How to Customise Your Anniversary Cake: Tips for a Memorable Celebration

Anniversaries are an amazing chance to celebrate your journey as a couple. While some choose to spend their anniversary with an intimate get-together, others may prefer huge celebrations with all their closest friends and extended family. But whether you’re celebrating 5 years of love or a golden 40-year milestone, your anniversary deserves a cake that's made just for you. But when it comes to customised anniversary cakes, how do you know how to make it truly memorable? 

Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite tips to help you customise your anniversary cake to perfection. Whether it's a quiet dinner for two or a huge family event, these tips will help you create an anniversary cake that adds an extra special touch to your day. 

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Anniversary Cake

Choosing Flavours

The number one tip for customising your wedding anniversary cake is to choose flavours that you and your partner love—after all, it’s a celebration of your relationship! Whether you prefer fresh fruit flavours or rich, indulgent chocolate, the flavour of your cake is the perfect way to make it feel personal to you.

Need some inspiration? Here are a few of the most popular anniversary cake flavours from Zest Patisserie. Obviously, they’re all crowd pleasers:

• Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue 
• Baked Lemon Meringue
• Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake
• Tirami-su 
• Jam and Chantilly Cream Cake
• Lemon Passionfruit Cheesecake

Decorations

The way you decorate your cake is super important for your anniversary. If you’re getting your cake as a surprise for your loved one, the decoration is the first thing they’ll see! You can make your cake look extra special with custom decorations, miniature edible figurines, and even bring in elements that pair with the flavours of the cake, like fruit or chocolates. Plus, you can top your cake with a custom cake message for an added personal touch. 

Consider Dietary Requirements

If you or your partner have dietary requirements, or you have other guests who do, it goes without saying that it’s important to customise your cake with ingredients that everyone can enjoy. 

Not all bakeries and cake delivery services can accommodate allergies, intolerances, or even preferences like veganism. Zest Patisserie, however, has an extensive range of gluten-free and dairy-free options, so no one has to miss out on the celebration! Consider our delicious Gluten Free Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue, Gluten Free Chocolate Bete Noir, or Vegan Hummingbird Cake. 

Get Multiple Cakes!

This one’s not exactly to do with customising a specific cake, but it is to do with customising your special celebration, particularly if you’re hosting a large event for your anniversary! If you’re celebrating an extra special milestone or simply want to party with all your friends and family, why not treat your guests to a wide selection of treats and cakes? 

Cakes and pastries like our Croquembouche make the perfect indulgent showstopper for events, which pairs excellently with trays of mini assorted tarts, cakes, and petit fours, all of which can be customised to suit your preferences or dietary requirements. It’s your anniversary after all—it’s supposed to be a party!
