Got a call for a cake for a briss... and I 'm totally stumped (oh geez, no pun intended!) Anyone done one? Got any ideas or pix?

What is a briss?

Maybe something like you would do for a Baptisimal (sp) cake, but instead of a cross, a star of david? Just a thought.

Did you ask the person who ordered the cake what they wanted? Maybe just something simple with a saying or something? I would call the person who ordered for sure to see what they want.

However, I did have to laugh at your post. Then my mind to went all sorts of funny crazy cakes you could do. But I guess they just wouldn't be right for the party huh?

A bris is a Jewish baby boy's circumcision. This is also the time the baby is given a name and publically welcomed into the Jewish faith. I've never seen a Jewish star shaped cake for this, but you could do a Kippah shaped cake, or a Torah, or any welcome baby boy cake. There is a cake in the gallery that was done for a bris, it was made by izabel:

Kathi

I agree with JoanneK, find out what the family was thinking of.

I was at a bris once where a cake said "Happy Bris Day" on it! It seemed a little strange, but the family has a good sense of humor. You have to know your audience for something like this.

Something simple like "Mazel Tov" and just some decorative border might be fine.
