Graduation Cake Pop Tags



Looking for fun homemade graduation gifts ideas or yummy treats to make for your graduation party? These graduation cake pop with graduation cake pop tags are perfect!  If you've never made (or more importantly eaten) cake pops before, then you are missing out.  Cake pops are yummy, fun, and creative.  Here's our cake pop recipe:

Cake Pops and Balls

1 box chocolate cake mix (or cake mix of your choice)
1 can cream cheese frosting
 Candy melt the color of your choice
Sucker sticks

Make cake according to package directions.  Let cake cool.  Mash the cake with ¾ can of
frosting.  Roll the dough into balls and refrigerate  for a couple of hours (you can freeze them but never for more than 15 minutes).  Melt the candy melt according to package directions.  Add shortening  and melt with the candy to make a good dipping consistency.  I usually add a couple of tablespoons.  Dip the end of each stick in the candy melt and let sit in freezer for 10 minutes.  Push the stick up halfway through the  cake ball and dip cake ball in melted candy melt.   Set the balls on wax paper so that the bottoms flatten.  Enjoy!!!


Now for these special graduation cake pop with tags, just print of the graduation cake pop tag below!  

In a time pinch, you can also dip doughnut holes.  They are pretty yummy too!

Congratulations, graduates!

Graduation poem


Graduation Poem

Ever since you were born, we've imagined the day
when you'd finally grow up and go find your own way
We cried the first time that you boarded the bus
Mom counted the minutes 'til you came home to us
We cheered at your games, your recitals, your shows--
rolled our eyes at your comments, expressions and clothes
Now 18 years later we wish time would wait
As we sit back in wonder that you turned out so great!

Congratulations, Graduate!
