Probably, nothing affects a person's performance as much as his happiness in marriage. If everything is fine in the family, his work is going well, and his mood is excellent, and absolutely any test is up to him. No wonder Larisa Dolina sang about the importance of "weather in the house." It is clear that not everything can go smoothly. However, nothing strengthens relationships like half a century together. This is truly a very bright and memorable event during which a festive cake is baked. The closest and dearest people are invited to the golden wedding. In a word, celebrate in a big way. To make your celebration the most unforgettable, we offer you some of the brightest cake design options.

Important pre-holiday planning questions

Not a single solemn event takes place without careful planning and pre-holiday preparation. Therefore, before ordering or purchasing a ready-made dessert, you need to carefully weigh and consider everything. To do this, it is worth calculating the number of invited guests. This must be done in order to know the approximate weight of the future product.

The second important point is to choose the theme of the confectionery creation. For example,a cake for a golden wedding for grandparents can have a standard or multi-tiered shape. It can be presented in a marine style, for example, if the anniversaries had their first acquaintance on the seashore. The cake can be made in the form of a huge car, if the celebration of the spouses is associated with it.

It's all about color

After the chosen theme and the approximate design of the cake, it is necessary to think over its color variation in detail. For example, it makes sense to order a beautiful multi-tiered cake (for a golden wedding) made of gilded mastic. In this case, you can use only partial gold plating (literally make a few small strokes, for example, write 50 years together on a white background) or immerse the entire product in gilding.

The main thing is not to overdo it with decor when decorating. So, on a completely gilded cake, there may be sweet figurines of white doves, beautiful and delicate pinkish or yellowish flowers, thin twigs, butterflies, etc. Gold goes well with chocolate. Therefore, against the background of such a biscuit, you can put several chocolate nets, beautiful bows. But again, everything should be in moderation.

Cake with cartoon characters

If anniversaries love humor and are not satisfied with standard design ideas, their golden wedding cake can be made using cartoon characters. For example, these can be characters from the animated film "Rapunzel", "Cinderella", "Beautyand the Beast”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Shrek” and others.

It is clear that when choosing such heroes of fairy tales, the confectionery itself must correspond to the general theme. For example, if your choice fell on the fairy tale "Rapunzel", then the cake can be made in the form of a large tower, in the window of which the main character is visible. She lowers her hair down, and Eugene, who is in love with her, begins to climb up it (from the lowest tier).

If the cake for the golden wedding is supposed to be made using Shrek and Fiona figurines, then the product may look like an artificial staircase from huge suitcases. This is due to the fact that cartoon characters travel a lot and literally sit on suitcases. Moreover, the largest suitcase will be below, and the smallest will be on top. Shrek will sit on top of him, and charming Fiona will sit on his lap.

White cake variant with gold decor

The golden wedding cake looks great (cream or biscuit, choose for yourself), made in a combination of white and gold. For example, it can be a two-tier snow-white cream cake, decorated with three-dimensional flowers, butterflies, birds. In its very center, it makes sense to install edible figurines of a man and a woman.

As a variation, conditionally play with the drapery of the cake. So, you can turn it into some variation of a wedding dress. To do this, you need to create the effect of folds, and decorate the places of their connection with massive bows, roses, ribbons,beads. All of these embellishments and light decorations are really done with a delicious protein cream on top.

The cake for a golden wedding without mastic will look beautiful. For this purpose, you can use the alternation of white and gold tiers of airy and fragrant biscuits.

Classic of the genre, or a simple pie

If you do not like massive and bulky multi-storey products, choose the classic version. Such a golden wedding cake usually has only one or two tiers.

It is done in neutral colors (gray, beige, white, pink) and contains numbers or sweet figures on top. For example, it can be a cake made in the form of a small pink or red lady's hat. Decorate it with a couple of large decorative elements on top, for example, several flowers and many small beads, swirls, bows or drops are perfect.

By the way, the inscription on the cake itself (for the golden wedding) can be either three-dimensional (large or medium letters, standing separately on top) or flat. In the second case, the inscription is made using a special pastry gun filled with cream. Such letters are simply written, however, they may contain light volumetric elements. And, of course, the festive delicacy itself can really be made in the form of the number "50". These will be huge and edible numbers, a piece of each of which will go to the anniversaries and guests.

Custom heart shape

If you don't want to order classic round cakes, alwaysyou can give preference to a non-standard form in the form of one or more hearts. For example, as an option, several biscuit cakes soaked in light butter cream (made on an oil basis) will do. In this case, multi-layer cakes in the form of hearts will come in handy. They can be topped with cocoa, chocolate or coconut flakes, powdered sugar, and even garnished with seasonal fruits like fresh strawberries.

Decoration of cakes with flowers

When you don't want to overuse decor and use sweet elements, you can always use minimalism. To do this, your cake should be decorated in one color, for example, pale blue. And on top of it, you should beautifully lay a spectacular flower garland with a rare one or more large-sized flowers.

Play with the pie shape

Do you like creativity? Trust your imagination and create an incredible confection that only you will have. For example, imagine your family as a big ship sailing on the waves. On its deck, you can place a pair of figurines of a man and a woman holding hands.

Family life can also be presented in the form of a big book. As a rule, this is already an open book with written pages (after all, half a century, after all, together). On its pages, you can write the names of the anniversaries, indicate the date of the wedding and even make a beautiful congratulatory parting word.

A beautiful memory with an edible photo

Another great option is to use a photo of anniversaries. For example, a photo from the wedding day is suitable. While creatingsuch confectionery masterpieces use photography and a special food printer that prints and transfers it to the cake. Such an image looks very impressive, especially if it is supplemented with the appropriate inscription and numbers.
