- 1). Place two 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular cakes side-by-side on a large cake platter.
- 2). Use a serrated knife to shape the two cakes so that they look like a book. Cut the tops of both cakes so that they curve downward on the sides. The two cakes should connect in the middle, but slope downward toward each other as if the center is the binding of a book. The outer sides should slope as well, but not as severely as the inner edges.
- 3). Use a clean cloth to clear the cake you removed off of the cake platter.
- 4). Frost the cake using white frosting.
- 5). Apply gold sanding sugar to the sides of the cake. This will make it look like the pages of many Bibles, which are edged with metallic paint. You can find gold sanding sugar at specialty baking shops and many grocery stores.
- 6). Place gold frosting inside a pastry bag and use the bag to pipe a message onto the cake. For example, pipe a Bible verse that relates to the occasion you are celebrating.
