Graduation Cupcakes

Happy Graduation!!

Ah, remember the days; those last few days of high school and then freedom loomed-little did we know we were better off there than in the real world, but thats another story, lol. I had to make 80 graduation cupcakes for a new "almost out of high schooler" and found an idea on the internet. It required creating some graduation themed picks with popsicle sticks to stick in the cupcakes. Also, I created tiny graduation diploma scrolls with rolled up parchment paper and a little ribbon. Finally, I added a few little embellishments that I found at the grocery store: candles in the shape of a graduation cap. That coupled with graduation cupcake liners, and some gold icing dust created a nice looking group of graduation cupcakes! See the photos:

Here are the picks made out of black and gold scrapbook cardstock and some from prebought stickers pasted on cardstock:

The tiny scrolls made out of parchment looked adorable:

In the front row you can see the graduation caps I mentioned:

Here's a long view of the set:

One of two boxes-all ready to go! They made it just fine to their destination-no problems during delivery, lol!!
