Alright, so your young’un is graduatin’, huh? Big day! Means they finally learned somethin’, I guess. Now, you gotta feed all them folks comin’ over to celebrate. Can’t just give ’em dirt and twigs, ya know? They expect somethin’ sweet. So, let’s talk grub, graduation grub, that is. Desserts, the good stuff!
First off, them chocolate chip cookies. Can’t go wrong with them, I tell ya. Every kid, big or small, loves a good chocolate chip cookie. You know, the kind that’s a little crispy on the edges but soft in the middle? Yeah, them’s the ones. Easy to make too, even I can whip up a batch without burnin’ the house down. Just dump some flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and a whole lotta chocolate chips in a bowl, mix it up, and bake it till it smells good. Simple as that.
Now, if you wanna get fancy, and I mean real fancy, there’s this Oreo Mousse Cake thing. Sounds complicated, but it ain’t too bad. It’s like…layers of creamy stuff and crushed-up Oreo cookies. Sounds like somethin’ them city folks eat, but it’s mighty tasty. You can find a recipe online, or just buy one from the store, I ain’t judgin’. Makes a big ol’ cake, enough to feed a whole army of hungry graduates and their families.
- Chocolate chip cookies – always a winner!
- Oreo Mousse Cake – sounds fancy, tastes great.
- Graduation cupcakes – easy to grab and go.
- Chocolate Chip Cheesecake – fancy and delicious.
And speaking of fancy, have you ever heard of a Chocolate Chip Cheesecake? My daughter told me about it, she saw it on some cookin’ show. Apparently you can even make it in one of them Instant Pot thingamajigs. Says it makes the cheesecake real creamy and smooth. I dunno, sounds like a lot of work to me, but if you’re feelin’ ambitious, go for it. It’s somethin’ special for a special day, right?
But if you ain’t got time for all that fuss, cupcakes are the way to go. Graduation cupcakes, they call ‘em. You can get ‘em all decked out with little graduation hats and diplomas, all cute and stuff. And you can make ‘em in all sorts of flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, whatever your young’un likes. Kids love cupcakes, they’re easy to hold and eat while they’re runnin’ around and chasin’ each other. And they’re not as messy as a big slice of cake, that’s for sure.
Now, don’t forget the look of the whole shebang. My daughter, she’s always goin’ on about presentation. Says it ain’t just about the food, it’s about how it looks too. So, she told me about this “memory board” thing. You take a bunch of pictures of the graduate, from when they were a little squirt all the way up to now, and you put ’em on a board. It’s like a walk down memory lane, but with pictures. People like lookin’ at that kinda stuff, reminiscin’ and all. And you can put it right next to the dessert table, so folks can admire the pictures while they’re grabbin’ a sweet treat. Kills two birds with one stone, see?
And of course, you gotta have a big ol’ graduation cake. A sheet cake, they call it. The kind that’s big enough to feed a whole crowd. You can get it decorated with the school colors and the year and all that jazz. Or just get a plain one and write “Congrats” on it. Doesn’t really matter, as long as it’s big and sweet. Folks expect a cake at a graduation party, it’s like a rule or somethin’.
So there you have it, some ideas for graduation desserts. Nothin’ too fancy, just good, sweet stuff that folks will enjoy. Remember, it ain’t about bein’ perfect, it’s about celebratin’ your young’un’s big day. And a little sugar always makes things sweeter, right? Now go on and get bakin’!
