First Communion cake

Here is one idea for a First Communion cake that combines a chalice with a Mary grotto!

For the chalice, we baked our cake in a 9 x 13 pan, cooled it for 20 minutes, then turned it onto a foil-covered board. (For best results, we recommend freezing cake before cutting into shapes. The cake will cut more easily with less crumbling).

We then  cut out the template below…

…and placed it on our cake, slicing around it with a knife to create the chalice shape.

We colored the frosting yellow and decorated our chalice with various shaped candy decorations.
