Epiphany 2020

This is my cake for our Epiphany Open House on Epiphany Sunday, January 5, 2020! It is a 10-inch round 2-layer cake. The bottom layer is Strawberry (with red food color added to make it red) and the top layer is French Vanilla. Strawberry filling is between the layers. The top star is Rolled Fondant and the Silhouettes of the wisemen on the sides are also Rolled Fondant. The little stars are candies.

This cake is the bluest cake I have ever made. I think it represents the night sky well for the travelers. And it will turn your tongue bluegreen!

King's Cake (Gluten Free)

This is a "King's Cake" -- a pastry filled bread for the celebration of Epiphany. The filling is cream cheese and walnut pieces. It is gluten free and served at my January 5, 2020 Epiphany party. A "baby Jesus" is hidden in it.

Three Kings and the Star

The Three Kings and the Star cakes. The star and the king farthest right are Lemon Cake -- each is half of a 10" round cake. The first two kings are Red Velvet cake -- each is half of a 12" round cake. These cakes were made for our Epiphany Open House on Sunday, January 6, 2019.

I made cakes similar to these back in the 70s. At that time, my mother was with me and she helped me with ideas and suggestions. It was such fun to create with her. As I made these, I couldn't help but think about her and remember. I'm still doing cakes, but I miss you Mom!

Epiphany King Cake

This is a gluten free King Cake. I made it for our Epiphany Party. It is a pastry filled with Cream Cheese and walnuts, rolled up and placed in a circle. It is frosted with purple, green and yellow "royal" colors. The person who gets the "Baby Jesus" in his or her serving becomes the king for the evening and wears the crown. That person is king for the year and plans next year's party!
