Christmas Cake Recipes
 Baby Jesus CakeThis cake is made by someone in our family every year. We have a Christmas tradition in our family where every Christmas a chocolate sheet cake is made and it is Jesus' Birthday Cake. My mom started this tradition many years ago, because she was afraid that there was too much Santa...and not enough Jesus in our Christmas celebrations. Every year a cake is made. We have a little nativity that we put on the cake. We also have a candle on the cake. We all sing Happy Birthday to Jesus..and the youngest child in the family gets to blow out the candle. This was a very important tradition for my Mom and all of us (my sisters and their families), so that everyone celebrated the true reason for Christmas! Even though my Mom passed away on Christmas day, 2003, we still continue this tradition and will pass it on to our children and future grandchildren in her honor.
