3rd layer = is green for life and represents the new life we have in

Wow, this is awesome. I grew up with us baking a birthday cake for Jesus as a family and decorating it, but it was just a cake. Whatever kind we decided on as a family.
ReplyDeleteThen on Christmas we'd light the candles on the cake, we didn't really count how many because Jesus is eternal.
We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus.
Then we blowed the candles out as a family and said right after,
"We are not blowing out the light of this world, we are taking him into our hearts."
Yet this cake and birthday party would be a great witnessing tool to bring little ones to understand salvation.
Thanks for sharing this.
Our family also bakes a cake for Jesus and we sing Happy Birthday however I look forward to making the layer cake. It is so much more meaningful.
