I'm no Michelangelo


Billy was disappointed to learn that I, his uncreative and temporarily overwhelmed mother, was planning to use the same cross-shaped cake mold I used for Mary's Baptismal cake for his First Holy Communion cake tomorrow.


"But I wanted it to look like God," he wailed.


Um..............?

That's too funny. Did you ask him to draw you a sketch of what he had in mind? :)

LOL -- too funny!

Well, since it's a First Communion cake, and the Host does truly become Jesus, then a ROUND CAKE would be the way to go! Bet you've got plenty of round cake pans too! Jesus=God=fully present in the Host...works for me!

A God-shaped cake? No pressure or anything, huh?

Wow. Pint-sized blasphemy. :-)

I like Barb's suggestion, myself...

Barb beat me to the suggestion. Make round cakes (1 layer or 2) frost them white and use a toothpick to "carve" in a cross in the middle. It will look just like the Host. If you want the cross to stand out more, pipe it on in yellow (gold) frosting.
