He is risen! He is risen, indeed.
To create your own Empty Tomb Resurrection Cake, you will need:
one boxed cake mix, prepared according to package directions
small Pyrex bowl
10×10 inch square pan
frosting of your choice (I made a buttercream and tinted it with a few Tablespoons of cocoa
milk chocolate rocks
one large cookie
Roman soldiers, plastic trees and shrubs
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray bowl and square pan with nonstick cooking spray. Fill small bowl about half full with cake batter. Pour remaining batter into square pan. Bake square pan for about 25 minutes and small bowl for about 35. Check every 5-10 minutes for doneness, especially if you are using different size pans. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on rack.
Place square cake on cake board or serving tray. Adhere small bowl on top with a little frosting.
Carve out a small section in the round bowl. Frost both cakes.
Add rocks, plastic trees, and shrubs, Roman soldiers, and cookie. Make sure to let your kids help if they are interested. If you prefer, you can omit the soldiers:
And you can frost the cookie if you prefer that look:
It’s up to you. Just make sure that you lick the beaters when you’re done:

WOW what an amazing cake!! He is Risen, He is Risen indeed!!
I love that cake! I’ll have to give it a try.
I’d LOVE to try this cake! We don’t have any soldiers, though. Wonder if I can find some.
I don’t know that you have to have soldiers. You could use an angel like Lori did. Or you could put Mary and the women looking for Jesus. All sorts of options.
Love your Resurrection Cake! My son doesn’t have any Playmobile sets yet…but your various cakes utilizing Playmobile pieces make me want to buy a few sets for him!:)
@Hattie, it will come soon enough. Believe me.
I think I am going to have to do this with the kids! Great idea!
My kids and I made this today. What a great idea! We could not find rock candy, so we used whole Whoppers and broken up pieces of Whoppers. Thanks for sharing this. Very very easy and fun!
So glad it worked for you and that you were able to improvise. Some Walmarts carry the candy rocks.
We were able to make this cake yesterday, my first cake was a disaster, but the second one turned out great. Thanks for the idea.

@Jen, love it! Thanks for sharing!
@Jen, Can I put your last picture in a Facebook album?
@Jessica Fisher,
Sure, no problem!
The kids and I made this cake after Easter services this morning! It helped to keep our focus on our Risen Savior instead of on eggs, bunnies and candy! Thank you for sharing your creative ideas! I love your blog!
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
That is absolutely fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it!!!
Just showed this to the kidlets – they can’t WAIT to make it!! ha! Thanks.
That is fantastic! Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Just finished mine! I’m emailing you a picture because i had SO MUCH FUN making it!! It’s a surprise for the kiddos tomorrow morning! I even made a little toothpick sign next to the angel to have him saying, “He is not here! He is risen!”
Thanks so much, Jessica!
Oh- and I’m taking the finished product to our Easter breakfast at church with the Scripture passage printed out to sit next to it Matthew 28:2-7. And hubby just got some gauze out of the first aid kit to lay in the “tomb”!!
Did i mention how much FUN this was??!!
@Carole, that is wonderful! Yeah!
Enjoyed making this cake with my girls this weekend. It was a hit at our family Easter dinner and brought out a lot of great conversation with our 5 and 7 yr. old. Thank you so much for sharing your idea. I think this one may become a tradition for us.
@Amy Bergman, fun! Thank you for sharing!
