Silver wedding is a celebration dedicated to the 25th anniversary of family life. Over a quarter of a century, the couple went side by side through a lot - in their life there were happy events and difficulties that they managed to overcome together. As a sign of love and fidelity on the day of the celebration, the 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 moment the relationship between husband and wife had become tender, bright and strong like a 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 separate item for this is a cake. The treat on this day should be decorated in accordance with the idea of the holiday and become a symbol of tender and deep feelings between the spouses.
Before choosing a design for a festive cake, you should consider its composition and 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 creamy layer, but for cakes with excess butter on such a day, it is better to say “no” - 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 loved ones are people of mature age, so you should not spoil the holiday with digestive problems that will inevitably arise if you treat guests with a cake with an abundance of whipped cream. It is best to stay on yogurt, cottage cheese, caramel fillings, pralines, tiramisu or bird milk are also suitable.
If a large number of guests are invited to your holiday, 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 will also be a good solution for a silver wedding - it is a very light dessert that will not give a feeling of heaviness in the stomach.
Design
We sorted out the composition of the treats - now is the time to start choosing a design. Of course, 25 years together is a significant date, so the cake should be exclusively solemn and luxurious. A multi-story dessert decorated with figurines, pearls and shimmering ribbons will be appropriate here. The laconic treat covered with silver mastic alone also looks no less stylish. Such a cake will look stylish and very expensive.
Another modern, but very interesting idea for a wedding anniversary cake is a cupcake-shaped dessert. This option is gaining more and more popularity thanks to an interesting presentation, which all guests like. And as a suitable dish in this case, it is better to use multi-tiered stands for sweet pastries - on the lower "floors" you can place cupcakes, and at the very top put a small cake for two, which the couple 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. Here, symbolic decors will be appropriate, as well as touching inscriptions - declarations of love and respect.
Whatever decor option you prefer - special attention should be paid to the color scheme. The cake must certainly be made 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 tape can be real, located on the lower edge of the treat 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 can 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 swan figures and flowers. Such jewelry is very symbolic and suggests that throughout this long period 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 prevailing in the family, harmony and eternal spring in the relationship.
Perhaps, the hearts that will tell everyone about the great and sincere love of the spouses will be the ideal cake decoration for the 25th anniversary of marriage. A treat prepared from these elements will emphasize enduring feelings. By the way, in this case, you can deviate 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 contrasted to indicate the unquenchable fire that the partners have been lighting in each other for many, many years .
Interesting examples
A treat for a silver wedding can take many forms. Classic round cakes or asymmetric, made in the form of hearts or any other shapes, are popular. Many-tiered jewelry looks very good, however, and single-tier jewelry is not inferior to them in style and sophistication.
Any option of treats that will emphasize the theme of the event will be the perfect decoration of the table. An ordinary dessert is decorated with figures made of mastic, powdered sugar, cream, lace or ribbons, as well as natural or artificial flowers. Looks good and photo printing depicting a married couple.A silver cake should be an obligatory attribute of the solemn cake - this color must certainly be present in large quantities.
