Happy Birthday, Jesus! Easy Bake Oven Cake

During Sunday's Advent devotion, our family used the recipes for Pretty Pink Princess/Green Monster Cake and frosting that I shared recently here and made a birthday cake for Jesus with inspiration from Lisa Whelchel's book, "The ADVENTure of Christmas".

First, we made one recipe of red cake. The red represents the blood of Jesus.

Next, we made one recipe of green cake. The green represents eternal life through Him.

Then, we made the frosting recipe and tinted it with yellow food coloring to represent the birthday of the Son of Righteousness.

We placed one yellow birthday candle in the center of the cake to represent Jesus as the center of our lives.

Finally, we added four candles (three blue and one pink) like an advent wreath. You could also use one candle for each member of the family to represent each person's life revolving around Jesus.

Then we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus! What a fun way to end an advent devotion (or a meaningful way to celebrate on Christmas morning).
