Preparing for
birthdays,
graduations

Adding details,
style and school
colors can be a
cost-eff ective
way to respond to
current trends.

30 - MAY 2019

WITH SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER comes the rush to ﬁnd cakes for graduation
parties and warm-weather birthday celebrations.
When it comes to graduation cakes, the most inﬂuential trends are those that shy
away from tradition, says Shawna LaMott with Tacoma, Washington-based Lucks Food
Decorating Company.
For graduation cakes, think bold, multi-colors instead of traditional black and gold.
Also prepare for clever takes on modern young adult life.
"Sheet cakes are always a popular sale for graduation and can be updated with
growing trends like cheeky messages or images found in social media," says LaMott.
"Puns like 'Welcome to Adulthood' or 'Go on with your grad self,' along with piled-high
sweets keep the party celebratory rather than scholarly."
But to truly be prepared for a proﬁtable graduation season, you might have to be
prepared to go easy on the cakes.
"Right now people are not buying as many cakes as they have in the past,"
says Lynn Schurman, owner of Cold Spring Bakery in Cold Spring,
Minnesota. "We're doing a lot of cupcakes. We're trying to ﬁgure
out new designs to incorporate more options with cupcakes
for graduation parties and events. Really, anything we can
do to use them right now is important, because that's what
people are looking for. They're not necessarily looking
for cakes."
For example, cupcakes and a sheet cake can be combined in a design; the sheet cake decorated to look like
something and the cupcakes arranged in a shape.
"We're also trying to ﬁgure out if there are other kinds
of desserts that can be incorporated," she says. "Not all
graduation parties are doing cakes anymore. They're looking for other options and we try to come up with new ideas,
whether it's using cookies, brownies or anything like that."
