I have searched But I haven't found exactly what I have been looking for. My closest Aunt is turning 50 (not until Dec.), and her hubby is planning a surprise party for her. Her birthday is close to Christmas and I don't want to do anything that looks Christmasy because she has had that her whole life, however her favorite color is red. I was thinking of doing a stacked cake with large deep red flowers, but I would love some other ideas, I just haven't come up with a great idea yet. Thanks for all your help.

I would look at pics of red-themed wedding cakes. Wedding cakes are usually more elegant than party cakes.

Here is something I did for a 50th wedding anniversary that might help give you an idea:

Here is one I did that could be done in just about any color. You could add flowers to the top instead of the big 50.

Thanks for the ideas and keep them coming. I did look at the red wedding cakes, that is what I meant by "searched." Nothing really popped out at me. Thanks so much again.

Check out sugarshacks pictures...she has some really nice ideas for that.
