A vital family milestone deserves a cake worthy of remembering, such as confirmation. These cakes often incorporate Christian symbols such as crosses and doves. You may also include details about who was being confirmed, along with the date and name of the ceremony.
Sweet Bloom offers two stunning communion and confirmation cakes: on the left is a stylish pale blue cake adorned with delicate doile lace design, and on the right, there is an elaborate shell pink creation featuring intricate gold leaf detailing – both would make lovely options for girl’s first communion or confirmation ceremonies.
Pearl-encrusted cross design.
As Catholic girls age and celebrate their First Holy Communion or Confirmation, one of their biggest celebrations is receiving their First Communion or Confirmation cakes. Edible lace or floral designs may be used on these special cakes, such as this stunning lavender damask design from Sweet Bloom or this gorgeous shell pink cake with gilded silver detailing from The White Cakery – these unique cakes make this occasion truly memorable!
Karen Keaney of Roses and Bows Cakery employed edible lace to beautiful effect when designing this little girl’s communion cake, while Karla Chumpitaz of Sweet K Cake Design created angelic communion girl model toppers that would add the finishing touch for any confirmation or first communion cake for girls.
These adorable toppers from The Artful Bakery in Ireland would make a fantastic final flourish to any confirmation or first communion cake for boys and girls, with The Artful Bakery also offering more luxurious cake decorations like their amazing Mannequin and Dressing Table design by Paula Cake Couture that provide a unique finish for confirmation or christening cakes.
Little boy and girl toppers
Many children regard their First Communion as almost like a mini wedding, and cake designers love creating stunning toppers that add the perfect final touches for confirmation cakes for both boys and girls. Karla Chumpitaz used edible lace beautifully on this pretty communion girl model below left, while Hada Straviesas created an adorable top-tier design suitable for Christenings as well.
Sweet Bloom’s pale blue design below left would also look lovely on baptism or christening cakes, featuring lattice lace stenciling and gold lettering as finishing touches, while The White Cakery’s more sophisticated cross design in delicate shell pink adds elegance. Both methods could also be customized into fantastic mannequins and dressing table toppers for fashionistas!
Mannequin and dressing table design
One of the most significant celebrations for Catholic children in countries where this ceremony occurs is their First Holy Communion, and one way of commemorating it is with a cake that looks just like their white communion dress. Edible lace decorations often mimicking this appearance are popular choices; Sweet Bloom created this exquisite doile lace design on the left, while The White Cakery used a pink gilding shell design on the right.
Crosses or doves, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, are often chosen to decorate confirmation cakes. Additionally, custom piped messages such as the confirmand’s name or Bible passage can add personalization – though remembering not to add too many words could cause the cake to look cluttered!
Final touches for any religious-themed event include adding a confirmation cake featuring a mannequin and dressing table design that captures the unique qualities of its recipient, such as their style or interests while reminding them of their faith and commitment to Christ. Karla Chumpitaz creates some unique fondant models, including angelic little communion girl toppers (above left) and lovely pigtailed ones on both ends (above). They would make great additions to communion cakes designed especially for girls!
