When you're preparing for a Baptism party, one of the most important items to remember is the cake. Whether you choose to make the cake yourself or order it from a bakery, there are some important questions to keep in mind.
· How many people do you need to feed, and will you be serving a full meal or just dessert? If cake is one of the only food items you'll be having, you may need a larger cake to ensure every guest receives a piece.
Bakeries
· What flavor Baptism cake would you like? If you choose to have just one flavor, you may want to consider a marble cake, which is a blend of chocolate and yellow cake. Or a cake that is half chocolate and half yellow or white allows each person to choose which flavor they'd prefer.
· Do you want one large Baptism cake or a number of smaller ones? Having more than one cake allows for more creativity in decorations, as well as more flavor options for your guests.
· If you are going to have many children present, would you prefer to have cupcakes or individually sized desserts? These may be easier to carry around and would thus eliminate the need for plates and silverware.
· How do you want the cake decorated? It should match the colors of your party decorations. Some bakeries also allow you to put a picture in the middle of the cake. Also keep in mind whether you'd like the cake to be very formal and elegant or more festive and party-oriented.
Before you cut into the cake, be sure to take a picture of the finished product. You'll want to add this to your Baptism album and create a lasting memory!
