A 50th wedding anniversary cake will be one of the most important food items that you'll have to search for when you're planning your anniversary. The first thing you'll have to do is decide how big you want the cake to be as well as what flavors you want in a 50th wedding anniversary cake.

Depending on how many people you're inviting to your party you may need a real large cake. For example, if a couple is only inviting 25 to 30 people than their 50th wedding anniversary cake will only need to be 12" by 18" as this will be enough to serve approximately 36 pieces of cake. On the other hand, if you would like a very large 50th wedding anniversary cake because you are inviting more than 100 people, buying or making an 18" to 20" round or square cake will be plenty sufficient.

In addition, you'll need to find a good cake baker and decorator in order to have a decent wedding cake. For this task, ask around your family and friends to see if they know anyone who bakes cakes for a living. You could also look in the local phone book if you're unsure about where to find a cake decorator.
