These cakes often feature elegant designs and flavors that reflect the couple's preferences. Common themes include floral decorations, heart shapes, and personalized messages, making the cake a centerpiece of the celebration. Typically, anniversary cakes are made from various types of cake, such as chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet, and can be layered with fillings like buttercream or fruit preserves. Couples may choose to have a small cake for an intimate celebration or a larger one for a gathering with family and friends.
