How about a big bottle of pills on its side with her information on the label. Name Expirationdate= grad date, Birthdate= start of school date Name of university as the medicine name....etc. You could even have the lid partially off and pills spilling out.... ?

OR

Wait for Doug to answer you!!!

I think of one thing : mortar and pestle see pic

If you can do a 3D that would be great. Have the pestel on the side or on top of the cake.

If not a round cake with such a picture would be great too.

Use the year or school and your friends name and what ever congrats message. You can also use the RX there is so much out there.

Good Luck.

and i think (having worked in a pharmacy for four years to pay for college)

that -- only once saw them use a mortar and pestle

but that pilling counting tray was in continuous use (even I had to do it sometimes -- one little pill, two little pills, three little pills --- CALL IN THE COUNT!)

so, I'd do a large sheet cake carved to look like the pill tray,

image two: http://www.medicalproductsdirect.com/pilcounwitsp.html

then make all kinds of pills on it arranged to spell "SUCCESS"

to side marthajo1's idea of the bottle and then

for message

any way you count it -- it spells .....

Congrats on your graduation.
