The special occasion cakes, as the name suggests are really special and unique. These cakes are baked and designed for the special occasions they are meant for. We just mention here the names of some important event or celebration and the related cakes:

Baby shower cakes: Baby shower cakes are part of baby shower celebration which is held in the later stages of pregnancy or sometimes just after the baby is born. There are two types of baby shower cakes- edible cakes which are baked like other regular cakes; and non-edible cakes or diaper cakes which the mom tears to cover the small bottom of the newly-born. Whatever may be the cake design, it should incorporate the baby-stuff or the elements of childhood in it. As such the baby shower cakes come in different unusual shapes like a baby boy or girl, a teddy bear, cakes topped with small edible toys, Mickey-figures etc. There are colorful cakes in single-tiers or multi-tiers also. Baby shower cakes are the perfect way to bestow your love, care and affection on the mom and her baby.

Birthday cakes: Birthdays are occasions to be celebrated almost in all cultures of the world. Every person- from a kid to an adult wants to celebrate this day with a cake. Birthday cakes are designed in different interesting shapes like a Poker's table, a Disney land, football field, Philadelphia flyers shape, an airplane, a guitar etc. These cakes are baked in different flavors like apricot, chocolate, vanilla, lemon, strawberry etc. A birthday candle serves as the best birthday cake topper. Special occasion cakes like birthday cakes are really special celebrating the time we come on this lovely world.

Bridal showers cakes: Wedding shower or bridal shower cakes are also special occasion cakes. Bridal shower cakes are cut on the bridal shower function celebrated on the night prior to the actual wedding ceremony. Usually the bride's maid order for a cake that reflects the would-be-bride's hobbies and passions. One of the most popular bridal shower cakes is the one that is an exact replica of the bridal gown. There are wedding shower towel cakes also which can be unfolded and used by the bride after her marriage. You can use any cake topper or cake favor that suits the personality of the would-be-bride.

Wedding cakes: The wedding cakes and the cake-cutting ceremony is a significant wedding tradition. There are wedding cakes which are baked in multiple designs and flavors.

Wedding Anniversary cakes: A wedding anniversary is as special as the wedding. For this special event cakes are baked in many ways that reflect the couple's choice and temperament. A wedding anniversary cake is generally topped with candles that represent the total number of years. You can also have two cakes in the shape of two numbers like one and zero if it is a 10th wedding anniversary. Again many couples opt for an exact replica of the wedding cake as a wedding anniversary cake. Cake toppers like a figurine of the wedding couple as they appeared on their wedding day can be reproduced to revive the past spirit. Wedding anniversary cakes are thus special occasion cakes.

For all these occasions, cakes are baked in individual style and taste. Most of the cakes are available in common flavors like chocolate, vanilla, lime curd, coconut etc. Filling can be done with fruits like banana, pineapple, peach, blueberry and nuts like walnuts, hazelnut etc. For icing you can choose from butter cream, chocolate Ganache, fondant etc. Special occasion cakes are very beautiful and elegant cakes.

One of the most popular wedding themes today is western weddings. People are looking to add a touch of the Wild West to their wedding. However, these themes are not easy to plan. People do seek help when it comes to getting western wedding ideas.  In actuality there are a number of ideas that can be used to create the perfect western wedding.

The typical thing that people think of when planning a western wedding of course is the music and the attire that they would expect their guests to wear. People are asked to forget about the tuxedos and suits and to wear jeans and cowboy hats. People are no longer expected to travel in cars but instead horse drawn buggies are used. However, once this is taken care of people wonder what else they can do to create a western wedding. Below you will find some great ideas for having the perfect western wedding.

1. Flowers- every bride is concerned about having the perfect flowers. Having a western wedding makes this so much easier as you can simply have wild flowers for your wedding. Wild roses give your wedding the perfect feel of the Wild West. You can also forget about flowers and you can add cactuses to your decorations. These are the easiest plants to take care of and you can even have tiny cactuses that can be given to your guests and wedding favours.

2. Faux leather ?a signature mark of western life is the use of leather for vest and chaps. Now you can create this look at your wedding by using faux leather to make tablecloths.

3. If you want to create a real rustic feeling then you can hang ropes instead of streamers at your reception. You can hang ropes of varying lengths and thicknesses.

4. Add a personal touch to your wedding by decorating your wine glasses. You can create a hand painted scene on your wine glasses and this can be done inexpensively.

5. In most cases you can plan this wedding somewhat inexpensively but if there was one area that you could splurge is on the wedding and party favours. For example you can create horseshoe place cards that will your guests the feeling of being in the Wild West. You can create these place cards yourself using a home computer. There are a number of different templates that you can use and all you have to do is print them off from their comfort of your own home.

It is important to keep in mind that when planning a themed wedding you can either go overboard and people can be overwhelmed with what you have done or you can do too little and leave your guests wondering what you were trying to do as a theme. This is something that you want avoid and it is also important that you seek the advice of friends and people who have been through this type of thing before.
