Cake on the wedding anniversary should be special, and therefore it will not be enough to decorate it with banal flowers, here you need a whole plot, a picture of family life or dreams that a husband and wife so want to realize. The design of such a product must be thought out in advance, the plot of the picture and all the details are determined so that the result is at least partially predetermined.
Cream cake will be an alternative if the use of mastic does not satisfy the needs of the family.
The choice of cakes, fillings, additional components of filling the cake, as well as its design, all this is thought out in advance and carefully prepared before the onset of the festive event.
Options for desserts with photo printing

Ideas for inscriptions

The words that will be placed on the product must have some specific meaning, this may be a wish to a young family:
- "Together and forever";
- “This is the beginning of a long and happy journey”;
- “For the two halves who have found each other.”

- “To my dearest man”;
- "Forever Yours";
- "Beloved husband from the clever wife";
- “With love forever.”
