This past Friday, on the traditional feast of the Baptism of Our Lord, our newest little blessing was baptized by his Uncle, a priest with the FSSP who flew in for this occasion, in the extraordinary form of the sacrament following a traditional Latin Mass during which our two daughters received their First Holy Communions. It truly was a day filled with blessings for our family!
Since it had been just over 3 weeks since I delivered our little one, we opted for a simple Cake Reception in the hall at our parish. I decided to order cakes from Costco, adding my own little touches as well.
For the Baptismal Cake I ordered Costco's White cake with vanilla cheesecake mousse and iced with white buttercream. For the decorations I choose their "Roses" design with White Roses and Dark Green Leaves. I had them leave the center blank.
Inspired by Charlotte's recent baptismal cake, I ordered the Baptismal Cross Candy Mold to create for the center of the cake! Charlotte suggested using Dark Blue Candy Melts, which she and her husband even sent us (along with those beautiful flowers for their Godson!) since they aren't available here locally. I used approximately 1/2 of the 16 oz. bag of candy melts for the cross. It turned out gorgeous!

For the girls' First Communion Cake I ordered Costco's Chocolate Cake with chocolate mousse and iced with white buttercream. Since I wanted to make a white Bread of Life Cake Topper, using my Communion Candy Mold
I thought this would be a fun opportunity to have a couple link-ups over at Catholic Cuisine for Baptism Cakes and First Holy Communion Cakes. If you have made one in the past, be sure to head on over to share the link!
Lovely, lovely! I hope that you mean to pass on your ideas, because I will be using them! You still did an amazing amount of work for a cake reception...only being 3 weeks postpartum. Congratulations to you all!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cakes and truly beautiful girls! I'll link up with Faith's First Holy Communion cake.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the cakes. I "stole" another baptismal cake you featured way back for our little one that was just baptized...I'll steal these ideas for the next one!
ReplyDeleteThe little capes are gorgeous. I bought something similar for my girls for a recent Christmas concert...but these are really beautiful.
A hearty congratulations to you and the family!
Yours, Carla

ReplyDeleteDear Jessica and family as well all ladies visitors of your blog,
I am wondering to require a preparation prayer (if possible)from you all for the blasphemy scene during the theater's scene will be held in theatre "F. Parenti",Milan (Italy) next 24-28 Jan.For more information you may visit this blog for petition and helping them with prayer or rosary. http://bastacristianofobia.blogspot.com/
lately i feel so sad, in the video we can see they use innocent children trough the stones on the Jesus our Lord Immagine.I feel impotent.after saw the video, iwas in tears, I accept him as my Saviour, my Lord,my Shepard.and strangely no body from the Church defend my Lord.
happen already in France.
Help us with your prayer.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you Jessica
So brave to have a bakery write such lengthy Latin words!! Inspiring as always.
ReplyDeleteapologize reparation prayer instead of preparation..i made mistake.
ReplyDeletethanks.
Gorgeous Jessica! Your cakes almost look to good to eat! What a blessing to have an uncle baptize your baby! It's even more meaningful I think. On top of that two of your daughters received their Holy First Communion? What a blessed day for your entire family!
ReplyDeleteThe cakes were beautiful and sounded scrumptious. I think cake should be declared a food staple! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour reception cakes and favors all turned out so beautiful!!
