The wedding cake

The Silver Wedding is a holiday dedicated to the 25th anniversary of family life. For a quarter of a century, the couple went through a lot side by side — in their lives there were both happy events and difficulties that they managed to overcome together. As a sign of love and fidelity on the day of celebration, it is customary for spouses to give a beautiful and symbolic cake.
Features of the celebration
The 25th anniversary of marriage has a beautiful name — Silver Wedding, because by this moment the relationship between husband and wife has become tender, bright and strong, like a precious metal. If the family has decided to celebrate this significant event, then you should think about the menu for invited friends and relatives in advance, and a cake is a separate item. The treat on this day should be decorated in accordance with the idea of u200bu200bthe holiday and become a symbol of tender and deep feelings between spouses.
Before choosing a design for a birthday cake, it is worth considering its composition and the recipe for cakes and toppings.
The confectionery industry offers a great variety of the most delicious creams and impregnations. However, it is better to stop your choice on products with biscuits and an airy cream layer, but it is better to say “no” to cakes with excess butter on such a day — this is a rather heavy food, which is often contraindicated for people over 40 years of age.

It is no secret that both the spouses themselves and their loved ones are people of mature age, so you should not overshadow the holiday with digestive problems that will inevitably arise if you treat your guests to a cake with an abundance of whipped cream. It is best to stop at yogurt, cottage cheese, caramel fillings, pralines, tiramisu or bird’s milk are also suitable.
If a large number of guests are invited to your holiday, then you can prepare a cake using several fillings or impregnations, for example, strawberry cream goes well with banana, and milk cream with chocolate or vanilla. A fruit treat is also a good solution for a silver wedding — this is a very light dessert that will not give a feeling of heaviness in the stomach.


Design
We figured out the composition of the treat — now it’s time to start choosing a design. Of course, 25 years together is a significant date, so the cake should be exceptionally solemn and luxurious. A multi-story dessert decorated with figurines, pearls and shimmering ribbons will be appropriate here. A laconic treat, covered only with silver mastic, looks no less stylish. Such a cake will look stylish and very expensive.


Another modern yet very interesting wedding anniversary cake idea is the cupcake shaped dessert. This option is gaining more and more popularity due to an interesting presentation that all guests like. And in this case, it is better to use multi-tiered coasters for sweet pastries as suitable dishes — you can place cupcakes on the lower “floors”, and put a small cake for two at the very top, which the spouses will cut at the end of the celebration.
Cupcakes can be decorated in the style of the general decor of the event, in addition, they are often decorated with mastic figures depicting spouses, as well as people dear to them, symbolizing a happy family life — children, grandchildren. Symbolic decors, as well as touching inscriptions — declarations of love and respect will be appropriate here.
Whatever decor option you prefer, special attention should be paid to the color scheme. The cake must certainly be aged in silver shades, thus symbolizing the very essence of the anniversary.
A snow-white cake with silver ribbons presented to parents looks very good. - moreover, the ribbons can be real, located along the lower edge of the treat, or sweet, made from food mastic or other sweet paste.

A classic of the genre is this anniversary cake with the inscription “25 years”, however, the inscriptions may vary. For example, you can display “Congratulations” or “Council and love”, or you can choose another unusual text that is understandable and pleasant to the heroes of the occasion.
And, of course, the wedding cake can be decorated with swans and flowers. Such decorations are very symbolic and indicate that throughout this long period of time, the husband and wife were faithful and supported each other, not stopping in the face of difficulties. And the flowers will indicate the well-being reigning in the family, harmony and eternal spring in relationships.
Perhaps the ideal cake decor for the 25th anniversary of marriage will be hearts that will tell everyone about the great and sincere love of the spouses. A treat prepared from these elements will emphasize undying feelings. By the way, in this case, you can deviate from the traditional silvery hue and make the cake bright or pale pink, pastel or even cool light green, and the hearts themselves can be made contrasting to indicate the unquenchable fire that partners have lit in each other for many, many years. .


Interesting examples
A treat for a silver wedding can take a variety of forms. Classic round cakes or asymmetric ones made in the form of hearts or any other shapes are popular. Multi-tiered decorations look very good, however, single-tier ones are not inferior to them in style and sophistication.
Any variant of the treat that will emphasize the theme of the event will be the perfect decoration for the table. An ordinary dessert is decorated with mastic figures, powdered sugar, cream, lace or ribbons, as well as fresh or artificial flowers. Photo printing depicting a married couple also looks good. A mandatory attribute of the solemn cake should be silver decoration — this color must certainly be present in large quantities. See our photo selection for the most interesting silver cake ideas.
