A Sheet Cake
An old fashioned style sheet cake with a photo of the couple is always a hit. Sheet cakes are generally less expensive, so if you are looking to purchase or make an anniversary cake, you may want to consider this option.
The picture of the cupcakes and cake to the right were shared by one of Wedding Cakes For You readers. She used the orange cake recipe on this site and the Wedding cake frosting a.k.a. Italian meringue buttercream recipe with white chocolate buttercream and raspberries for filling. Click on the photo to go and read her story about this wonderful gift that she gave to her in laws.
A very pretty and unusual design. The cake above is enrobed in a smooth rolled fondant.
The loops are made with royal icing which is made using egg whites, confectioners sugar and cream of tarter. Royal icing is piped into shapes and allowed to dry. Once dried the shapes can be added to the cake for a three dimensional look.
To see an example of how to use this method, go to the cake decorating videos page where you will find videos on how to make royal icing, a paper cone to pipe the icing and how to use it to make decorations to place on the cake.
Enjoy The Video
Enjoy the video below of me making a 50th wedding anniversary cake for a sweet couple who had never had a real wedding cake. They were quite surprised when they were presented with an adorable three tiered cake with little homemade wedding figurines on top.
You will see the cake from start to finish (sped up in some parts) An example of cornelli lace, filling the cake layers, and stacking the three tiers together are included.
