Baylor Law School Graduation

My son graduated from Baylor Law School on Feb. 6, 2010. His cake is a 10"x14" "book" with a "post-it" note on the front. He requested a white green Jello cake. The cake has butter cream icing topped with marshmallow fondant as the book cover. The word "lawyer" is a marble look from marshmallow fondant. He placed 126 gummy bears on it, representing the 126 quarter hours required to complete law school. Green is one of the Baylor colors.

Rose Petal Pink and White

2-layer 8" Strawberry cake. Each layer was cut in half and strawberry filling was put between each layer. The cake is covered with Marshmallow Fondant and decorated in "quilt" pattern with fondant lettering and ruffle. The roses and leaves are Buttercream. This cake was my own birthday cake, and it tasted great!

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" Candy

In addition to cookies, I used my cookie cutters to make the 12 days of Christmas candies. I used white, red, green and dark chocolate candy melts. Most of the time they worked very well.

Below is the story behind the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Hope you enjoy this learning.

From 1558 to 1829, the Roman Catholics were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning, plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.

Partridge in a Pear Tree is Jesus Christ.

Two Turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
Three French Hens stood for faith, hope and love.
Four calling birds are the 4 gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first 5 books of the Old Testament.
The six geese a laying stood for the six days of creation.
The seven swans a swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit - prophesy, serving, teaching, exhortation, contrition, leadership and mercy.
The eight maids a milking were the eight beattitudes found in Matthew 5:3-10.
The nine ladies dancing were the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The ten lords a leaping were the ten commandments.
The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the 12 points of belief in the Apostle's Creed.
