Every year, living in a marriage, many spouses prefer to please each other with various gifts and pleasant things. Someone does it with chic, and someone prefers to confine themselves to family gatherings and a closed romantic dinner by candlelight. This is especially true during the period of the so-called round dates. At this time, it is customary to give memorable gifts and order an original cake for the wedding anniversary. We will talk about what holiday cakes dedicated to this event can be.
What cakes can I give for a chintz wedding?
The very first wedding anniversary is called "chintz." Therefore, for your 1 year anniversary cake should contain elements of calico items. For example, for such purposes, a cake with an image of a large bed with a chintz bedspread or linen is suitable. Newlyweds can sit or lie on the edge of this bed.
Alternatively, the cake itself can be made in the form of a huge bed or a long quilt. Let it be bright and colorful confectionery, but always with a commemorative inscription or initials of the young. If desired, a wedding anniversary cake can be made in the form of a big heart or a book. In the middle, it makes sense to seat edible figures of the bride and groom or cuddling cute animals, such as bears. It will be useful to make a commemorative inscription. Something like: “The year is behind, everything is ahead”, “The first year you are together”, etc.
What other cake options are possible for the first anniversary?
Since the very first year for the bride and groom is considered a kind of great test, further joint life depends on its successful completion. Therefore, this message must be mentioned in the design of the holiday cake. This means that in the design of the cake for 1 wedding anniversary (a photo of an exemplary design can be seen below), we recommend using various variations of the stairs or steps.
Based on the "chintz promise", the design of the confectionery should not use such an explicit "bed sense". It can be a classic multi-tiered cake, but in a color scheme that resembles bedding. For example, different roses, buds and other small flowers can be seen on a light background. If you pay attention to different photos, a cake on the wedding anniversary (1 year) may contain beautiful ruffles, frills and even ribbons. Well, everything is the same as on real bedding.
What sweets do on the second wedding anniversary?
The second year of living together also has its meaning and is called the “paper anniversary”. When organizing this holiday, it is recommended to use this theme. So, in the design of such a wedding anniversary cake, there may be images of books, documents, paper sheets, as well as homemade paper airplanes, a calendar and love notes.
The product itself can be made in the form of a stack of books or one large edition, a thick family album, a flip calendar, a photocake with the image of young spouses. And since paper is often associated in marriage with temporary family difficulties, each family should learn to deal with them.
But to convey this wisdom to young people, you can make a cake in the form of a sweet house of cards. Handing such a confectionery product, be sure to say that the family difficulties of anniversaries, with due diligence, will be easily destroyed, like a house of cards collapsing from the wind. And let it be just a cream cake for the wedding anniversary, everyone will understand what is the meaning of it being given to the heroes of the occasion.
What cakes are given for a three-year anniversary?
The three-year anniversary is considered “leather”. Old people say that after three years of marriage, people who are married have learned to deal with “paper” troubles in the family and have gained some flexibility. Their relationship became stronger, and not torn, like a wet sheet of paper. On the contrary, they strengthened and became "leather".
Therefore, on the wedding anniversary, the cake should contain leather inserts and elements. Most often, they are made of plastic and completely edible mastic. The cake can be made in the form of a huge patch on leather pants. Or it can be huge pants with pockets and lacing. Edges of banknotes can stick out of pockets. The cake is really made in the form of a large hat with leather straps, on top of which it is easy to plant edible figures of the husband and wife or any cute animals.
What products are presented for the fourth year?
In the fourth year, as old people say, it is customary to celebrate a linen wedding. And since this wedding is also called “rope” or “wax”, then, as shown in the photo, the wedding anniversary cakes may be in the form of candles with slightly flowing wax.
But you can also give a nice confectionery product with light elements of linen or its imitation on this holiday.
What should be a wedding anniversary cake (5 years)?
The fifth anniversary is considered one of the most serious dates in the life of young people together. This is a kind of milestone that both spouses overcame together. This wedding is not in vain called wooden. They say that by this time the couple had already managed to get used to each other. Their relationship can be compared with a reliable and durable tree, which was planted in the first year and managed to grow up to the fifth year of marriage.
Therefore, the design of the sweet biscuit should include an image or sweet wood elements. For example, it could be a cake in the form of a wooden fence. In addition, each board will symbolize the first and each subsequent year in the marriage. The cake can also be made in the form of a large tree with photos of your family members.
This can be a huge multi-tiered biscuit made in the form of a specific tree, such as oak or birch. And on it let a heart with the names of the spouses be drawn. That is exactly what happens the first recognition carved on the bark of one of the trees. Such a sweet delicacy gives pleasant associations and allows you to recall the existing romantic relationship between spouses-anniversaries.
Sweet gifts for six years
When your family has successfully existed for six years, it's time to start celebrating a cast-iron wedding. It is believed that this is the first serious step on your life path. Despite the fact that cast iron is considered quite strong material, in family life, on the contrary, it is associated with something fragile and vulnerable. At the same time, it is cast iron that is so often positioned with home comfort.
Following popular associations, you can make cakes in the form of a large gingerbread or candy house for a cast-iron wedding. Let him recall the one that the Brothers Grimm once wrote about in their tale of Hansel and Gretel. The main thing is that in this house the roof, windows and even doors will be edible.
It's pretty funny to order cakes for a cast-iron wedding in the form of kitchen utensils such as pans, irons and pans. And if this idea is also well beaten, it will not only convey the very meaning of the gift, but will also cheer up the heroes of the day and their guests. So, it could be a cake in the form of a large pan with a massive handle. On top it is covered with chocolate icing, on top of which lie two fried eggs.

It is known that at the other end of the rainbow these wonderful fairy-tale characters keep a pot of gold. Such a wedding anniversary cake is suitable for parents, acquaintances, colleagues and friends.

For example, on a multilayer biscuit a quite edible skein of wire can be seen. It’s easy to make hearts, chains, buttons, coins, and even a horseshoe for happiness as edible jewelry made of mastic.
The cake itself is also easy to paint in golden-orange colors, which will be associated with real copper wire.
