Graduation Party Food



Options for the cake are as limitless as your imagination.  Making your own instead of having one professionally made can save money and add your own personal touch.  First things first, everyone will want a slice so make sure you make enough cake for all your guests.

After working out how much cake you will need, you need to decide on the flavour.  The graduate’s favourite is always a good place to start; after all, it is their day.  The design of the icing is where your imagination is truly used.  Consider following the theme of your party for the design, from white icing to depictions of the graduate’s hobbies, you could add in a few graduation caps to keep with the purpose of the party. 


One cake idea is to bake a roll cake.  With this style of cake, add a red ribbon around the middle and it will appear as a diploma scroll.  Another cake idea is to shape it based on the graduate’s favourite sport or hobby, maybe even something following the graduate’s plans for the future.  For example, several cake layers could form a stack of legal books for a lawyer.

Another treat for the partygoers are muffins and cupcakes.   Additionally, with the appropriate moulds, you can melt down chocolate and create anything from little chocolate graduates to chocolate caps.  Mix in a little mint essence or orange flavouring to add a little variety.  Cookies are another good choice and they are easily baked, and cut into any shape. 

Graduation is an important time and throwing a party is certainly a way of personally marking the occasion beyond the ceremony at the school.  Have a good time and congratulations on your child’s graduation.
