Easy Christian Cake Ideas: Simple Jesus, Angel & Cross Cakes

Anyone can make these simple Christian cake ideas with a little practice. The key to making a great-looking cake is being creative and thinking outside the box. You can find cake-building kits online or at the local store.

The tools that come with a cake design kit:

• A rotating stand: that allows you to easily decorate the cake from all angles.
• Offset spatula: A long, narrow spatula with a bent handle, used for spreading frosting and smoothing the sides of the cake.
• Piping bags and tips: Piping bags are used to apply decorative frosting or icing to the cake. Tips come in various shapes and sizes to create different designs.
• Cake combs or scrapers: These are used to create textured patterns on the sides of the cake.
• Fondant smoother: A tool used to smooth and shape fondant icing for a clean finish.
• Cake stencils: Stencils with various designs can be used to create intricate patterns on the cake using powdered sugar or icing.
• Cake decorating brushes: Small brushes are used to apply edible color dust, edible glitter, or paint details on the cake.
• Edible decorations: These can include edible pearls, sprinkles, fondant shapes, edible flowers, and other decorative elements.
• Cake leveler: A tool used to slice the cake into even layers for filling and stacking.
• Pastry bags and tips: Besides piping bags, pastry bags and tips can be used for more intricate designs, such as creating delicate flowers or writing on the cake.

If you don’t want to buy all of these supplies you can easily use items you already have in your kitchen. The one thing you need for sure is the Piping Bags & Tips. Other than that you can use toothpicks, knives, spatulas and other kitchen utinsels to make these designs. The store-bought cake design tools will make the job a little easier though.

Lets take a look at some of the Simple Christian Cake Designs

Simple Christian Cross Cake Designs

These cake designs are the easiest to make out of all the cakes we will be looking at. They are just beautifully decorated cakes with a chocolate mold cross on top. You can buy 1000s of different inexpensive chocolate mold designs online. I love using chocolate molds for fun desert creations. You will find an entire box of them in my cabinet.

Easy to Make Simple Jesus cakes

These cakes will take a little more skill and practice with the Piping Bags. I recommend that you draw the design on paper before trying to make it out of frosting. It’s unlikely that you will be able to draw it in frosting if you can’t do it first in pencil.

Cake with Jesus drawn in Frosting:

Cake with Store Bought Jesus candy: you can also do this with a chocolate mold:

Cute Jesus Cake:

For this cake, you will need to build a frame for the figure then use icing to make it look like Jesus . Don’t be scared to use items like ping-pong balls (maybe cut in half for the face) and popsicle sticks covered in modeling chocolate. Just make sure no one eats the figure itself. We don’t want anyone to choke so make sure any kids understand that the figure is not edible. You can also make the Jesus frame with chocolate molds if you don’t want to use those items. Get creative with these cakes and try out different techniques.

Jesus Drawn in Frosting with Blueberry Eyes:

This cake is the easiest design to make and the process is pretty self-explanatory. You can also use this design to make cupcakes.

Jesus Cake with Chocolate Crown:

For this cake you will need to use a curve-shaped object to make the face stick out from the top. You can use something like half a wiffel ball or you can make something out of modeling chocolate. You can also cut a half-circle chunk of cake that should be covered with modeling chocolate or icing. I’ve even seen someone create a face mold on a cake by using a super thin layer of cantaloupe. They cut the rind off and peeled the flesh until it was thin yet still strong enough to hold the icing.

Fancy Jesus Cake:

This cake is just a combination of modeling chocolate, chocolate molds, icing, and a lot of sculpting. This design seems complicated but it is fairly easy for people who are somewhat artistic.

Angle Cakes and Cupcakes:

All of these angel cake designs are made using a piping bag and food coloring. You can use the same method to make a full-sized cake or cupcakes.
