Graduation day is a huge milestone, and your beloved graduate deserves the world after their years of hard work and dedication. Reward them with a celebration that they’ll remember forever. The best way to celebrate them is with a party centered around everyone’s favorite part of any meal: dessert!
If your grad has a sweet tooth or you’re looking for a fun way to celebrate, a dessert-focused party is sure to be a hit. Here are some dessert ideas to make it a memorable event for everyone involved.
Congrats Grad Chocolate Oreos
If your graduate can’t get enough of Oreos, surprise them with these Congrats Grad Chocolate Oreos from Sweet E’s Bake Shop. These crispy, crunchy cookies are enveloped in premium white and dark chocolate, and decorated with edible gold details. They’re not only delicious but also beautifully festive, perfect for parties of any size.
Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
A lemon poppy seed cake is one of the best grad party desserts you can serve; it’s a classic and refreshing dessert. This recipe is simple and easy to make yet delivers a luscious flavor combination, thanks to the use of cake mix and pudding mix.
Here’s how to make it: preheat your oven to 350°F and combine lemon cake mix and instant lemon pudding mix in a bowl. Add water, oil, eggs, lemon and almond extracts. Beat the mixture until smooth, then stir in poppy seeds. Pour into a greased bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, transfer on a wire rack, then brush with sugar and lemon glaze for a final touch.
Cupcake Tower
Make your graduation day even more festive with a stunning cupcake tower. Create a captivating display in your graduation dessert spread with these Congrats Grad cupcakes, another bestseller hit from Sweet E’s Bake Shop. Available in Confetti, Black & White, and Red Velvet flavors, these cupcakes are quick pick-me-ups that guests can easily grab to keep their energy high throughout the night. They’re also simple to set up and will look absolutely stunning when displayed on an elegant metallic cupcake tower.
Custom Graduation Cookies
Send your guests home with a sweet reminder of your celebration by giving out Sweet E’s custom graduation cookies. You can set up a cookie table loaded with desserts for graduation party attendees that are decorated in your graduate’s school colors. For example, you can have Custom UCLA Grad Cookies, Custom USC Cookies, Custom UC Berkeley Cookies, and Custom Stanford University Cookies on display for a delightful way to thank your guests for coming to the party.
Graduation Cap Cookies
Looking for a fun and easy DIY treat to impress your guests? Try making Graduation Cap Cookies with some candy you might already have in your stash: think peanut butter cups, chocolate mint thins, and M&Ms (in your grad’s school colors). Start by unwrapping the peanut butter cups and chocolate thins. Create the base of the cookies by placing the peanut butter cups upside down on a sheet of waxed paper. Put a small dab of frosting on the center of each cup, then place a mint chocolate thin on top of the frosting, pressing gently to secure the cap. Pipe a small loop frosting on top of each chocolate thin to create the tassel. Place an M&M on top of each tassel loop to complete the graduation cap look.
Graduation Cake & Balloon Bundle
Sweet E’s Graduation Drip Cake and Balloon Bundle is the perfect all-in-one celebration for those who want convenience during graduation day. The Graduation Drip Cake by itself is a masterpiece with its elegant drip design, vibrant colors, and delicious layers. It serves as a delectable focal point, while the balloons add a festive atmosphere, ensuring your party looks and feels complete with minimal effort from you.
Remember, the key to a successful dessert-focused party is combining convenience with creativity. Variety is the spice of life, which is why you should offer a wide variety of dessert treats and cookie favors, ensuring that every guest will be satisfied and will leave with a sweet reminder of the occasion. Having smaller, portioned desserts like the options listed above will ensure your graduate and their friends can get a bite of everything.
