A silver wedding is a celebration timed to the 25th anniversary of family life. For a quarter of a century, the couple went side by side through a lot - in their lives there were happy events and difficulties that they managed to overcome together. As a sign of love and loyalty on the day of celebration spouses decided to give a beautiful and symbolic cake.
Features of the celebration
The 25th anniversary of life together has a beautiful name - Silver Wedding, because by this time the relationship between husband and wife had become tender, bright and strong like precious metal. If the family decided to celebrate this significant event, then you should think in advance about the menu for invited friends and relatives, and a cake is a separate item. Treats on this day should be arranged in accordance with the idea of a holiday and become a symbol of tender and deep feelings between spouses.
Before you choose a festive cake design, you should consider its composition and recipe of cakes and fillings.
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 airy creamy layer, but for cakes with excess butter, it is better to say “no” to such a day - this is quite heavy food, which is often contraindicated for people who have crossed the 40-year-old age.
It’s no secret that the spouses themselves and their families are people of mature age, so you shouldn’t 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 focus on yogurt, cottage cheese, caramel fillings, also suitable for praline, tiramisu or poultry milk.
If a large number of guests are invited to your holiday, you can make a cake using several fillings or soaking, for example, strawberry cream goes well with banana, and milky cream with chocolate or vanilla. Fruit treats will also be a good solution for a silver wedding - this is a very light dessert that does not give a feeling of heaviness in the stomach.
Design
With the composition of treats figured out - now is the time to start choosing a design. Of course, 25 years together is a landmark date, so the cake should be solemn and luxurious. Here a multi-storey dessert decorated with figures, pearls and shimmering ribbons will be appropriate. Laconic treats covered with silver mastic alone look no less stylish. This cake will look stylish and very expensive.
Another modern, but very interesting idea of a wedding anniversary cake is a cupcake dessert. This option is gaining more and more popularity due to an interesting presentation, which appeals to all guests. And as a suitable dish in this case, it is better to use multi-tier coasters for sweet pastries - cupcakes can be arranged on the lower “floors”, and a small cake for two, which the spouses will cut at the end of the celebration, can be placed at the top.
Cupcakes can be designed in the style of the overall 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 and touching inscriptions - declarations of love and respect will be appropriate here.
Whichever decor option you prefer - special attention should be paid to the color scheme.The cake must of course be aged in silver shades, thus symbolizing the very essence of the jubilee.
The white cake with silver ribbons presented to parents looks very good - moreover, the ribbons can be real, located along the bottom edge of the treats or sweet, made of food mastic or other sweet paste.
Classics of the genre - this anniversary cake with the inscription "25 years", however, the inscriptions may vary. For example, you can display "Congratulations" or "Advice 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 figurines of swans and flowers. Such decorations are very symbolic and say 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 family well-being, harmony and eternal spring in the relationship.
Perhaps the perfect cake decor for the 25th anniversary of living together will be the hearts that tell everyone about the great and sincere love of the spouses. The treat prepared from these elements will emphasize undying feelings. By the way, in this case, you can retreat from the traditional silver 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 the partners have been lighting each other for .
Interesting examples
Treats for a silver wedding can have very different shapes. Popular classic round cakes or asymmetrical, made in the form of hearts or any other figures. Many-tiered decorations look very good, however, and single-tiered ones are not inferior to them in their style and sophistication.
Any treat option that will emphasize the theme of the event will be the perfect decoration of the table. The usual dessert is decorated with figures of mastic, powdered sugar, cream, lace or ribbons, as well as fresh or artificial flowers. Looks good and photo printing, depicting a married couple. Silver decoration should become an obligatory attribute of a ceremonial cake - this color should certainly be present in large quantities.
