#3's first holy communion cake





 Today is Friday, just two days before #3's first holy communion.  I made a cake for each of the older two boys so I made one for #3 as well.  Here's the cake after it cooled and ready to be frosted.

 Buttercream frosting made and first layer put on the cake.

 Border complete.

 The chalice filled in and topped with the host (white chocolate melted and solidified in a circle)


A few grapes to decorate the sides, and viola! it's done!
