Christmas

Grandma's Birthday Cake For Jesus
Wonderful idea for celebrating Christmas!

• The shape of the cake is round to represent the world into which Jesus was born.
• The bottom layer of the cake is black to signify that we all are sinners, which is why Jesus came to earth.
• The red layer symbolizes Jesus' blood that was shed on the cross for our sins.
• The green layer denotes the new life we have in Christ after our sins have been washed away.
• The pure white frosting stands for the righteousness and purity of Jesus Christ, and the border of red hearts represents brothers and sisters united in Christ and circling the earth as his witnesses.
• On the top of the cake is the gold star, the Star of David. The star shone bright heralding Jesus' birth and lighting the way to the manger.
• The red candle is Jesus who came into the dark world to bring truth and light to all who are willing to receive it.

Easter

Easter Resurrection Cookies

On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the  cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the third day, Jesus followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty!

* If you have a child with a nut allergy, consider replacing the pecans in the recipe with toasted soybeans.
