I realized, while driving down to the pet store to buy crickets (it's a long story but at least I am getting reimbursed for it eventually) that instead of baking a cake AND cookies, why not do a double batch of cookies and take some to the lunch and some for the graduation?
Because (a) Cookies are a little lighter than cake, especially after lasagna and (b) I could do them all tomorrow night and just be DONE with them. Or if I feel super motivated after piano, do them this evening and just be DONE with them.
I think I'll do chocolate chip. Or perhaps mixed-chip, where I do half chocolate, half butterscotch.
I will not, however, do as the entomology prof at my grad school did, and put crickets in the cookies. (Trufax, he did. He called them "chocolate chirpies." No one was happy the week his lab had charge of providing the pre-seminar food).

I hope he was made to eat all those cookies himself! Crunching on crickets.
Cookies sound like a good answer to your baking issues.
ah.. at Purdue there is a whole weekend during parents weekend in spring where the Entomology Dept hosts somethign called Bug Bowl. Chocolate Chirpies were the least of your worries there.
Good luck with the cookies AND the hurdle of the President's office.
