Baby Dedication at Church

Today there was a baby dedication at our church - Baby Ezra.  Here is a picture of the family and of the cake that we shared as a church.

The boy in the red shirt is not in their family; he just wanted to be in the picture
It's a chocolate cake with green tea and coconut icing.  Cakes here are not as sweet as they are in Canada.  If you look closely you can see that the sheep on top as a bib with the baby's name on it.  The cake was really good, made by a lady at the church named TP!
When the baby is one month old, hard boiled eggs that are dyed red are given out.  Eggs mean fertility in the Chinese culture and red is the colour of good fortune and happiness.  (Though we live in Malaysia, our area has a very large Chinese population; our church is mostly made up of Chinese people)
