A religious naming ceremony, Baptism, or Christening cannot be celebrated more aptly than with an elegant cake. In fact, traditionally, it is imperative to mark this special day with an exquisite cake. A traditional baptism cake is typically white or ivory in color, decorated with simple piping or sugar flowers. The cake may also be adorned with a cross, which is a symbol of the Christian faith. Common designs for Baptism cakes include crosses, doves, angels, and other religious symbols. Many cakes also incorporate baby shoes, pacifiers, or images of the baptised child.
