Make Your Friends Feel Special with 9 Thoughful Friendship Day Cake Gifts and Tips on Getting the Perfect Cake for Your Friends (2019)

Friendship is one of the purest forms of human attachment between people who may or may not be related to each other otherwise. It is a precious bond, which needs to be nurtured and cherished with trust, love and care. Friendship Day is celebrated all over the world and is especially dedicated to cherishing this beautiful relationship with your friends.

Though relationships cannot be weighed with money, investing in your friendship with a thoughtful gift will be a great way of showing your friend how much you value them. Sometimes, it is the tangible things that make for some of the best memories. Even if such gifts stay with the recipient for only a limited amount of time, it is the thought that counts. And in those terms, what's better than a cake?

You can personalise the cake with your group photo or with a special moment shared with friends. Contact a bakery which bakes personalised cakes and tell them that you will provide them with the photo and in most of the cases, they will be more than happy to help you with it. Select a high-resolution photo which reminds your friends of good times you spent with each other, and upload the same on the online shopping portal.

If you're unable to find a proper photo to put on a cake, you can also personalise the cake with a special message on it. You can pick an inside joke or the name of your gang, and say something about it on the cake. So, it is not only photos that speak of special memories, but even words can do that. You can either take ideas from some of the great quotes available online, or if you love to write then just go ahead and pen down your feelings in fewer than 10 words. You can ask the online bakery to inscribe those words on your cake. Personal messages not only increase the meaning of the cake but also add to the beauty of it.

To get a personalised cake it is crucial that you know what your friends’ likes, dislikes, and hobbies are. Let their hobbies be your inspiration as these can be your guiding star while giving directions on the look of the cake. Is your friend crazy about some Disney character, or is he a football buff?

Once you know that it will be easy for you to get a themed cake or a simple classy cake or a photo cake. This will surely tell your friends that you really care for them and value their individuality. Giving gifts is your choice, but being able to gift something which the receiver loves reflects the actual beauty of your friendship.

Once you have decided on what you want, next is to opt for the bakery which helps you to execute your plan.

The cake is supposed to be eaten! While the look matters a lot, but if you get the flavour wrong, the entire purpose will go in vain. So, find out the flavour your friends love and choose a cake of that same flavour. If you have observed, most of the online stores have the option of choosing the flavour of the cake as they all know how crucial it is. Then comes the filling - some cakes are fondant, others are non-fondant. It also plays a crucial role in deciding the taste of the cake. So try to know about your friends taste buds as much as possible.
