It would not be a misnomer to state that life without any celebration would be a boring, insipid affair. Such a lifestyle would reduce human beings to the level of mechanical beings, of robots. Celebrations bring colour and enthusiasm to one's life. The value of celebration, therefore, can be understood. Now the question that arises is what it is that can add sheen to any occasion. Well, one answer to it is cakes. No wonder then that celebration cakes are in great demand in UK. Such is their importance that no celebration is complete without what seems their customary presence.
A little bit of imagination in the preparation of celebration cakes can lead to adding immeasurable amount of joy to the occasion. Certain ways by which the value of celebration cakes can be enhanced is by adding lots of cream and sweetener, and decking the cake up with different coloured and shaped cherries. Adding the name of the person in whose honour the party is being celebrated is also a very good idea.
A woman’s heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed receipt.
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
Another way of preparing nice celebration cakes is by getting them prepared in different shapes. For example, it would be a very good idea to get the birthday cake of a football enthusiast prepared in the shape of a football. Similarly, the birthday cake of a piano fan can be prepared in the shape of a piano. Getting the cakes prepared in the shape of a heart can be the best bet for your girlfriend, whereas cakes with the bride in the arms of the groom can be a very good thought for a marriage celebration.
With people becoming more and more demanding, one can be rest assured that there would be lots of new variations coming up for celebration cakes, which would continue to enliven the occasions further.
Sir Toby Belch. Dost thou think because thou art virtuous there shall be no more cakes and ale?
Feste. Yes, by Saint Anne, and ginger shall be hot i’the mouth, too.
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
