A Christening or Baptism Cake Will Be the ‘Icing’ on Your Celebration
The first thing to consider in planning your christening or baptism cake will be how many guests it needs to serve to determine the size of your cake. Specialty-shaped cakes are always festive but if you are going to be entertaining a lot of guests, you might want to consider a sheet cake which can also be appropriately decorated for the occasion.
A specially designed baptism or christening cake will complete your celebration. It can be as fancy or as simple as you like. Shapes that would make a great baptismal cake design would be a cross or an open book to represent the Bible. It can be homemade or it can be professionally made to order.
If you will be making the cake, you might choose to use a boxed cake mix or you might want to make the cake from scratch using a specific recipe. I came across this website http://cake.allrecipes.com which has tons of cake recipes including those that use cake mixes as an ingredient. They have broken down their cake recipes for easier viewing by pan size/type, type of cake and flavor. The choices are endless.
When it comes to decorating your christening cake, there are numerous books and videos that you can reference for unique ideas and tips. To keep the cake traditional, it can be frosted in white but decorated with various colors.
If your time is limited, it might be better to leave the baking and decorating of your christening or baptism cake to a bakery. They can guide you through all the options they offer.
Serve Your Baptism or Christening Cake in Style
Serve pieces of your beautiful cake to guests with these adorable napkins. They have a stained glass design so they are perfectly themed for a baptism or christening. They are easily personalized by adding the baby's name and sacrament date or a favorite Bible verse. Great for being part of the table settings or they could be used for the special purpose of serving pieces of cake to your guests.
