They say that the birth of twins is a great happiness. Parents of twins do not always easily agree with this statement, because twice as much care falls on their shoulders. After all, the choice of strollers for two passengers is relatively small, more space is needed for cribs, even a birthday cake sometimes makes mom and dad pretty much break their heads ... Not all twins like everything the same, some of them are fiercely fighting for their personality, so a twins cake It is no less important part of each holiday than paired gifts and dresses of heroes of the occasion. But, fortunately, today the possibilities of confectioners are unusually wide, because in their arsenal there are a huge number of convenient tools, materials for creativity, ingredients.
Mom and Dad could only pick up an idea that would best suit the tastes of their beloved children.
Birthday cakes
Of course, neither the heroes of the occasion, nor, most likely, their mother, can taste this delicacy. But family friends and relatives will certainly want to wish twins happy birthday, give presents, raise glasses for their health. Baking is often decorated with figures depicting infants, storks, heads of cabbage. Other motives are also used: booties, rompers, nipples, bottles, strollers, rattles - all that will surround the babies at the very beginning of their life. Often, inscriptions are applied to the surface of the cake: height, weight, time and date of birth, names of babies.
First holidays
For a year, a cake for twins can be prepared with decorations in the form of favorite cartoon characters or birthday toys. At this age, kids will already recognize the characters. Remember that if you do not plan to treat children with at least a small piece of cake, it is better to either refuse it altogether or make it as concise and restrained as possible so that it does not attract the attention of children and does not cause tears. There are many recipes that are quite suitable for the children's menu. Mostly we are talking about curd and biscuit cakes, yogurt cream, fruit filling. But decorative elements from the mastic mass should not be given to a one-year-old child. It is better to color the cream with the juice of fruits and vegetables and paint the cake. When the kids grow up, the time will come for more original jewelry.
Birthday of two princesses
If the children are of the same sex, until a certain time they will be completely satisfied with one cake for two. But, growing up, they can acquire completely different interests. And the struggle for one’s self takes effect.
Please the birthday girl with a multi-tiered or double cake. Or maybe your daughters have so many friends that you need two cakes? In this case, make sure that each of the birthday girls feels like a real princess: decorate the cakes for twin girls in different ways, according to the tastes of each of them. Apply cream of different colors, figures of the image of your favorite characters: fashionable Monsters, Princess Ponies, fairy Winx. You can write the names of the girls.
Or maybe your girls are always together, like to dress up the same way and play the same games? Be sure to emphasize this by inventing a twins cake.
Brothers holiday
Boys take a birthday treat no less seriously than girls, although sometimes they do not show it. Popular motifs for decorating cakes for brothers are comic book and cartoon series characters, cars and motorbikes, spaceships, sports equipment, sometimes weapons - all that future men associate with real adult life. But if your son is indifferent to racing, but the mention of the telescope makes him reverently close his eyes, do not be guided by stereotypes. Choose what will please the birthday people. Indeed, for some, cute dinosaurs are preferable to the heroes of the Marvel universe.
When thinking of a cake for twin boys, consult them. Many guys are happy to take part in the preparation of the holiday.
Boys and girls
And how to wish twins of different sexes a happy birthday ? In this case, nothing is impossible either. You can prepare a beautiful surprise yourself: color part of the cream in pink, the second in blue, apply to the cake in random order, or strictly dividing it in half.
Parents of teenagers can be much more difficult. Often brother and sister have completely different circles of communication. Traditional two cakes, decorated in different styles, can be a way out. But there is an even more interesting idea: a tall multi-tiered cake, divided in half! Do not be afraid of contrasts, unusual combinations, the most daring decisions.
Adult Birthday
The grown brothers and sisters often celebrate the holidays together, because psychologists and doctors say that there is a sacred connection between the twins. Cake for twins who have entered adulthood does not have to be decorated with pairs of shoes, identical nipples, nameplates. Today, in the art of confectionery, the theme of masticated marzipan figures is rapidly receding into the past. It is replaced by refined treats decorated with velor cream, mirror glaze or made in the form of slices of gem stones.
