In our church the kids take a communion class and actually make the unleavened bread. They put all ingredients together, knead and then roll it out. They each put a small cross on it before we baked it. Our Pastor explains everything while we are in this process. The next day the whole congregation receives the holy communion that the kids have made the night before.
Here are some pictures we took with the ipod so they aren't great quality, but at least we have some. :)

Good for them! Such an important step in life! The cake looks pretty good to me and I'm sure it tasted great.
Congratulations to your boys on their First Communion, it is such a special moment. That is a brilliant idea to have the children make the unleavened bread ... it will surely mean so much more and they will gain a better understanding of it's place in Mass.
Your cake looks perfect! It was baked with the most important ingredient a Mother's LOVE! xo HHL
