Graduation Parties Made Simple with Bektrom

Graduation season is here – and it’s time to celebrate the hard work, late nights, and big dreams of your favorite grads! Whether you’re hosting a small backyard gathering or a big open house, every party needs a delicious spread of snacks, sides, and sweets.

At Bektrom Foods, we make it easy to create party-ready dishes without the stress of cooking or baking from scratch. With our vast range of Loretta cookies, muffins, brownies, and side dish mixes, you can whip up an impressive graduation table that’s big on flavor – and low on prep time.

Bektrom Mixes for Your Party Table

Cookie Creations: Sweet and Simple

Start your party table with a batch (or two) of cookies using Loretta Premium Rich Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix and Loretta Premium Rich Sugar Cookie Mix. These classic options are always a hit – and incredibly easy to make. Just add a few simple ingredients and bake up soft, chewy cookies perfect for celebrating grads.

To make your cookie display extra festive:

• Decorate with school colors: Use colored icing, sprinkles, or candy melts to match your grad’s school theme. Sugar cookies especially shine as a customizable canvas!
  
• Create cookie sandwiches: Spread frosting or ice cream between two cookies for a fun, handheld treat. Try mixing sugar cookies with chocolate chip cookies for variety.

You can also set up a DIY Cookie Bar where guests can decorate their own cookies with toppings like mini candies, frosting, and edible glitter!

Muffin Magic: Versatile and Delicious

Muffins aren’t just for breakfast – they make great party bites too! Using our Loretta Blueberry Muffin Mix or Loretta BananaMuffin Mix, you can bake a batch of mini muffins perfect for grab-and-go snacking.

Fun ways to use muffins at your grad party:

• Mini Muffin Towers: Stack mini muffins into a fun “muffin cake” centerpiece.
• Muffin Skewers: Alternate mini muffins and fresh fruit on skewers for a colorful, easy-to-eat treat.
• Muffin Decorating Station: For a DIY dessert activity, let guests top their muffins with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles.

Brownie Bliss: Always a Crowd Favorite

No celebration is complete without brownies, and Loretta Fudge Brownie Mix is the ultimate shortcut to rich, decadent squares of chocolate goodness.

Make your brownie bar memorable with these ideas:

• Graduation Cap Brownies: Cut brownies into squares, add a small chocolate square on top with a little icing, and use a licorice string for the tassel.
• Brownie Bites: Bake the mix in mini muffin tins for bite-sized fudgy treats.
• Layered Brownie Trifles: For a grab-and-go dessert option, layer brownie chunks, whipped cream, and berries in small cups.

Cake and Cupcakes: Celebrate in Style

Nothing says “celebration” quite like cake! You can quickly bake a show-stopping centerpiece dessert using Loretta Yellow Cake Mix or Loretta Devil’s Food Cake Mix.

Fun ideas for cakes and cupcakes:

• Graduation Cupcakes: Top each cupcake with mini graduation toppers or candies in your grad’s school colors.
• Layered Party Cake: Frost and decorate a layered cake with piping and sprinkles to match the graduation theme.
• Cupcake Display Tower: Arrange cupcakes on a stand to create a fun, colorful centerpiece that guests can easily grab.

Whether you choose classic sheet cakes or elegant cupcake displays, cake adds an extra layer of fun to the dessert table!

Don’t Forget the Savory Sides

While the desserts are always a hit, don’t forget the savory table! Bektrom’s easy-to-make noodle, rice, and pasta sides are perfect for rounding out your graduation menu. Quick to prepare and packed with flavor, they pair perfectly with BBQ, sandwiches, or potluck dishes, giving guests a variety of satisfying options without keeping you in the kitchen all day.

Some popular choices to consider:

• Creamy Macaroni & Cheese
• Cheesy Rice
• Savory Noodle Sides like Chicken Flavor or Alfredo

Simple, tasty sides mean you can spend more time celebrating and less time stressing!
