What theme should I choose for a 30th Birthday?
A vintage romance theme is a perfect choice for a 30th Birthday. Think soft blush tones, lace accents, delicate candles, and pearl details.

It works beautifully for milestone birthdays.
How do I prepare the house for a 30th birthday at home?
Creating an elegant party setting doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a simple guide:
- Colour palette – Choose blush pink, ivory, and hints of gold to set an elegant tone.
- Table styling – Use a raised cake stand, taper candles, and pearl garlands for vintage charm.
- Flowers – Arrange a small bouquet of roses or carnations, with scattered petals across the table.
- Drinks & nibbles – Offer prosecco, sparkling water, and dainty canapés such as finger sandwiches or macarons.
- The cake – Place the Vintage Pink Heart Cake as the centrepiece for the candle-lighting and photo opportunities.
Together, these elements create a timeless and intimate atmosphere for celebration.
What cake is best for an anniversary party?
An anniversary party calls for something elegant, romantic, and memorable. The Vintage Pink Heart Cake is an ideal choice because its heart shape symbolises love, while the soft pink buttercream and piped swirls create a timeless look. It serves as both a dessert and a romantic centrepiece, making it perfect for celebrating milestones like silver, golden, or even first anniversaries.
How can I make a heart-shaped vintage cake myself?
You can achieve a heart-shaped vintage cake at home, but it requires patience and skill:
- Bake and level two sponge layers, stacking them with buttercream filling.
- Shape the sponge with a heart tin or cut it using a template.
- Tint buttercream a soft pink and spread it smoothly over the cake.
- Pipe rosettes, shells, or swirls to form a vintage border.
- Add a hand-piped plaque or short message in the centre.
While fun for keen bakers, clean borders and symmetrical piping are tricky to master, ordering the Vintage Pink Heart Cake from The Cupcake Factory ensures crisp edges, even detailing, and flawless presentation.
