Your Guide to Choosing the Ideal Occasion Cake
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

What do you look forward to in a celebration? Aside from the excitement of the celebration, I often look forward to the cake! Cakes have a way of elevating every party. I often say, “What is a celebration without cake?” I also believe that a terrible cake will detract from the entire celebration experience. The cake needs to have a beautiful texture that is neither too strong nor too soft; the coating should not be too sweet or bland; nor should the cake itself be overly sweet or bland.

In order to achieve the desired results with cakes, use moderation. But today’s article isn’t about making the perfect cake for any occasion. Rather, this article focuses on different cakes that are best suited for specific events.

Cakes for Birthdays

When you think birthday party, you think cake! Birthday cakes are a huge part of celebrating, and they come in all kinds of flavors and designs to fit any party. When choosing a birthday cake, there are a couple of things you need to put into consideration like:

  • How rich do you want the cake to be? Chocolate cakes are rich, moist and yummy, vanilla cakes are light, and red velvet cakes are bright red and have a slightly tangy taste.
  • The cake you choose can depend on who’s celebrating. For kids, their cakes often have fun decorations like cartoon characters or bright colors. Teenagers might like cakes that match their hobbies or interests, like a favorite band (K-pop) or sport. Adults usually get more sophisticated cakes, which can be simple or fancy depending on the occasion.
  • What theme are you going for? You can get cakes shaped like superheroes, princesses, or even favorite sports teams. Themed cakes make the party more fun and personal.

Cakes for Weddings

For wedding cakes, there is a traditional wedding cake style that comes in multiple layers ranging from three and above. They typically have a white frosting that fits the elegant occasion. But as the world evolves, people are getting into contemporary style for cake decoration.

A big trend is naked cakes with no frosting on the outside but there’s frosting in between the different layers of cake. Another popular choice is a cupcake tower, which has a bunch of different flavors of cupcakes in different layers.

Cakes for Anniversaries

Anniversary cake comes in different types and for different anniversary occasions. For milestone anniversary cakes, number cakes are used. They are usually shaped like the anniversary year (like “10” for a 10th anniversary), making it clear that it’s a big deal. For a more romantic touch, people opt for a heart shaped cake or a red velvet cake. If you’re keeping it low-key, you might go for sheet cakes or cupcakes.

Cakes for Baby Shower

Baby shower cakes are all about celebrating the new baby, and there are a few things you need to consider when trying to choose the right cake for the occasion.

  • Are you trying to surprise everyone with the gender of the baby? These kinds of cakes usually look plain on the outside, but when you cut them, the inside is either pink or blue to show if it’s a girl or boy.
  • What theme are you going for? Baby shower cakes often have fun designs like strollers, baby blocks, or teddy bears. You have to decide on the theme with your partner and associate the theme with fun activities to make the baby shower eventful.
  • What flavor are you going for? Flavors like lemon, vanilla, or strawberry are perfect because they aren’t too heavy and tastes great to most people.

 

Cakes for Other Occasions

Cakes can be used on different occasions like graduation, holidays, corporate events, etc. For graduation, these cakes celebrate finishing school and often have designs like graduation caps, gowns, or diplomas. You can also customize with school colors or the graduate’s name.

While for holidays, like Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving, the cakes can match the celebration theme. Christmas cakes might have snowflakes, Christmas trees, or Santa Claus. Easter cakes often feature bunnies, eggs, or the cross to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Lastly, for business events, cakes can feature the company logo or be used for promotions. Corporate event cakes can be used for company anniversaries, product launches, or office parties.

Bottom Line

There are so many different types of cakes for all kinds of occasions, from birthdays and weddings to anniversaries and baby showers. Check out some cake recipes online or visit local bakeries to find the perfect cake for your next celebration.
