Our Cakes Throughout the Years: 1st Holy Communion Cake

This cake was made for my cousin's son for his 1st Holy Communion. I wanted to make him a special gift in honor of the occasion. The cake is a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. The Bible cake is covered in a dark chocolate fondant, and white fondant (for the pages of the book). I handcarved the cross and chalice and painted them with edible paint.

My mom made red velvet cupcakes for the party as well. The cupcakes are frosted with a fluffy cream cheese frosting. They are adorned with chocolate fondant doves.

Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Christian-themed Baby Shower

This cake was created for a Christian-themed baby shower. The vanilla cake with pink frosting is covered in fondant. The decorations are also created out of fondant, with piping done in buttercream frosting. The Christian theme is interpreted on the cake with a clothes line between trees with angel wings, a halo, baby booties, and dress hanging from the line. I also found a quote from the Bible which refers to being born. I painted the cross, tree leaves, angel wings, and dress with edible glitter. This cake was such a joy to make! :o)
