Graduation
Graduation is the festive culmination of years of study and deserves a real family celebration. After the ceremony, a family lunch or dinner usually follows, whether at a restaurant or at home.

Graduation on the Plate
A Festive Lunch After the Ceremony
After the ceremony in the auditorium or hall, a family lunch usually follows. Classics include beef sirloin in cream sauce, chicken in cream, stuffed duck leg, or grilled salmon. For toasts, sparkling wine, prosecco, or non-alcoholic sparkling alternatives are offered.The Graduation Cap Cake
The graduation cake is the highlight of the celebration. The traditional shape mimics the square graduation cap with tassel or a rolled diploma. Popular options include chocolate with orange filling, a classic plum cake, or a light mascarpone cake with fruit. The top features an edible diploma or the graduate's name in icing.Finger Food and Evening Party
After the family lunch, an evening party with friends often follows, more relaxed and lively. Finger food works best: bruschetta, filled tortilla wraps, sliders, chicken skewers, a cheese board, and olives. For drinkers, craft beer, cocktails, and champagne. For drivers and children, homemade lemonades and mocktails are ready.
