It’s true, I’m graduating on Sunday.  After 21 years of education, it’s finally time for me to leave school and start my career.  The fact that I’m starting a job at a school and therefore not actually leaving school at all is beside the point.  Shh.

This week is full of parties and gatherings to celebrate said graduation.  Tomorrow night I am joining my fellow science nerds for dinner and I volunteered to bring dessert.  I’m not quite sure what it is about graduation desserts, but I feel the need to make something extra special.

Exhibit A
The cake I made when my roommate and several other friends finished their masters degrees:

Exhibit B
The graduation cap pops that I made tonight for tomorrow’s dinner:

Special note: this is the first picture you are seeing from my new camera.  It’s fancy.  I’ll write more about it later.

Are you celebrating a graduation?  Have you seen or tasted any special graduation treats?
