The history of wedding and anniversary cakes can be traced back to the Roman Empire (509 to 27 B.C.). Of course, the appearance and substance of these types of cakes have changed markedly since then. It was the tradition in Roman times, for wheat cakes to be broken over the head of the bride for luck, and for the bride and groom to partake first, and the guests to scramble thereafter for the remaining crumbs.
Celebrating an anniversary is a milestone for many couples. Some anniversaries are celebrated with large parties and many guests, while other anniversaries are quiet affairs as the couple celebrates together. However, every celebration needs an anniversary cake. The size, flavor, design and decorations of the anniversary cake are choices the couple can make regarding their anniversary celebration.
Anniversary cakes come in all sizes and shapes. Consider a flat, rectangular cake, layered cake or round cake. Another option is having a replica made of the wedding cake. Other couples opt for anniversary cakes in a special shape such as the number of years they were married. Think about how many people will enjoy the cake when selecting the type.
Celebration cake decorations can be anything the couple wants. Consider using the couples name, the date they were married or how many years they have been married. This type of decoration is more common on round or rectangular cakes.
Perhaps the easiest way to decorate an anniversary cake is to simply frost it in a tasty frosting and purchase fun candles that state the number of years you've been together from the supermarket. This way, you instantly have a lovely, tasty cake that represents your anniversary.
