The First Holy Communion party is over and almost all of the goodies were enjoyed; just a smidge of cake is left, but I took a picture when I finished decorating it, so I could share it with you. I wish you had been here to enjoy a piece.
What I did: I used a vanilla pound cake and filled the Wilton cross-shaped pan halfway, aftergreasing sndflouring well. I think it was 1.5 times the recipe. I baked it until a toothpick came out clean. After cooling, I frosted it with buttercream frosting and then placed a white chocolate cross (purchased at Easter) on the center of the cross. Using a small round top, I piped the pink, squiggly line all over (to look lacey). I made pink roses and placed them on the cross and piped green leaves. I used a small star tip to pipe a pink scallop around the bottom edge. With just s few cake decorating tools and some time, it was easy to do.

Oh, my goodness! It's beautiful! I wish I could have been there to enjoy a slice of it too! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done. Thank you for sharing.
God bless!
Gorgeous! And I want to know how you manage to have that party over with before dinnertime. It never works out that way here.
ReplyDeleteBarbara that cake is just so beautiful! What a beautiful occasion for such a lovely accomplishment! I wish I had been there but thanks for the next best thing, the picture is awesome! JP
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cake. I hope the day was just as beautiful if not more. God Bless.

Well, when I first saw the photos I thought "Beautiful", but seeing as everyone's already helped him/herself to that adjective, I'd better choose a new one.
ReplyDeleteThat cake is amazing, Barbara. Wow. Was it as good as it looks? Tell me no so that I stop feeling so envious. ;)
This cake is BEAUTIFUL!!! Maybe you can do ours in a few years...
ReplyDelete:o)
Great work!!
Thanks, Kelly. It was a great day.
ReplyDeleteBarb, For some reason, they all had places to be -- evening Mass, prom, another First Holy Communion. It just worked out and we had a nice quiet evening!
Thanks, JP. You are sweet.
Michele,
The day was just as beautiful but in another-worldly kind of way! ;-)
Margaret,
I must admit, because it was a pound cake, it was a little dry. Nothing a cup of coffee or glass of milk can't fix, but a little dry.
Sure Anne, though I don't know if UPS could handle it! Honestly, I would have bought a bakery cake, but because of Noah's allergies, bakery cakes are off limits!
Absolutely stunning Barbara, it looks so professional, so impressed!
ReplyDeletebeautiful cake-bet it tasted just as delish as it looks
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous, Barbara! I almost, for one second, thought, "Oh, maybe she purchased it, because she was so busy sewing." But of course you didn't! You are amazing! =)
ReplyDeleteIs there anything you can't do?
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, my wordverification was "feadmi" ! Get it? Feed me?
ReplyDeleteHoly cow. That looks professional! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow! That turned out absolutely amazing!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the lacy squiggly lines. I'll definitely file that one away for future use!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Summer
