This lemon cake with lemon buttercream frosting celebration cake is decorated with the flaming chalice and symbols of the First Unitarian Church in Downtown San Jose for the ordination of Jennifer Debusk. Delivery was a little tricky with Jennifer going down the same hall that we were walking down with the cake.
First hidden behind many people, and then out of sight with the cake, we were shown to the cake table. Many ladies surrounded the cake to marvel at the realistic symbols around the cake, and ask what the symbols were made of and how they were made. Despite speculation that we found molds of these symbols, they were actually hand-sculpted by Amy. She studied the church flyer to be certain to get the symbols just right.
First Unitarian Church Openness Symbol
First Unitarian Church Love Symbol
First Unitarian Church Religions Symbol
First Unitarian Church Jewish and Christian Symbol
First Unitarian Church Earth Symbol
First Unitarian Church Humanist Symbol
The ladies were so impressed, they had to show us the actual large symbols lined up around the altar. It was great to see these impressive symbols after looking at the pictures for so long to make the miniatures.

If you’re downtown, go visit the First Unitarian Church on 3rd Street. Everyone there is extremely friendly and will welcome you with open arms.

Dear Kelly,
Wow! I continue to bask in the afterglow of my ordination. Thank you so much for being in charge of the delicious meal. Many people commented on the wonderful food and helped themselves to seconds. And what an amazing cake! Beautiful, artistic, and delicious. How perfect for an ordination that celebrates the arts and nourishment of the body and soul.
