My younger son just completed his 3rd year in pharmacy school. Parents were invited to a ceremony at which the students received their white pharmacy jackets and took a pledge of professionalism.
To surprise him, I made this "white coat" cake. The cake is lemon with vanilla buttercream icing. The shirt and tie were made of fondant in the school colors. The white coat is vanilla fondant.
Reports from the dorm were that the cake was a hit and that even the girls who "don't eat cake" really enjoyed it.
