#C01 - How to Make a Resurrection Day Cake Video!

Something new for me!!! I've done a very short video (51 seconds!) on how to very easily make a Resurrection Day Cake. Our family has been doing this for years, and I thought you might want to start this Easter tradition with your family as well, to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus.

We use it as the centerpiece for our Easter dinner, and it is a reminder all during the meal that "He is not here!! He is risen!!" Hallelujah!!!!!!!!

Here's how to make a Resurrection Day Cake:

1. Buy or make a cake.
2. Dig out a "cave" in the side.
3. Put a cookie or peppermint pattie as a "stone" next to the "empty tomb".
4. Decorate or not as you wish (get the kids involved!).
5. Cut the cake from the back in order to keep the "empty tomb" as long as possible.

You can just leave the cake as is. But I like to put fresh flowers from my back yard on top, a sort of picture of new life from the earth. After I told my young church mothers about this, one family put knocked down little green army men for the guards! Another folded a stick of gum and put in the "cave" for the folded grave clothes! (I'll bet the kids were in on this! But I never went this far!)

Please comment if you make a Resurrection Day Cake.

Enjoy!!
