Lent Saturday Breads 2026

I made bread on each Saturday of Lent as a Spiritual discipline. I shared the breads with friends and neighbors.

These are "Empty Tomb" rolls for Easter Sunday morning. When you bite into them, there is an empty space representing the empty tomb. 

Daniel Tiger Cakes!

This 3-layer chocolate and white 6-inch round cake is Daniel Tiger Neighborhood theme. It has Daniel Tiger with trees, the sun, clouds and stars wishing this two year old a happy birthday! He loved this cake that he shared with his Mama and Gramma!

This Daniel Tiger cake is half chocolate, half white 12" square cake for that same 2-year-old for his big birthday celebration with friends and relatives. Those same candles were lit and "Happy Birthday" sung again. He was delighted and had a glorious birthday celebration!

 

Waffle House

When I asked Ethan what cake he wanted for his 7th birthday, he said he didn't want cake. He wanted waffles! I made four rainbow waffles and built 1/4 size waffles inside the rainbows using whipped cream and sprinkles (and some toothpicks!). I also used my small heart shaped waffle maker. He was very pleased with his "Waffle House!" His brother, dad and I had a great time enjoying waffles with him! We had syrup, fruits and more whipped cream and sprinkles to add to them. We also had homemade vanilla ice cream!

 

Flower Cupcakes

I made these flower cupcakes with pudding filling for my friend to celebrate her January birthday at a breakfast. She wasn't up to coming to the breakfast, so another friend and I visited her at home. She loved the cupcakes and the visit! Turned out to be a well timed visit. My friend went into Hospice and passed away about one month later. I miss her a lot! 

 

Pokémon Ball Birthday Cake

This is my grandson's 10th birthday cake. He loves Pokémon! 

I made a Pokémon Ball using round bowl pans. I used one chocolate

cake mix and 1 yellow cake mix with Sprinkles added for color.

Ben loved his cake and the homemade Vanilla Ice Cream that went with it!

 

90 Years Loved

My Aunt Marlene turned 90 this year! the square cake is half chocolate and half white.

The top cake is Golden Yellow. This cake would make about 95 servings.

She loves to play Bingo and she likes Garfield. 

It was a nice party!

 

Barnyard Dance Birthday Cakes

Max turned 1 year old. One of his favorite books is

Barnyard Dance. The cake on the left is his "Smash" cake.

The other is for the other folks.

He did a great job with his cake--white and chocolate.

The animals are Rolled Fondant.

 

Cake made from Grandson's Drawing

Ethan drew me a picture of what he wanted for his January birthday.

He asked for vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.

I made a 6-layer 6" round cake with those flavors.

The tree, star, packages and snowflakes were what he drew.

He was excited about his cake. We had fun cutting it to serve.
