Purchasing or creating a beautiful and meaningful anniversary cake is one way to celebrate a precious marriage milestone with others and give a beautiful gift to the happy couple. There are plenty of ways to create a special cake that will delight the guests and create meaningful anniversary memories for the honored couple.
Photo Cakes
Many bakeries offer photo cakes for little or no extra cost. You can use a wedding photo of the couple or even a more recent photo to give the cake an extra personal touch. The bakery uses computerized photo imaging to add the photo to the top of the anniversary cake. It is completely edible and a great way to pay tribute to the anniversary couple.
Anniversary Symbols
One way to design an appropriate wedding cake is to look up which wedding anniversary symbol belongs with the year of the anniversary that is being celebrated. For instance, because the ruby is the symbol of the 40th anniversary, take the opportunity to decorate a 40th anniversary cake cake in ruby red. You could even have a ruby drawn on the top of the cake in icing and "Happy 40th Anniversary" written on the cake. The theme of the ruby anniversary can be carried over into the rest of the party with decorations such as a "Happy 40th Anniversary" banner that includes a ruby and red balloons in the party area.
Number Cakes
One way to say "Happy Anniversary" is to have two cakes made in the shapes of the number of years the couple has been married. For instance, if the couple has been married 10 years, the cakes would be shaped like a one and a zero. Cover the cakes in candles and have them iced in the couple's favorite colors. This type of cake is especially good for large groups, since it feeds more people than one smaller traditional cake.
Wedding Cake Replicas
If you really want to wow the anniversary couple, have a replica of their wedding cake created to celebrate their anniversary. Take a wedding photo of the cake to a local bakery and ask if the cake can be replicated in a smaller version. The couple will appreciate the thought and extra time that it took to get them an authentic replica wedding cake.
Wedding anniversaries are a time to celebrate lives shared together. With one of these special anniversary cakes, the couple being honored will have memories to cherish for a lifetime.
