Do You Need A Cake At A Graduation Party?

While a graduation cake is a traditional graduation party dessert, it is not a must-have dessert. Consider doing cupcakes or mini cupcakes in school colors along with other types of desserts creating a graduation party dessert table.

I love the idea of using cupcakes as a simple easy to eat dessert option, and there are so many fun ways to display them like with a cupcake tower.  

How Many Cupcakes Do I Need For 100 People?

At least one per person but to be safe have an extra 20% more for those guests who might like to eat more than one.

How Many Mini Desserts Per Person?

A good rule of thumb for small or mini desserts is 3-4 per person.

  1. Those glittered poinsettias are tacky, aren't they? The pinnacle of tackiness are the glitter ones that are BLUE!I also worry about semis blowing a tire next to me on the highway. Lots to fret about on the road!

  2. lol sorry I don’t agree with that at all. I write 250 articles a week, and make thousands of dollars a month doing these articles for people. And have a member base of 125 reoccurring customers because of the results they get with my business. So for you to say its a “thing of the past” just makes me laugh. This business is all about backlinking, PR, traffic, etc. I submit to over 6k sites per article.And you didn’t answer my question.

  3. Yum! So many creative graduation party desserts! The cap-shaped cookies and diploma cakes are adorable and delicious touches.
