Size
Based on the weight of the main dish of the sweet table, you can plan its size and appearance. It is worth remembering that a cake for a chintz wedding weighing 3 kg can be made one or two tiers. It will not be possible to achieve greater heights. But a dessert weighing 4 kg or more can be made in three tiers.
Some tips
When choosing a dessert, it is very important what kind of wedding it is, that is, what way it is celebrated. If there are not many guests, and all of them have already been at your wedding, then you can limit yourself to a candy bar. Cakes and desserts can replace cake without depriving guests of sweets. Cupcakes, for example, are perfect for depicting pictures of love and happiness; in addition, a variety of sweets will smooth out the difference in the tastes of guests. If there is a host at the wedding, you can consult with him, because at such events the action very often revolves around the cake.

In addition to cute and romantic sweets, you can give your wife or husband funny cakes for the first year. For a wife, they often choose a cake in the shape of a saw, urging them not to saw their spouse too much, and for a husband - in the form of an ax, as a request not to cut from the shoulder.
Whatever the cake you choose, the main thing is that it suits your taste and style. And, most importantly, sweet magic must be ordered in reserve so that there is definitely enough for everyone.

How to decorate a wedding anniversary cake?
The cake can be decorated with cream, fresh flowers or fruits, but the most popular material for sweet decoration is mastic. It allows you to create the cake coating and decoration details as realistically as possible.
Three-dimensional figurines made of mastic are often used as dessert decor for a 1-year wedding anniversary - numbers, hearts, flowers, pairs of birds, animals or people, a matrimonial bed.
The main dish of the sweet table can be round, square or rectangular, or it can be made in the shape of a heart, which symbolizes the freshness and strength of the feelings of the spouses at this stage of family life.
The modern choice of confectionery materials is amazing, but the decoration should be selected based on the wedding date. Some people focus on the first anniversary, and others on the fact that it is chintz. We have made a selection of photos of what a cake could look like for a 1 year wedding anniversary:
The chintz flavor of the dessert is given by mastic with a small floral pattern (the print can be colored or textured), imitation fabric, flowers. You can see what a cake for a chintz wedding might look like in these photos:
What kind of cake could it be?
Own production. The main dessert for such a holiday is increasingly rarely prepared independently. The main goal here is to give the cake personality, decorate it in a special way, or cook it according to an old family recipe. The main feature of such a cake may be the fact that the newlyweds prepared it together, and, at the same time, had a great time in the process.

Preparing such a cake can, on the contrary, become a repetition of a bachelorette party, or, in rare cases, a bachelor party. Whoever prepares the cake, it must be symbolic. For example, flaky, airy cakes will become a symbol of the ease of family life, and hearts, molded or connected to each other, will become a symbol of love.
Order or cook yourself
The ability to make a cake to order has many advantages. Firstly, the dessert will be prepared by a professional who will take into account all your wishes, assemble the product correctly and make it beautiful. Secondly, the customer can go about his business without wasting time on preparing and decorating the main dish of the sweet table, which sometimes takes several days. If for some reason the spouses do not want to order a cake, you can bake or order small cakes and symbolically decorate them.
For those who want to prepare dessert themselves, we suggest watching a video that shows and tells how to do it correctly.

Sweets from the confectionery
Creamy cake. This is the one with swans or doves on it. These birds have always been a symbol of peace, harmony and prosperity. In addition, they are monogamous, and have always been a symbol of fidelity. Symbols do not necessarily have to be traditional and hackneyed; it could be a veil, a horseshoe, or even a tree. It is enough that the object that becomes the center of the cake composition brings good luck to at least one of the couple and both are ready to talk about it.
Symbol of the year. So, 1 year is a chintz wedding, which means everything that is in one way or another connected with cutting and sewing is suitable. You can “sew” a heart from “calico” diapers made from confectionery materials and “embroidered” with sweet buttons, or you can use a lace pattern.

- Mastic does not lose its popularity - it is the top layer, the base for jewelry, although the latter are very often made from it. The viscous, delicious mass often frames the confectionery product on all sides and can be of completely different colors. Even under chintz, why not? Photos of cakes for a chintz wedding can always be viewed on the pages of our wedding website.
- External aesthetics . The very first year of marriage is not so easy, people get used to each other, so it would be a great idea to bake it yourself, or order a cake for a chintz wedding, as if sewn from scraps. Such a pattern will symbolize the difficult and very turbulent year of formation of a real, strong and integral family.
- Simplicity and laconism in everything . Decorations for a cake for a chintz wedding prefer the simplest ones, like the chintz itself. A heart or a traditional round cake will look very stylish, as if wrapped in a plain fabric or small flowers. That's it, nothing extra.
- Moderation of decorations . If you still want to decorate the birthday cake a little, then look at the photos of cakes for a chintz wedding on our pages. Perhaps a couple of modest monochromatic flowers, discreet ruffles and cream inserts will please you!
- What's inside? The filling can consist of absolutely any cakes, types of creams, but if you really want to imitate the event, then opt for the same style, restraint and laconicism. By the way, we are not talking about taste here at all!
- Dimensions . In general, it is customary to taste the cakes you are interested in for a chintz wedding among those closest to you, and always witnesses to the celebration. Considering that a year has passed, and they could already start families themselves, and their parents will definitely come, it is better to order more of the product.
How to make a “Relationship Anniversary Cake”
1. Prepare sponge dough using flour, eggs, cocoa powder, sugar and baking powder as usual. Pour it into the prepared forms.
2. Preheat the oven to 180-190°C. Bake for 25-35 minutes, then use a toothpick to check if the cake is done. If necessary, bake for some more time until the dough is completely baked. Place the finished chocolate cakes to cool without removing them from the mold.
3. While the cakes are baking, prepare the sour cream. To do this, mix sour cream with powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
4. Remove the cooled sponge cakes from the molds. Spread with sour cream, stacking on top of each other. Grease the top and sides of the cake generously with cream.
5. Decorate the cake as you wish. I sprinkled the sides with chocolate chips and made a design on the surface with melted chocolate. Place the finished relationship anniversary cake in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours so that it is well soaked. Bon appetit!
Festive inscriptions on dessert
An anniversary cake can be decorated with memorable inscriptions. For example, put the names of the spouses “Vasya + Lena = love.”
Relevant thematic quotes
- Madly in love!
- You are the reason for my happiness!
- When I'm with you, nothing else matters.
- We can do anything when we are together.
It is important that such epigraphs are short and succinct.
The inscription is applied using special contours or felt-tip pens, sold in confectionery departments. You can make “ink” with your own hands.
You will need
- Chocolate bar – 1 pc.;
- Butter – 1 tbsp. l.;
- Milk – 2 tbsp. l.
Step-by-step instruction
- Break the chocolate and put it in a bowl.
- Heat in a water bath.
- Add butter and warm milk.
- Stir. Place in a thick plastic bag, cut a small hole in the corner and, carefully squeezing out the mass, make an inscription.
This can be done directly on the cake, or depicted on a file, and after hardening, decorate the cake.
