Celebrating the Twenty-fifth Wedding Anniversary - The Silver Wedding Cake - Two Recipes How to Ice and Ornament the Cakes

The celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of a wedding-day is usually the occasion of more or less elaborate festivities.

The refreshments for any reception given are exactly similar to those for the newly married, except that silver in some form must be introduced as decoration wherever possible - i.e., silver leaf broken up lightly in jellies on the top of creams, silver paper frills on cutlets, and the white iced cake decorated with silver bells, foliage, dragees, comfits or coins, etc.

The principal item is the cake, which may be as rich and highly decorated as liked. The ingredients for a suitable cake are precisely the same as were given on page 3635, Vol. 5, Every Woman's Encyclopaedia, but are repeated here.
