First Holy Communion
This was one of the most special cakes I have made to date. I am proud to share that my son celebrated his First Holy Communion this past weekend! He was very excited and asked me if I could make a "cool" cake for his party. I knew that the traditional white & shiny religious cake would not qualify as "cool".
Jackson was very specific on his flavor and filling...chocolate with chocolate buttercream, but I tweaked it a bit. His cake was Amaretto Chocolate with Chocolate Buttercream & White Sour Cream with Chocolate Buttercream covered in Chocolate Fondant and Marshmallow Fondant.
This was my first 3-tier and I am so pleased with how stable it was. I figured that the safest way to do a trial run of a 3-tier would include sticking pretty close to home! It was very heavy, but could have traveled easily.
The colors worked very well together and matched his invitations, just like he wanted. All of the green was handbrushed with edible glitter and made such a huge mess, but looked amazing! The cross and name were sculpted with gumpaste a couple of days in advance.
The cupcakes were Chocolate Amaretto with Chocolate buttercream frosting and fondant decor to match the cake. The cupcakes went so fast that I may have changed my mind about them. When cupcakes coordinate with a cake, it makes them worth the time!

Congratulations, to one of the sweetest, most compassionate boys I know.
We are so proud of you!
