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 so you can 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 could be a cross or an open book representing the Bible. It can be homemade or it can be professionally made to order.
When it comes to decorating your baptism 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. You may also want to include a baptism cake topper that will adorn your cake and that can also be kept as a souvenir. Pictured here is a light-weight acrylic cake topper to be engraved with the baby's name and baptism date. This keepsake topper gives the look of crystal with an affordable price. 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.
