A christening is the start of a journey of faith, it’s usually performed when a child is a young baby and parents want them to be included into the flock of the Christian church and therefore, they are baptized with water. A child’s Christening is often a celebration where friends, family, and members of the church gather after it has taken place. And a lovely way to celebrate the child’s new relationship with God is to mark the even with a Christening cake.
Christening cakes come in all shapes and sizes, and actually, it was once a tradition to save the top tier of your wedding cake for the christening of your first child. But there are a variety of options out there, whether you are looking for a Christening cake for a boy or a Christening cake for a girl.
