What Makes a Great Anniversary Cake
The most meaningful designs are personal. A thoughtful cake design for marriage anniversary celebrations might echo the wedding flowers, recreate the top tier of the original cake, pick up the traditional colour of the year, or carry a photo from the big day. Because every cake is a fresh brief, we build your anniversary cake design entirely around the couple and the years they are celebrating.
The Tradition of Anniversary Colours
Each milestone anniversary has its own traditional theme, silver for the 25th, pearl for the 30th, ruby for the 40th, gold for the 50th and diamond for the 60th. Working that colour and motif into the design is a lovely, instantly recognisable way to honour exactly how many years a couple has shared, and it gives the cake a built-in sense of occasion.
How the Made-to-Order Process Works
Configure your cake through our online shop at any hour, or contact us directly for a bespoke design. We confirm the design, colours, flavours and message with you before we begin, then bake it fresh for your date, nothing is frozen and nothing is mass-produced. For a milestone anniversary or a recreated wedding cake, we recommend ordering a week or two ahead.
Flavours for Your Anniversary Cake
The combination is yours to build. Choose a sponge from Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla & Chocolate, Red Velvet and Rainbow Vanilla; add a cream filling from Vanilla, Chocolate, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, Lemon, Oreo, Biscoff, Hazelnut or Cream Cheese; and a jam or spread such as Strawberry, Raspberry, Black Cherry, Lemon Curd, Biscoff, Salted Caramel or Hazelnut. A classic Vanilla with raspberry is elegant and timeless for an anniversary, while a Red Velvet with cream cheese makes a rich, romantic choice, and you can always recreate the flavour of the original wedding cake if you remember it.
On dietary matters: our base recipe is nut-free, meat-free and alcohol-free and is suitable for vegetarians. We are not an allergen-free kitchen and we do not offer egg-free cakes, and because our kitchen handles a range of ingredients we cannot guarantee against the presence of any allergen. If anyone celebrating has a diagnosed food allergy, please speak to us before ordering.
Add-Ons and Matching Treats
Candles, a helium foil balloon and a personalised message card finish the centrepiece. For a larger anniversary party, our Match & Save range and a full dessert table styled in the year’s traditional colour make a stunning display. For a romantic, heart-shaped design, our Heart Cakes range is a lovely option, and for an edible photo from the wedding day or fully bespoke detailing, see our Personalised Cakes service.
