    So I'm having a bit of a tiff with the misses. My son is getting baptised on Sunday and were getting a cake, she wants to put some barf message like "Andrew, Gods precious gift"

    I want to keep it simple like "happy christening" or something like that!

    So after-hours whats your best suggestion for a christening cake?

    To be serious. That message suggested by your partner is really cheesy. I don't think I could stomach cake after reading that.

    I don't get it - that's not funny or inappropriate at all.

    I actually cannot wait to say that to a kid some day! :D

    How about 'my parents signed me up without my consent to to a superstitious anachronistic cult who will never acknowledge the fact that I might not wish to belong when I'm old enough to make up my own mind, and all I got was this crappy cake'?

    You may need a bigger cake...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 654 ✭✭✭girl2


    I do the odd cake for people and some of what people want has included:

    Welcome Baby Whatever.
    God Bless Baby Whatever.
    Whatever - Christening.

    Although one of the nicest ones was a very simple design - plain white with a wee sugar craft crib on it (cutesie wee baby in the crib) and the only message being the baby's name.

    Congrats on the baby btw :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,722 ✭✭✭jluv


    "God Bless(insert name)"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 654 ✭✭✭girl2


    Just see the baby's name is Andrew - I didn't include the name in my last post there :rolleyes:

    Don't put anything on it, just bake a jumper in it


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I'd just go along with her idea. It's only a cake, not worth having an argument over. Hope you all have a nice day. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,268 ✭✭✭naughtysmurf


    Just do what you are told so Andrew doesn't grow up as an only child because you wont be getting any ever again if you cross the missus on this

    Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness,
    And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me.

    Welcome baby Andrew.

    why would you want to name a cake?

    Jesus, parents are getting lazier coming up with novel baby names

    Deftlefthand is right, really not worth an argument over it.

    AH answer: How about "Let the brainwashing and indoctrination begin", or "This cake represents my parent's belief in one of the thousands of different religious systems recorded throughout history"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,299 ✭✭✭✭MadsL


    Congratulations on your Christening!
    You are now given a free pass to judge others, inflict guilt and fear, and make moral choices on their behalf yet get absolution for your own horrific behaviour.

    Bit long though eh?

    I'm a cake decorator and usually I'd write "Andrew 27.10.2012" on the cake. And "Congratulations on your Christening Day" on the board.

    But from now on I'm going for this:D

    Oh your wife is one of those mothers huh?

    I quite like that 'Welcome baby Andrew' suggestion tbh...it actually fits alot of things to do with the birth of the kid.
