This Communion Cake Is Easy To Make!
I made this easy Holy Communion Cake and think it turned out pretty well. This is a great decorated cake for beginners, as the decorations are simple and the use of fondant is minimal, yet pretty.
I baked 2 half sheet cakes, and allowed them to cool.
This vanilla cake recipe works really well if you’re looking for a sturdy, yet delicious cake.
I cut the cakes in the shape of a cross, making sure that both cakes were the same.
You can do this by making a sketch of a cross on paper and using that as a guideline.
I stacked the cakes and used my perfect buttercream frosting as the filling. You could also use my Chocolate Frosting too.
Next I bought some white fondant. I like the brand Satin Ice, It’s easy to work with and tastes good!
I dyed some of the fondant blue and rolled it out to about 1/8- inch and cut it into the shape of a cross to place on top of the cake.
I also rolled out some white fondant and cut it into a circle to make the name plate. I wrote on the nameplate with a food coloring marker.
I colored some of the fondant with a light blue food gel and then formed it into small balls for the rosary beads.
I made the cross out of fondant also for the end of the beads, and sprayed it with a silver food coloring.
I bought light blue sugar flowers to decorate the top of the cake, but you could pipe those on too with frosting.
Hehehe even though I am not a Christain, I found this post very entertaining. Beautiful cake!
LOL, you're a such a silly nut! 🙂
Great job on the cake!

I *am* Catholic…and I am in the library reading this post trying my hardest not to laugh out loud!!! Oh my goodness! The ashes! My mom said when I was in 1st grade in Catholic School, my class when to Ash Wednesday Mass and I wouldn't go up…I thought they were HOT ashes!!! (I guess I didn't remember from the years before?)
Anyhoo…your rosary!!! That is fabulous! I just made fondant this week and I'm thinking I need to make a rosary from it now. Would it be wrong to eat it, though?
I'm not Catholic either, but your cake is gorgeous!

Love the colors in this cake! I knew someone who ate Crayola crayons in elementary school, so trust me, eating Chapstick isn't so bad!
You mean those aren't footrests??? Ooopps! :/
I'd take a piece of that cake in a cathlic heartbeat!
While I was made to go through communion and all by my parents, I could have easily breezed through it more appreciatively if I knew I had this cake to dive into afterwards. It would have made it worth it in my opinion, lol. You always do a beautiful job.
Gorgeous cake. Being from the South I didn't grow up around many Catholics, either. But now that I'm older I see that there are in fact other religions around me. I was just a typical, blind kid!
Awesome job on the cake!
Gorgeous cake, love it!!
Beautiful cake!! And I agree…the Catholics have really got it goin' on…
What a beautiful cake!! So lovely.
i definitely don't know very much about catholicism, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating your lovely cake! i love the pale blue hue. 🙂
Gorgeous cake!
Great post – I married a catholic man, so I had a lot to learn too!
