Ideas For Decorating Children's 1st Communion Cakes In MA

By Joseph Young


For many families in the Catholic faith, the First Holy Eucharist is the most important sacrament a person can make in the Church. It marks the ability of the person receiving the Eucharist to understand what the act is and what it means for this person's future in the faith. Children typically make this sacrament by the time they are eight or nine years old. As a parent, you can plan a party that your child will remember by incorporating decorations commonly used for 1st Communion cakes in MA.

When you place your order, the baker will ask you almost immediately how you want it to be decorated. You might already know that you want it to be frosted in white. However, you might not have put a lot of thought into what kinds of toppers to include on it. Your baker will want to know this information.

Another common item to include would be a plastic chalice. The chalice recalls the one used in the sacrament. Many bakeries have plastic chalices in stock. If not, you can typically buy one at a specialty Catholic gift store or your local big box retailer in the months of April or May. They lay flat on the cake's top or can stand up straight, whichever you prefer.

If you have several children who will make the sacrament at some point in their lives, you may want to remember each occasion separately. Rather than guess whose cake is being pictured in videos or photos, you might remember better by having each child's name written in icing. The name helps you and your family recall each celebration separately and also honors the individual child being honored at the party.

Many parents order the decorations to be done in pink or blue icing for the daughter or son being celebrated. You also could order writing in different colors like yellow, green, or purple. The actual frosting for the rest of the order, however, is typically white. White is the color used to commemorate and celebrate this sacrament.

It can be vital that you get this order put in early, however. You also are going to be competing with brides placing their cake orders for summertime weddings. Bakers already have a lot of those orders to get done in addition to those being placed by parents of children making the sacrament during April and May. You may place yours early and perhaps even as soon as January the same year.

By placing the order promptly, you also leave open the possibility of having it made in whatever flavor your son or daughter prefers. Not every kid likes yellow or white cake. Many would prefer to have chocolate or marble cake. Your baker may need time to make flavors in something other than white or yellow.

Cakes are central to First Communion parties. However, you may want to make sure the one for your child is decorated to your specifications. You might keep these tips in mind as you plan the party. You also can act early and make sure you get in ahead of brides getting ready for their upcoming weddings.
