What is the symbolism ?
Start with a white cake representing "Whitsunday." The cake can be home-made or store-bought, which ever you choose. To keep it simple, just use a white cake mix.
Now for the decorations:
- White Frosting – For "Whitsunday"
- Large Candle in Center – represents Christ our Light, who promised to send the Holy Ghost.
- 12 Birthday Candles – represent the 12 Apostles and the tongues of fire.
- 7 red hearts – made of candy or icing, represent the 7 gifts of the Holy Ghost
- 12 strawberries – represent the 12 fruits of the Holy Ghost
Before cutting the cake, blow out the candles representing the "mighty wind."
Serve with vanilla ice cream and even more strawberries!!
