Communion Season

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.

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 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.
