Pearl wedding is called the thirty-year anniversary of living together. During this time, the spouses have grown up children and had grandchildren, they went through joyful and not-so-great events together, and made many mutual friends.
How to celebrate this holiday - each family makes a decision on its own, but in any case, such an anniversary should not go without a festive cake.
Cake selection
An indispensable attribute of any wedding is a large decorated cake, and a pearl wedding is no exception. This confectionery delicacy can be a surprise gift to parents from children and loved ones, or it can be chosen by the heroes of the occasion to your liking. It is necessary to approach the choice of such treat deliberately and with fantasy.
A very interesting idea - to reproduce the cake that the newlyweds had on their table 30 years ago.Most likely, the woman remembers exactly how he looked and what it tasted like. However, in those years in our country beautiful multi-tiered cakes were not yet taken, so it is better to stay on a fundamentally new and unusual dessert for a couple.
You can embody the themes of love and loyalty, and you can decorate the dish in a marine style - after all, pearls are mined from shells. In a word - fantasy is not limited by anything.
It is rather difficult to calculate the required weight of a treat, it largely depends on the number of invited guests. It is noticed that usually a cake is either not enough, or, on the contrary, a lot remains. Therefore, experienced confectioners brought an average rate of about 150-200 g of product per person. So, for 50 people baking a cake weighing 8-9 kg will be optimal.
Pay special attention to sweet stuffing. Do not forget that people who celebrate the 30th anniversary of living together are not so young. Unfortunately, with age, many unpleasant health problems appear in the body, so try to avoid an abundance of whipped cream - prefer light biscuits, as well as yoghurt and fruit fillings.
However, the meringue is also not worth using - such a cake is certainly delicious, but when chopped it starts to crumble - it looks unattractive and not at all holiday.
By tradition, spouses are usually photographed with a cake, and such an untidy look can spoil all the memorable images.
No need to order products with a high content of dyes - it is possible that one of the guests may be allergic to their active ingredients. As for the cakes itself, everything here is limited only to the personal taste preferences of the couple.

For example, if a couple still has a passion for each other and both partners have a pronounced charisma - decorate the cake with roses and poppies in red shades. Such decors will indicate that the husband and wife throughout their lives have not lost the ability to light a fire in each other.
