And the approach to the organization of the celebration should be long before the commemorative date. It is, of course, impossible to foresee all the nuances. But with the choice of a holiday cake, we will help you today.
Cake selection
Wedding anniversary cake is an integral part of the celebration. His choice should be approached thoroughly, weighing all the nuances and little things. Cake for a pearl wedding can be a gift from children or relatives, and can be chosen by the anniversaries themselves to the festive table.
If you decide to give a wedding present to your parents, then it is worthwhile to carefully consider this matter. You can recreate the first wedding cake that was on the festive table thirty years ago. Surely mom remembers what he looked like, what were the cakes and cream. Recreating it, you will remind them of the happiest day in their life, the day when a new family was born.
You can go the other way - choose a cake for a pearl wedding, which will be fully suitable in appearance to the style of the festive evening. As a rule, a pearl wedding is celebrated by designing everything around in a marine theme (pearls, sea, shells, seagulls). The cake on the main theme of the holiday will be an excellent culmination of the celebration.
Cake weight
It is sometimes very difficult to calculate how much cake should be ordered for confectioners or baked on their own. You must admit that it’s a shame when all the guests lack a festive cake or, on the contrary, there are too many.
As a rule, everyone loves sweets, and it is eaten in large quantities at the festive table. Confectioners are advised to calculate the mass of holiday treats depending on the number of guests. For each guest - a piece weighing 150-200 grams. For example, a cake weighing seven to nine kilograms will be enough for fifty people.
Cake Topping
Today, confectioners are offered a variety of cake ideas for a pearl wedding. The number of cakes and types of filling are the most diverse. However, experts advise giving preference to lighter fillings: fruit, yogurt or biscuit. Choose low-fat types of cream, without an abundance of whipped cream and sugar. A great option is a cream cake with nuts or almonds, fruits or candied fruits. In most cases, confectioners offer you to try several types of toppings for the cake and decide which is tastier and more beautiful.
As for cake cakes, choose a variety. So the culinary masterpiece at your wedding will be tasty and original at the same time.
Avoid
Try not to order wedding cake with too fat filling.
Do not give preference to meringues in the composition of the filling. Of course, this is an easy filling, but when cutting the cake it will crumble. The cake will end up being untidy in appearance. Remember that according to tradition, the process of cutting a festive wedding treat is customary to photograph, and even from different angles. It is unlikely that the newlyweds will want to capture the scattering holiday cake on film.
Do not order a wedding cake with a large number of artificial colors in the composition of the filling or cakes. Some guests may be allergic to a product. You must admit that calling an ambulance is not at all part of plans for celebrating a wedding anniversary.
Cake Design: Standard
There can be a huge number of wedding cake decorating options. You can choose the standard option - these are white swans, figures of the newlyweds, a pair of wedding rings, etc. But a pearl wedding cake is usually made in the theme of the holiday. This is a large confectionery masterpiece, white or cream color (in several tiers), studded with pearls. Moreover, pearls can be both on the top of the cake, and along the entire side surface. You can decorate cakes with single pearls, or you can scatter whole precious placers on the surface. The cake looks very beautiful, the top of which is decorated with a pearl necklace or necklace.
"Marine" option
Since pearls are marine themes, all the details accompanying this topic can be used to decorate a festive cake. Shells, corals and marine life can be made from several types of chocolate. In this case, the festive treat will be turquoise, blue or light blue. From confectionery mastic, you can make figures of a man and a woman - mermaids. From a white cream creates a sea wave, light veil flowing along the sides of the cake.
Bright option
Making cakes for a pearl wedding can be more intense and vibrant. Not necessarily the cake should be traditional in color - white. For example, a great option is a sponge cake in the shape of a big red heart. A shell is placed on top of such a heart or pearls are scattered. You can depict the whole cake in the form of a shell with pearls. By placing such a culinary miracle on a brilliant turquoise dish, we get an original and unique holiday gift.
A cake decorated with flowers will look very nice. Between them you can put a pearl necklace, pearl beads or small shells with pearl droplets inside. You can place two goldfish on top and ask the “young” to make a wish. The numbers “three” and “zero” made from edible mastic will look great. In general, mastic is a popular technique of modern confectioners. From it you can make absolutely any thing: flat and three-dimensional figures, numbers, letters, flowers.
Gift Ideas
Not one wedding ceremony is complete without gifts. The 30th wedding anniversary is no exception. Let's start with the newlyweds themselves. The husband gives his wife real pearls: a necklace, necklace, ring, earrings, pendants. A woman chooses cufflinks with pearl inserts for her life partner, a stylish tie clip in the same theme.
As for friends, they can choose any gift that suits the theme of the celebration. If you do not know what to present to your friends at a pearl wedding, then opt for simple, but useful and original gifts. A woman is usually given flowers and gifts associated with pearls. It can be figurines, candlesticks and vases on a marine theme, caskets decorated with a scattering of pearls. If a man is fond of fishing, a man can be presented with a new spinning, fishing tackle, or camping gear. By the way, a pearl wedding cake, ordered in secret from "young" friends or relatives, is a great, unexpected and useful gift. If anniversaries love to decorate their home with art objects, then choose a painting or a panel in a marine theme.
Present any pearl or turquoise souvenir: mirrors, dishes, decorative bowl, ashtray, bedding, flowerpots. Even an ordinary box with chocolates, decorated in a marine style or having a pearl shell on the lid will be a good symbolic present for the holiday.
A voucher for a honeymoon trip for two will be a chic gift. As a rule, such a gift is presented by children to their parents. A very sentimental gift will be a panel or a frame with photographs of anniversaries in different years of life. Collect photos from other memorable dates where the newlyweds gather at the festive table and make a panel of them. As a rule, hand-made gifts with a soul are much more valued than vases, vacuum cleaners or food processors.
