Ask the Celebration Advisor: My husband is about to turn 50 years old and I am trying to figure out what kind of birthday cake I would like to have at his party. What types of cakes do I have to choose from in New Orleans, LA?

The Celebration Advisor: Wouldn't be great if a cake could soften the blow of turning 50? So many people become discouraged at the thought of getting "old". On their birthday images of walkers and handicap stickers are dancing through their heads rather than thoughts of being at the age where one feels the most freedom. I say, don't let another birthday bore your husband into senility, make it a joyous celebration of whats to come. New Orleans birthday cakes are known to be works of art that look too good to eat and will do much more than energize an aging soul.

To begin with, there are numerous styles of birthday cakes. And to select the perfect one for his birthday you must establish what message you would like the cake to portray. I suggest for a 50th birthday that comes only once in a lifetime, a milestone birthday cake would fit the occasion perfectly. Tastefully, New Orleans bakers can create a cake that not only commemorates your husband's big day, but will show him the love and respect his family and friends have for him.

Another style of birthday cake that would be as equally appropriate is a humorous birthday cake. Some people prefer to make a milestone birthday a time to poke fun at the unfortunate individual who is freshly "over-the-hill". New Orleans bakeries have a printing technique where they can transpose a photograph onto a layer of frosting. Your husband could find no greater irony than to see a funny picture of himself as a child printed on his birthday cake.

For an occasion that is as rare as one's own 50th birthday, the cake presented should be equally as rare and so much more delicious. A milestone birthday is a joyous celebration where one can find much humor in the event as well as a sense of respect for the person who turns 50. Your husband deserves a cake with either or all of these elements in it. With New Orleans bakeries, this aspiration can be realized.
