Christmas Birthday Cake

This was a cake that I made for my family. Every Christmas we have a birthday cake for Jesus since Christmas is the day we celebrate his birth. I wanted to keep the design simple but meaningful. I found a website (see below) that had an object lesson for a Christmas cake. This one uses some of those ideas but I decided to decorate it with poinsettias as they are look like a star & are red & candy canes as the story of the candy cane is a symbolic one.
