We started a new tradition in our house this year. Making Jesus a special birthday cake with meaning behind all parts of the cake. Here is how you make it:
Jesus Birthday Cake
Three layered round cake. - Round like the world in which Jesus was born into.
Bottom layer-Chocolate-Brown represents our sin which is dirty & ugly.
Middle layer- Add red food coloring to 1/2 of a white cake mix.-Red represents His blood which He shed for us.
Top layer-Add green food coloring to 1/2 of a white cake mix.-Green Represents how we should grow more like Him.
White frosting represents the purity of Jesus' sinless life.
Yellow star in the middle of the cake represents the star which shown and provided direction for the wise men.
One candle in the middle of the star represents Jesus' being the light of the world.
Each child takes a candle and lights it from the one on thecake and puts it in the cake. This represents us letting Jesus' light shine through us.
Sing Happy Birthday Jesus and blow out the candles.
