Holiday cake is a tradition. Not a single celebration is complete without it. All guests are looking forward to serving the main holiday dessert. Cakes are different: ordinary for a bachelorette party, wedding cakes - for the most joyful day in the girl’s life, and birthday cakes, they are served for their birthday. They will be discussed in our article. A cake for 25 years to a girl is a great gift. And it should be not only tasty and beautiful, but also exclusive.
Where to buy the best cake
When preparing the holiday, many questions arise. And one of them: "Where to buy a cake, unusual and delicious?" There are three options: make to order, cook yourself or buy in a store. Each of them is good in its own way, but which one is the best? Still, a cake for 25 girls should be really special.
Cake from the store
Our time is characterized by an abundance of products. Shop windows are bursting with all kinds of confectionery, including cakes. And if you turn to the counters of elite confectioneries, rather than ordinary hypermarkets, you can find a good product. It will be tasty and quite beautiful in appearance. But the catch is that store cakes are not unique. Enterprises stamp them one after another: the same design, shape, size. Will such a cake fit a girl for 25 years? Of course, it is up to the buyer to decide. After all, you can quickly buy it, and the price will not especially hit the pocket.
Cake to order
The opposite of a store cake is custom made. Yes, good pastry chefs take a considerable amount for their creation, but the second one will definitely not be like that. When ordering, you can express your wishes and ideas. To come up with your own design, indicate the size and have no doubt that the cake will be tasty and beautiful. Modern masters create real works of art, using, for example, decoration with mastic (flowers made from it can not be distinguished from real ones) or airbrushing (using it they draw 3D and create incredible pictures). A professional cake for 25 years for a girl (photo below) will bring real joy.
Do it yourself
And the last option is a handmade dessert. If there is any concern that the girl cannot make a cake for 25 years, then they are in vain. It can be easily made at home, and most importantly, it will be presented from the heart. Cakes are easiest to buy in the store. For the filling, you can choose what the birthday girl loves. Or take a classic, for example, chocolate cake soaked in rum, or cream soufflé with “live” berries. Decorating is also quite simple. Of course, for grandiose 3D-drawings you will need special equipment, which is unlikely to be at home. But you can always create decor from mastic or decorate with cream roses. Making a cake for 25 years is the easiest way for a girl from a cream.
Classic Cream Recipe
The cream is very tender, tasty, and there is hardly a person who does not like it. Such a light decoration is suitable in order to make a cake for a girl 25 years old (photo under the recipe).
Ingredients:
- Cream with a fat content of 33% - two glasses.
- Powdered sugar - three tablespoons.
- Vanilla sugar - one teaspoon.
Recipe:
- Take chilled cream (professionals are advised to keep them in the refrigerator the day before cooking).
- Beat the product with a mixer until the consistency of liquid sour cream (start at a low speed and gradually increase it).
- When the cream thickens a little, switch the mixer to minimum speed, pour in powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.
- Continue to beat, increasing the speed of revolutions.
- Beat cream to steep peaks. They should become so dense that if you turn the cup upside down, the creamy mass will remain in place and will not leak.

Mastic recipe
Mastic is a wonderful material for decorating a cake. From it you can make many different decorations. Working with mastic is like modeling from plasticine, nothing complicated. There are many recipes for its preparation, and some of them are complex and time consuming. But there is one simple one, it is prepared quickly, and the products for it need the most affordable ones.
Ingredients:
- Condensed milk - one jar.
- Powdered milk - two to three glasses.
- Powdered sugar - two glasses.
- Lemon juice - a teaspoon.
- Food colorings.
Recipe:
- Mix milk powder and powdered sugar in a cup.
- Pour condensed milk and lemon juice into the dry mixture, mix.
- Put the mixture on the table and knead, like dough.
- If the mastic sticks, then add the icing sugar.
- When the mastic is ready, it looks like a large piece of plasticine.
- For colored jewelry, you need to divide the mastic into parts and mix a little dye in each (colors - optional, for example, for red roses - red dye).
- You can wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator or start making jewelry right away.
In the end, we can say that an excellent cake is quite possible to cook at home. And most likely, it will turn out no worse than with professional confectioners. Of course, the latter have the equipment and experience. But they definitely don’t have knowledge of what the birthday girl loves. Yes, and it will be much more pleasant for her to get a cake made by the hands of relatives and friends.
