Serving a Bible cake at a gathering that celebrates a religious event is perfect for reinforcing the spiritual theme of the occasion. Serve a Bible cake at a church youth group party, a birthday party for a clergy member, or for any occasion that has a religious meaning behind it. To construct a Bible cake, you can use a book-shaped cake pan or, if you don't have one, you can fashion the cake from two 9-inch by 13-inch cakes. Frost your Bible cake with fluffy white icing and pipe a meaningful message on it in gold, and you will create a dessert that will delight its recipient. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Place two 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular cakes side-by-side on a large cake platter.
Use a serrated knife to shape the two cakes so that they look like a book. Cut the tops of both cakes so that they curve downward on the sides. The two cakes should connect in the middle, but slope downward toward each other as if the center is the binding of a book. The outer sides should slope as well, but not as severely as the inner edges.
Use a clean cloth to clear the cake you removed off of the cake platter.
Frost the cake using white frosting.
Apply gold sanding sugar to the sides of the cake. This will make it look like the pages of many Bibles, which are edged with metallic paint. You can find gold sanding sugar at specialty baking shops and many grocery stores.
Place gold frosting inside a pastry bag and use the bag to pipe a message onto the cake. For example, pipe a Bible verse that relates to the occasion you are celebrating.
