You can find some truly great 40th birthday cake ideas and decorate an outstanding treat that people won't soon forget. Milestone birthdays are a great chance to get creative when it comes to a birthday cake. If you know the person well, think outside of the box and consider what the milestone means.
When considering cakes for a 40th birthday, consider that this is a major turning point in a person's life: many people find that they are no longer children or in their 20s, but they aren't elderly by any stretch of the imagination. This is a time where many adults reclaim their youth by changing jobs, getting their ears pierced or buying new cars; it is also a time when adults truly begin to consider their retirement. Take all of these things into account when brainstorming 40th birthday cake ideas.
Many adults think that celebrating their birthdays doesn't mean anything past their teenage years, and this doesn't have to be the case. This is a chance to celebrate an important milestone in a person's life. One way to commemorate this birthday is to have the cake made in the theme of the year the person was born. Look to see what films, music, and news events were happening the year this person was born and use this information when decorating or planning the cake. You can play with the age element of this birthday, but you don't want to go too far. Remember, age can be a sensitive subject during this time. Thus, you can play on the idea of the mid-life crisis, but you don't want to say anything that might suggest that a person is getting old, as you could spark a meltdown.
Lastly, consider the person's personality and interests. Milestone birthdays don't just have to be about the age a person is turning. They're a chance to be creative as possible when it comes to birthday cakes. So, if your friend is a doctor, consider having a cake made in the shape of a doctor, human body or with doctor's tools on top. If your friend is passionate about the violin, consider having a cake made in the shape of a violin or with sheet music printed on top.
