Celebrating the special number with 21st birthday cakes

Twenty one is a fun age to step in to. Not only does it begin the legal age to do a number of activities, but there is also a grown up feel, steeping out of adolescence into wholeheartedly adult life. Stepping into twenty one is wildly celebrated across the world and the twenty first birthday party is always a special treat. 21st birthday cakes are reminders of the fact how special this age is and hence are large, beautifully decorated cakes which are stared at before being devoured. Since twenty one is considered to be the age of fun, the cake decorations are also built on those lines.
Many 21st birthday cakes ideas are borrowed from the fact that twenty one is the legal age of drinking in many countries. So cakes are decorated with beer and wine bottles made of chocolates as well as rum is often made a part of the cake’s ingredients. Apart from drinking, twenty one is also the official age to visit clubs and pubs and hence that theme often comes up as well on the cake decorations. Often tiny bottles of whiskey or wine are put atop the cake, signifying the birthday boy or girl’s stepping into the age of fun.
As far as flavors are concerned, 21st birthday cakes barely have any particular flavor since it is the decoration and the mayhem at the party which is of bigger importance. Still, chocolate and strawberry remain as favorite cake flavors for the twenty first birthdays. The cake ought to be big in size since not only is there the need to ensure that all invitees get a slice each but also because the bigger the cake, the bigger the celebrations. One does not turn twenty one every day so a big cake signifies all the happiness associated with the age.
There are some very creative online cake businesses which ensure that a good design is made available when ordering a 21st birthday cakes. While the themes of legal drinking age and a bad hangover are universal, still the decoration ought to be eye catching. For those who prefer subtle decoration, such ideas are available as well. For example a gift bow made entirely of chocolate could sit prettily on the cake and make it look like a gift. The number twenty one could also be written in various styles and make the cake look as cool as the age itself.
Some of the decorations of a cake for 21st birthday are deliberately funny to ensure that the birthday boy or girl never forgets how hilarious the decoration was. There are several sweet decorations as well which are not mischievous as the others. These are generally cakes which are baked or ordered by family members who know that stepping into this age also makes the person more responsible, mature and a grown up. Such decorations involve inspirational messages along with the age number displayed on top of the cake. Whatever the decorations are, the cake and the age both must be unforgettable.
