Advent Week 4: Saturday

Birthday Cake for Jesus

Birthday parties are fun, and one of the best parts of the party is the cake. What is special about this cake is not the taste or the design, but the story.
You will need:
1 box of white cake mix (or your favorite white cake recipe)
1 box of chocolate cake mix (or your favorite chocolate cake recipe)
Vanilla frosting
food coloring: red, green and yellow
birthday candles
optional: heart candies, yellow star, large red candle.

Prepare cakes according to the box/recipe directions. Divide the white batter in half. Drop several drops of green food coloring in one half, and red food coloring in the other half. Pour into 8″ round cake pans and bake according to recipe directions.
The chocolate layer reminds us that we are sinful.
The red layer reminds us that Jesus shed his blood for our sins.
The white frosting reminds us that Jesus has given us a clean heart.
The green layer reminds us to grow in Christ.
The yellow decorations remind us of heaven.
The candles remind us Jesus is the Light of the World.
