Graduation Party Food - Celebrate your State

Cue the Pomp and Circumstance,
It's Graduation Season!
It's an exciting and joyous time where one chapter ends, and for many,
 a collegiate chapter begins.
Why not proudly wave your school's pennant flag and "celebrate the state" on the horizon? 

You can get corny for Iowa...

Go nuts for Georgia...

Say, "Hot Dog" for good times in New York...

Cheers to the Colorado home where the Buffalo Roam...

(it is called the Banquet Beer, after all,

and the colors are on point!)

Say, "Cheese" to Wisconsin...

Go Big Blue-berries...

and enjoy Michigan's favorite fruit...

Wave Aloha to Hawaii...

You say, "Potato", 

I say your party needs French Fries to honor Idaho's finest...

"Orange" you glad you'll get to visit your co-ed in Florida?

A big bowl of colorful citrus is a fun way to say, "see you later, to your Gater"...

Dare to "Mess with Texas"...

and kick it up by decorating with the Lone Star State's yellow roses...

I also love to commemorate the school with favors in the college colors.

Here we are not being "Cavaliler" as we honor the deep history of Virginias orange and blue...

and cupcakes are always a good idea, right?

Congrats to all the Grads, 

College Pennant Flags are available in my Etsy Shop.

Graduation takes the Cake

From sea to shining sea, Graduation season is here.

Parties are being planed, college decisions have been made 

and the anticipation of life at new schools is fun and exciting.

We are getting a head start on the school spirit with college logo graduation cakes...

a quick and easy way, 

to make any cake burst with pride.

Toppers are available in my Etsy Shop

Graduation is Emotional and Emoji-nal...

Graduations are always an emotional experience for parents.
It's a bittersweet time of excitement and change,
 and whether they're graduating from kindergarten or high school,
 you can't believe your baby is growing up.

One minute you're happy...


The next you're sad...

but you know a wink and smile with a stash of tissues will get you through!

I've got a lot of friends with kids flying the nest this year, 

I hope these emojis will cover it for commencement...

Graduation Party College Cupcakes

Over the next few months we will be celebrating a few of our favorite high school grads, 

and sweetly honoring the universities they'll be attending.

I gave these cupcakes the old college try -

there will be Wolverines...

and Ducks...

along with Longhorns, Huskies and Buffaloes..

not to mention some in crimson and cardinal...

It's just going to be so hard waving goodbye!
