If the family is large, then there will be many holidays in the year. Moreover, gifts are required not only for birthdays, but also for other holidays, such as Christmas or graduation. As you know, the best gift - made by yourself. And what better way to please the family, if not goodies on the table.
Cake as a gift
The cake, especially the one prepared on its own, will be a great gift for all relatives. But another huge plus is that you can write congratulations for your dear people on the cake. Congratulations on your birthday with original verses, wish mother longevity, or draw a picture for the child with glaze - everything is in the hands of the hostess.
Another wonderful surprise will be a cake made by a man for his wife or mother. After all, she certainly does not expect such an initiative and will be amazed.
What to write on the cake?
Of course, before preparing a surprise, you should think about what is pleasant to those to whom it is intended. Not only the cake itself will depend on this - because their recipes are a great variety, but also the wishes that will be written on it.
When making wishes, it is best to use sincere, original words, inventing them yourself. This is nothing complicated. You need to take a piece of paper and write down what I would like to wish my family, words that I would like to congratulate. But if the wishes do not want to be formulated in any way, and the question “what to write on the cake” is still relevant, then you can use the selection of congratulations, which is presented below.
Wishes to daughter or son
No matter how old the child is, he will always be pleased to receive a delicious cake as a gift from his beloved parents. And the original congratulation will please him even more! And if on the eve of the holiday the question arises of what to write on the cake for daughter or son, then you need to think about what I would like to wish the child. Indeed, sometimes even children who already have their own family want to return to childhood again and be among gifts and loving parents.
Wishes to daughter:
- "Beloved daughter happy birthday!"
- "The best daughter on the most joyous holiday!"
- "You have already become an adult, and in the eyes of your wisdom a trace, but childishly remained stubborn, my dear daughter, my portrait ..." - for an adult daughter.
What to write on the cake on the son’s birthday:
- "Congratulations on the holiday, son!"
- "You are getting older, more mature and smarter. We love you very much!"
- "The years passed quickly, you grew up and became big, became more serious and more mature, the best son in the world."
Wishes for graduates
Graduation is one of the biggest and most magnificent holidays. After all, it happens only once in a lifetime. And of course, grown-up children will be happy with a birthday cake on their table. The first glass of champagne, farewell to teachers and kind words of parents rejoicing with graduates. Such a cake, most likely, will have to be prepared independently, and ordered. But the question of what to write on the cake to graduates is still relevant. After all, most confectioners understand the importance of the event and themselves ask their parents about it.
- "Exams were passed, lessons were finished, and that long-awaited hour has come. Today you are smart and beautiful, and on a good journey we will accompany you."
- "You left school today, but remember, it's never too late to learn."
- "Goodbye, school!"
It would also be an interesting idea to make a cake in the form of a class magazine and enter the names of all students and their class teacher there.
Wishes to husband or wife
Marital life is full of troubles and affairs. But on the birthday of one of the spouses, all of them should be postponed and congratulated your soul mate with warm words and delicious food. Making preparations together or making a surprise is everyone’s personal choice, but it’s worth preparing thoroughly for this holiday!
Words for wife:
- "Forever young and most beautiful!"
- "I dedicate these lines to my only wife, I love and adore you, I don’t need anyone else!"
- "To my star, to my beloved wife. Happy holiday!"
What to write on the cake to her husband:
- "On your birthday, I want to say thanks for the family, for the warm home, for kindness, support, happiness and a dream."
- "My dear man and beloved man! Remain the same best husband and reliable support!"
- "Beloved, may all your plans be fulfilled, but have enough strength for all things!"
Knowing the interests of her husband, the cake can also be decorated in an original way - to draw a big fish and a fishing rod, a soccer ball, a car, etc.
Wishes to mom or father
Our parents are an important part of any person’s life. Not a single birthday in childhood passed without their participation. And of course, it is worth paying them the same! Making a delicious holiday present for the woman who has been taking care of you for so many years, it is worth considering what to write to mom on the cake.
Congratulations to mom:
- "Live, dear, up to 100 years old and know that you are better off. That you were with us today, tomorrow and always."
- "Today we give this cake to our best mom!"
- "To the best mom in the world!"
- "Beloved mother. Happy holiday!"
- "With all my heart! Beloved myself!"
A great gift is a cake not only for mom, but also for father. His hobbies are probably known - because he devoted so much time to raising and caring for children!
Warm words for dad:
- "Beloved dad on a beautiful day!"
- "Dad, beloved, good luck and happiness! May everything in your life be brilliant! All plans, deeds will be successful!"
Wishes to grandparents
Many have grandparents associated with the warmth of family gatherings and fresh pastries. And in preparation for the birthday of one of them, it is worth taking the time to decide what to write on the cake so that the older generation is happy.
Wishes grandmother:
- "Congratulations to you, granny. I wish you to be a wise queen in the kingdom of our family, I wish you never to know tiredness, resentment of the heart and disappointment of the soul."

Anniversary wishes
Anniversary is one of the largest holidays. There are not so many round dates in human life, so any of them becomes an excellent occasion for a grand celebration. And a touching inscription on a gift cake will be a great addition to the event.
Congratulations:
- "You are always 10 years younger than the age in your passport."
- "We wish you wonderful, bright days on your anniversary!"
- "40 years old - no more beautiful!"
- "50 is the time of smiles!"
- "From the anniversary start - to new heights!"
What and how to write on the cake
The simplest and most affordable materials are butter cream and chocolate icing. The latter is often sold in bags that are easy enough to heat in the microwave and carefully cut. It is always easy to experiment with these materials - colors can be mixed, changed, using food colors. If there is a lot of time and patience - the inscription can be laid out from mastic. There are also other original ways to congratulate a cake:
- Powdered sugar. Using a stencil cut out of paper, it can be gently poured onto the surface of the cake.
- Coconut flakes. It happens both white, and color. The application method is similar to powdered sugar.
- Nuts. They can be cut into small pieces, grind. Or leave the whole. Lined with both nut crumbs and whole nuts, the inscription will look amazing.
- Sprinkle. Sold in stores and has a huge variety of shapes and colors. You can simply neatly lay it out in letters, or you can use a stencil.
- Fondant. It can also be bought in the store, or you can cook it yourself.
It is also not easy to create a beautiful, even inscription. To do this, you must either be extremely careful, or use special devices - a pastry bag or a pastry syringe for glaze, creams or sweets, stencils for sprinkling. However, if there are no special devices at home, then you can use a simple plastic bag. In it you need to trim the corner a bit so that you get a small hole. You need to use it the same way as a pastry bag.
And the last - the rules for inscription:
- The surface on which the mass is applied must be even.
- For bulk products (sprinkle, powder) the surface should be a little sticky, but not "cotton". If you plan to put an inscription, for example, on chocolate icing, then you should first put the cake in the refrigerator to let it freeze.
- It is optimal to use narrow nozzles for a pastry bag / syringe, otherwise the inscription will not be readable.
- The mass by which the wish will be written must be contrasted with the surface of the cake, otherwise reading it will be very difficult.
- Congratulations should be brief and succinct: you won’t be able to put a lot of text on the cake, and it’s easier to read the laconic message.
- It is necessary to decide in advance what to write on the cake and formulate: mistakes and blots are unacceptable if this does not apply to the idea.
- It is better to place the wish in one place, for example in the center, and not scatter it all over the cake.
