Cake – A Favorite Party Food
No matter what kind of a party you’re hosting - be it a child’s birthday party, a wedding anniversary, a marriage reception, the launch of a film or a book, an afternoon tea party, a Christmas get-together or a send off to a colleague or friend– the one thing that you ought to include in your party is a delicious cake.
People love parties that have cakes. Cakes can transform even the simplest get-together into a meaningful and fun-filled celebration. They add deliciousness and sweetness to any occasion.
The type of cake that you serve at your party should compliment the rest of the menu and more importantly the occasion. For instance, a festive plum cake is the best cake that you could serve at a Christmas celebration. It is a traditional Christmas favorite and significant to the festive season.
If you’re having an afternoon tea party, your guests will obviously look forward to a cake along with the other goodies you’re serving. Cakes served at tea parties should preferably be light. It is best never to serve cakes that have layers or cakes that have thick cream or are rich in frosting at such parties. Lemon sponge cakes, Dundee cakes and Madeira cakes are the best loved cakes for afternoon tea parties.
Birthday cakes are the most attractive parts of a children’s birthday party. Children wait to see the cake’s design and once the cake cutting ceremony is over, they wait to get their hands (and mouths!) on the cake. Such cakes should be both attractive and delicious. Wedding cakes should be both delicious and ornate. They need to compliment the beauty of the wedding ceremony. You also should ensure that the cake will be large enough to serve all the guests.
A cake that marks an occasion like the release of a book or the launch of a film launch can be designed to look like the book’s jacket or the film’s poster. These cakes create great photo opportunities especially when such events are being covered by the press. A cake with a favorite flavor like chocolate or vanilla and an appropriate message in icing can be used to congratulate a colleague on his promotion or give a farewell to someone who is retiring.
Dessert cakes can polish off the meal at an anniversary party. Once the couple celebrating the anniversary cuts the cake, it can be served to the guests as dessert. So no matter when your next party is or what it is about, please your guests by making sure that you give them a piece of cake.
