When Alicia and Andrew planned their re-commitment ceremony, Alicia wanted a twist on the traditional sand ceremony. So she came up with “The Baking Ceremony.” Their wedding planner, Josh of MarriedByJosh.com, shared with us the details of this delicious unity ceremony…

Aw, so you don’t actually end up with any baked goods? Just a committed relationship? Laaaame.
🙂
I used the exact amount of dry ingredients needed so you certainly could add the wet ingredients and end up with baked goods. However, I wanted a jar I could keep forever in the kitchen just like you would with a sand ceremony jar. And I liked the idea of having crystals to represent love to keep and pass on as well.
Might just steal this idea…it might be nice though if something comes from it at the end. I am thinking a browny cake or something we can serve at desert (with mass produced versions for the rest of the guests). Hmmm…something I will be thinking about
You could perhaps do a ‘raw’ brownie if you want to serve something… then you dont have to bake it.. just blend in a mixer, press into a pan and cut 😀
I love this idea and how it lends itself to setting up the couple for the re-commitment ceremony in the future. I would rather have it sit in its jar until it spoils, but if someone did want the baked good to be enjoys, lets say, at the wedding, then the ingredients couple be the same as the cake (or cupcakes).
This is the coolest idea! We have been searching for a way to personalize our ceremony. We don’t like the sand or candle idea. We are huge foodies and my fiances love language is for sure food. I won him over with my baking and cooking. HOW CUTE!!! thank you for sharing! And I love the idea of keeping it in a jar forever in our kitchen 🙂
