My husband passed away over two months ago. We had a celebration of life for him and not a funeral. We did exactly what you said. Family and friends enjoyed talking and enjoying the memories of this sweet guy. So much nicer than funerals!

[@karenduncan7heartmender]

Gracie Lee, I did the same type of thing when my husband passed away in 2011. I never thought of calling it a celebration of life. We called it a memorial service and it accomplished the same thing. Two of our former pastors and our then pastor were there. The funeral director thought that when it was open for remarks, it would only be about 10 minutes. People were still talking about him an hour later. He was much loved 😊

[@karenduncan7heartmender]

You have my condolences ❤

[@lindahamilton4349]

I made this cake today complete with ground cloves and 9 inch pan. Cut the frosting recipe in half. There was plenty. It is delicious, I love that slight spice taste. Before making I checked online for spices that pairs well with chocolate. Clove is listed. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

So glad you liked it.

[@patsmith5947]

You look a lot skinner, very cute and it is so hard for girls to lose weight, I’ve been trying. But I’m 75 and I hardly eat anything but I gained after my husband died in 2006 and I started eating I think to comfort myself and you know it’s a lot easier to gain than lose.

[@janetscott5252]

Your funeral cake brought to mind my funeral pie! I owned a little local grocery store, I was called to make pecan pies for a funeral dinner.....well I was out of pecans on my shelves sooo I grabbed walnuts! Guess what it was absolutely delicious & everyone likes it better than pecan & have named it Janet's Funeral Pie!!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

A personal creation!

[@CVenza]

Hot melted butter thins the batter. Use room temperature melted butter instead or let it sit awhile to stiffen. Great story.

[@analyticmoviereviews101]

I'm boycotting Hershey because of the stunt they pulled, but I found some really awesome organic cocoa powder to substitute it with and really want to try this cake. It looks amazing! Thanks for the recipe!

[@cathydee8401]

The school cafeteria ladies when we were children made what we called a Texas chocolate sheet cake. I still make it for special occasions only. Make mine with pecans in the frosting poured over the warm cake. Yummy!😋🤠

[@beckystewart4423]

Bryant's grandmother was cafeteria manager at one of our elementary schools. She was amazing.

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

She worked there for 53 years, hope all is well Becky!

[@stephaniecampbell6811]

have you heard of making a box cake taste like a bakery cake? use any box cake mix, any flavor. using box instructions.....substitute the water with milk. and substitute the oil with 2 sticks melted butter. and add one or two extra eggs over what the box calls for. and finally add 1 pkg vanilla dry pudding. bake as directed on box. 😋

[@Tameka731]

I make it like that all the time. It taste more like a homemade cake, not bakery bought cake. I learned about this way about 2 yrs ago and now it’s the only way I make box cakes now!! What a difference!!

[@katthevampire942]

I learned this a long time back and it works!

[@vickystevens6123]

Also substitute the oil with mayo or with applesauce and it tastes just as good I don't like to put a lot of butter in my cakes during my cooking because then I feel like Paula Deen

[@seasmith6559]

Is feeling like PD a bad thing?😉

[@paulettebaker5587]

I also mix everything together but before pouring into the pan I turn mixer on whip and whip for just a 1 min to put air in the cake. It makes it lighter and not dense.

[@lindawolfe2092]

I always take pound cake to grieving families. My children ask everytime I make a pound cake " who died". I love your channel so uplifting.

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Thank you Linda ❤️

[@faigee3493]

Very sweet gesture observant children 😆 Teaches them to care

[@evie7845]

That sounds like Jeanne Robertson.She always made a pound cake for the family that their loved one passed away.She was a Christian comedian who recently passed away.

[@kaceyferguson3579]

I am a funeral director/embalmer and I’m so glad I saw this video. We have funeral potatoes and funeral burgers where I am located but I have never heard of funeral cake. Such a neat story behind it. Thank you for sharing, I love to learn new things about my profession ❤️

[@lindachavezw...246]

What are funeral potatoes? Never heard of them.

[@kaceyferguson3579]

It’s basically a potato casserole with hash browns, cream of something soup, sour cream, cheese and seasonings then topped with corn flakes or potato chips and baked. They are really delicious but there are several different variations

[@ondreacounts2556]

@@lindachavezw...246 It's aka Cheesy Potatoes, just Google either one & it'll come up. It's quick & relatively easy & VERY good. It got the nickname funeral potatoes bcuz it seemed like every time someone would pass away & the dinners that followed the ceremony, THIS would always seem to make an appearance. Basically due to the fact it's a VERY large amount, & quick to put together. You can cut the recipe in half too.

[@laureldarby1703]

Thank you New to meet too , will be making this too. 🐈

[@laureldarby1703]

Me

[@coolstamper]

That cake looks delicious and there’s nothing better than home made frosting!!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[@rockubtzer]

Cloves & Cinnamon together give a pumpkin pie-ish flavor to the cake. It's called a spice cake. Great with coffee or tea. Some ginger and a small dash of nutmeg would kick it up too.

[@PoohBear007]

Saddest moments 😢

[@ms_chigger]

Your hair looks so pretty & totally is becoming to you. Marvelous cake.

[@lynettesauer9890]

I love that bit of history. I would definitely continue to call it a funeral cake. My brother was just interred last week. We shared stories over cheesecake 🧡

[@junegalluzzi4042]

My sister lost her 33 year old handicapped son last month,but,he loved chocolate cake,not sure we could make it and talk without a boat load of tears in it!! Her only child 😞

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Oh my so sorry

[@teresanorris4769]

Texas sheet cake! That’s what they made is school and it was almost exactly like that. 😂

[@lindapeterson8717]

I've heard of funeral potatoes, but never funeral cake.... But boy it sure looks good! Way to stay strong Leslie! 💛🤗

[@terryeaston5311]

I said the same when I seen this.. I was like wait it's funeral potatoes I thought 🤔 then I seen your message I was ok I was right.. 😂 never hurd of funeral cake ..

[@mom57-54]

Funeral jello

[@janicescott7338]

Me too, just heard of Funeral potato’s. I think it came from the Mormon’s.

[@justinekessner2645]

NOT MAKING FUN, BUT WHAT IS FUNERAL POTATOES??? THANK U!!!!!!!!!

[@joanfels6641]

While you were making this cake, my mind kept going back to a cake that was a favorite on the school menus. When Bryant said it looked like one he had in school, I just had to share my “school “ cake! It is a Wacky Cake. It uses no egg or dairy and is very, very moist. Another reason it is called wacky is supposedly you can mix in the pan you cook it in. I don’t! We generally eat it warm and just sprinkled with powdered sugar. Wacky Cake 1 1/2 c flour 1 c sugar 4 T cocoa 1/2 t salt 1 t soda 1 t vanilla 1T vinegar 6 T oil 1 c water Mix all together and place in an 8x8 or 9x9 greased pan and bake at 350 degrees until toothpick comes out clean. About 30 min. So very good!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Sounds great

[@annseigman1824]

My mom used to make this cake all the time when we were young. We called it cheap cake.

[@junegalluzzi4042]

We put a coconut pecan frosting on the Wacky Cake,it’s so good!

[@jerrilynernsting903]

Reminds me of school cake

[@ToniB5758]

These are the best cakes!

[@melissacannon4035]

Way to go cake looks really good it reminds me of my mom's mayonnaise cake or you can use applesauce instead of mayonnaise take care of God bless

[@deborahpickens2327]

Melissa, would you share the mayonnaise cake recipe please? My grandmother use to make it. Thank you, God Bless,

[@maxtraks]

I thought maybe this was called funeral cake because the taste was "to die for"😉

[@vaughncurry1239]

The name Funeral Cake is traditional as it was usually made for a home where a death had occurred! It was made with ingredients found in most kitchens!

[@acreymundo]

Thank you for sharing. I just recently discovered your channel. I like the way you present and your smile is really lovely. You seem genuine. I usually shy away from pastor, churchy or overtly religious people. But I’m enjoying your recipes. Thank you.

[@kaycash8575]

Beautiful cake which looks extremely delicious.

[@bettyalgier4245]

While researching for a cooking class I did a Bundt cake. Bundt in German apparently means gathering. Also, years ago I used to hear that Raisin Pie was "Funeral Pie". Just fyi.

[@annseigman1824]

Looks good. Texas Sheet Cake is delicious as well. I made the Butter Pecan Cake. Yum, Yum! My husband loves it! Thanks, Leslie.

[@anitaelghandor7295]

Great story, can't wait to make it,thanks for sharing 😁😁😁😁✨🌟

[@cathylaycock5598]

Friendly tip, turn mixer on low to begin with. It will cut way down on splashing liquids and flour. Ground cloves is wonderful in pies, muffins along with cinnamon. Also when creaming butter and sugar together, definitely have beaters going slower and longer. This will actually fluff up that bit before you add the eggs. I’ve learned this through experience. 😊❤️🇨🇦

[@brendagoodman3222]

comfort cake

[@cathysaucedo8101]

It looks fantastic but I think at our house we're gonna call it a sharing cake . Cause we'll be sharing memories from our home an life . Thank you for sharing .

[@rosepitts3541]

The cloves give this cake a unique flavor it is very good !

[@lucyspell6526]

This looks sooo yummy! It has to be good if its chocolate! Perfect size to make for just 2 or 3 people so it won't "hang around too long. Interesting story that goes with it.

[@Pamela_Gram]

Loved the story of the funeral cake. As one of the few that doesn't like chocolate cake I won't be making this cake. But it does look good. I'll check with hubby and see if he'll want it as he loves chocolate, but rarely eats the cakes.

[@wandajones5479]

Looks good and I like the cup his milk is in.

[@deborahhenry4305]

Leslie, I like the name of the cake, the story, and I know I would really like the cake. I'll be making it.

[@marcysikes]

Like you I can’t eat this cake because of being on a diet. I may make the cake to take to a covered dish gathering. Simple and delicious is just what I look for when sharing with others! Thank you!

[@denisedale6205]

One of my favorite things on earth I must say…chocolate cake & milk! My youngest son too…I will be trying this…this is way simpler than the one I usually make 👍

I've never heard of the funeral cake...here in Kentucky, we do funeral sandwiches which is usually homemade bologna salad. Your cake looks delish!!
