Tomb Cake
1 bundt cake---can be homemade or store-bought---just
make sure there is a hole in the middle.
coconut--died green w/ food coloring
crushed oreos
1 large peppermint pattie (york)
2 cans of chocolate icing
3 crosses--can be homemade from chocolate, popsicle
sticks--anything.
icing to write with
small icing flowers if you want to decorate the
hill--get the store bought kind in the b-day section
of the grocery store.
strip of white cloth with--"He is risen, He is risen
indeed!" written on it or another bible verse.
Directions:
Cut cake in half, but make sure that one half is
slightly smaller than the other. Take the larger half
and set it on your cake plate toward the front. Take
your smaller half and set it right behind it. They
should both look like an upside down u. This is your
hill and the bigger hole in the front is the entrance
to your tomb.
You can use icing to cover the back
hole. Ice your cake with chocolate icing ---or
whichever kind you want. take your coconut and spread
it around the base to make the grass that is around
your tomb.
Write HE IS RISEN on the front of your cake
and place your 3 crosses on top. Take your Oreo crumbs
and put them in front of the entrance to your
tomb--this will be your path.
Put the fabric strip
inside--this is the burial cloth. You can take the
icing flowers and stick them on the side and back of
the tomb. The Peppermint Pattie is placed to the side,
stuck to the icing--the stone is rolled away
