Homecoming Cake Ideas

A homecoming is far more than a celebration, it’s a milestone for a school and its students; and every homecoming celebration warrants a perfect homemade homecoming party cake.

Of course, when it comes to a homecoming celebration and the homecoming party cake, the term ‘homemade’ has many different potential meanings. A host could indeed present a simple theme cake prepared in a home kitchen, a basic chocolate or vanilla concoction that bears a simple iced message like “Happy Homecoming.”

Or she could opt for a homecoming party cake that truly and creatively reflects the spirit of the homecoming celebration. This could be a confection with icing that reflects school colors, and/or that forms an illustration of the school’s logo or mascot.

Taking this theme a step further, the host could present a homecoming party cake that resembles the school’s homecoming parade float. Using a basic chocolate or vanilla sheet cake (or perhaps an ice cream cake, thus giving the term ‘float’ a dual meaning) as a canvas, she could produce an actual facsimile of that year’s float in the homecoming parade; topping it with handy party supplies like small plastic fashion dolls (to liken the homecoming queen and her court), plastic and candied flowers, ribbons and streamers, etc.

Homecoming Party Music Play Lists

A homecoming is a time-honored school celebration observed throughout the country; one celebrated with parades, parties and of course good music.

The ultimate homecoming party playlist will feature songs that are vibrant, lively, and of course celebratory; with a few sentimental tunes thrown in for good measure. They could include:

Graduation (Friends Forever) by Vitamin C
Be True to Your School by the Beach Boys
Coming Home by Michael Buble
School’s Out by Alice Cooper
We’re All in This Together by the cast of High School Musical
Don’t Stop Believin by the cast of Glee
All For One by the cast of High School Musical
Greased Lightning by the cast of Grease
And of course, no homecoming party would be complete without a full host of party supplies; tokens and decorations that could include plastic or paper mache air horns, footballs, pom poms, books and backpacks hanging from the ceiling, as well as pennants that represent the school of honor adorning the walls. A model school or football stadium would make a great centerpiece, especially when presented with a scene setter that resembles a football field or high school gym.

Guests will have no problem coming home to the ultimate homecoming party.
