A gold birthday feels festive and elegant and suits every age, from a first birthday to an 18th, 50th or 80th.

Creating a gold birthday cake and cupcakes
Everything starts with a sturdy base. The gold cake boards come round from 20 to 40 cm and square; more shapes and sizes are waiting in Round cake boards. Choose a board 2 to 5 cm larger than the cake so the gold edge stays visible. For the gold look you have several options:
- Shiny gold fondant to cover the whole cake or for details such as bows and numbers
- Gold metallic colour spray and gold glitter powder for an even shimmer on fondant or chocolate
- 3 edible 22-carat gold leaves for refined accents on ganache or buttercream
- Gold metallic crispy chocolate pearls, gold nonpareils and edible gold stars as sprinkles
- Gold glitter sugar pen for writing on cakes and biscuits
For cupcakes, use the gold cupcake cases and the mini version, or the pack of 250 metallic cases for large parties. More designs are available in Baking cup. A swirl of white buttercream or whipped cream and mascarpone frosting topped with a few gold pearls looks simple and stylish.
Gold candles, cake toppers and balloons
The centrepiece on the cake is the number candles: choose large gold candles, classic gold candles, mini candles or balloon candles in every number from 0 to 9. Even more choice in Birthday number candle. A Happy Birthday cake topper in gold, with glitter or in the French Joyeux Anniversaire version, completes the candles; more designs in Happy Birthday topper.
Around the room, large gold foil number balloons, foil letter balloons for a name or age and a glittering bunting garland make a statement. On the table, a gold sequin table runner and gold star confetti finish the look. More balloons in Number balloon.
