Last week I wrote about my son’s graduation from college.  The night of his graduation ceremony his girlfriend and her family threw a party for him at their home.  There were the expected balloons and banners clearly declaring the graduation theme, but there were also two really clever additions that gave the party a special graduation flavor.  I was impressed enough to want to share Amanda’s awesome graduation party food fun.
Cheesy, But Clever
What would graduation be without a diploma?  How about a tray of diplomas made out of rolled cheese slices, tied with strips of scallions…  The most palatable parchment evah!
Chocolate With Tassels? No Hassle!
In bit of confectionary cleverness, Amanda created edible graduation caps, complete with tassels, by attaching a square of chocolate on top of an upside down mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.  A bit of Airheads Xtremes Sourbelt candy sliced thin for the tassel and “voila!”
Simple food fun!
How about you? Do you have any special “graduation themed” food tips you can share? Â Please add them to the comments, and if you are celebrating a graduation in your family, CONGRATS!

Last year, I attended the high school graduation party of my niece that was so wonderful. They had put up a big-screen tv and played a musical show made with pictures of her growing up from childhood to now. It reminded us of the time she was born and it depicted the story of how she evolved into a beautiful young woman. Everything was perfectly synchronized to music and the results were awesome! They got the show custom made for them by Smiling Snaps and I had never seen anything like that before.

Thanks for sharing that great idea, Judy. There are actually a lot of software programs and services (some of them free) that can make it easy to create a professional looking video slideshow. One of my favorites is http://www.animoto.com. Thanks again!
