September 8th is Our Lady's birthday and Sept 12th is the feast of ”The Holy Name of Mary”! I thought I’d share the ”M” cake I made to celebrate these feast days last year. This cake is very easy to make if you have a 13 x 9-inch pan you can create it!

If you want to make an ”M” cake, first bake a cake in a 13 x 9-inch rectangular pan. After it has cooled cut it long-ways into 3 even sections. Then cut one of the 3 sections in half. (see picture below.)

Place your cut shapes onto a jellyroll pan or foiled cardboard sheet. Create a ”M” shape with the cut cake parts. I trimmed a few parts off to make it look a little more like an ”M”.

Then, add icing. I added a few drops of blue food coloring to white icing for ours.

Next, I decorated it with some icing flowers.

I also added coconut around our ”M” for the coconut lovers in my house.

It was a great cake to celebrate our birthday party for Mary! This would be a fun cake to make if you are teaching your kids about the letter ”M”, too! ”M” is for Mary!
