~~Monday Made It: Something Special~~

It has been a looooooog time since I linked up with Tara @ 4th Grade Frolics: Monday Made It.  I miss linking up with her but knew when school started, I was going to be limited with time!!  I decided to link up something a little different than my normal classroom project.  I didn't make anything for my classroom but did make something special.  My niece, Abby, celebrated her First Eucharist this past Saturday.  She looked beautiful and the Mass was equally beautiful.  I decided to make her a cross cake.  Many of you (if not all of you) have no idea that I don't cook or bake much.  My daughter is the baker but not me.  I knew it was going to be a challenge but I dove right in and tried anyway.  I must say that the finished cake looked pretty good.  Check out my pictures below!  Don't forget to check out other Monday Made It projects with Tara!!!
