Epiphany Cakes


Each year at St. Louis to celebrate the Epiphany of our Lord, our priest Father Timothy Gaines helps the Kindergarteners bake Epiphany cakes. Each Kindergartener makes a cake to be delivered to a classroom. They start by cleaning the coin that will go into each cake. They use toothpaste to clean the coins – Kindergarteners think that’s funny! They each have a cake pan and add ingredients together with a little help from Father and their teacher, Ms. Kristen Oliver. After the cakes have been baked, the students frost and decorate them with sprinkles and candy treats. Then, three at a time, deliver their cakes to each classroom dressed as kings.
