to make again. For now, I will hang onto my dragon looked good.
