The Best 50th Birthday Cake Sayings

For birthday cake messages, we need something short and simple, yet catchy and meaningful. Use these 50th birthday cake sayings to give everyone a chuckle!

Most people just have the bakery write something basic like, “Happy Birthday!”, but that’s drab and totally unoriginal. You can make the cake and the birthday so much more special and memorable when you choose sweet, funny, witty, or meaningful cake messages.

When a generic “happy birthday” simply won’t do, you need something cool and unique. The 50^th birthday is a milestone occasion. On this very important day, you need every detail to be perfect, including the seemingly small things like the message written on the cake.

To get the best birthday cake saying, you need to put some thought into it. If you’re buying the cake, be sure you decide what you want it to say before you place your order. If you’re put on the spot at the bakery, you won’t be able to come up with the best message.

If you’re making the cake yourself at home, you have a bit more time and flexibility for coming up with the perfect 50^th birthday cake message.

You can create a basic idea on paper of what you want this saying to look like on your cake before you actually put it on. You don’t really get a second chance at this (unless you plan on baking a backup cake), so make it count.

Now is the time to think about the type of saying. You can make your message:

• funny
• romantic
• sentimental
• celebratory
• catchy
• personalized
• “inside” joke
• And more

It’s all about who the cake is for and what kind of emotions you want to convey. Let’s explore some ideas to get you started.

Funny 50th Birthday Cake Sayings

Birthdays are a time for fun and celebrations and if you want to have fun with your birthday cake, you can do so with a humorous message. There’s no reason to take things too seriously. Many people joke about 50 being a birthday where you start to get old.

If you like funny messages, jokes about death and dying can often make your guests (and the guest of honor) crack a smile. Here’s an example of this.

For this idea, you need a cake decorated like a coffin with the words:

“Here lies the youth of _______ [insert name]. Happy 50^th!”

Another option is:

“It won’t be long now! Happy 50th Birthday!”

You’re sure to get a laugh from these. If you want to choose a gender-specific saying, I have a few ideas to help you get started.
