“Diploma Cannoli Bar” Graduation Party Idea
Celebrate your graduate’s sweet success with a DIY Cannoli Bar that doubles as a fun activity and dessert! Guests can roll up their sleeves and fill their own cannolis with a variety of delicious fillings and toppings—and for a special graduation-themed twist, you can connect two cannoli shells together to resemble rolled-up diplomas!
This idea is especially adorable for graduation parties—when you attach two cannoli shells together and tie them with a ribbon, they look just like mini diplomas! It’s a sweet nod to the grad’s big achievement.
For a fun added touch, make a sign that says
🎓 “Dip, Fill & Roll Your Own Diploma Cannoli!” 🎓
But don’t stop there—this idea works beautifully for any celebration, including Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, engagement parties, bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties or milestone events.
You will need:
- cannolis
- fillings we used chocolate mousse, whip with vanilla custard, strawberry mousse (from Napolean Trifles in Something Sweet )
- chocolate or cookie dip, melted
- toppings
- 21” disposable decorating bags
- 1M star tips
- ribbon
Directions:
- Dip one end of cannoli in melted chocolate and attach to a second cannoli. Allow to dry.
- Tie ribbon around the center of the “diploma”.
To set up Cannoli Bar, arrange cannolis on platters.
Add food signs for extra detail and charm.
