Here is a real answer for you, This is known as the golden anniversary. I did one that was iced all white, and tiered like a wedding cake, and then I purchased the little gold foil leaves (available at cake supply stores/cataloges) and put them around the border. I also used some thin gold ribbon to tie small bows to put on the top borders. These are delicate details that even the most novice cake decorator can accomplish.

Answer 2

The simplest thing to do is to icing the cake. Icing can be either made or bought from a store. After that, it depends on what you want to do. People sometimes put toppings (coconut shavings, chocolate pieces / shaving, icing designs, sprinkles, nuts, fruit, cookie crumbs, and so on) onto the cake. Other make designs in the icing or use extra icing to add flair like icing flowers or swirls. Some color the icing to change the look. You can also use fondant, but that is getting a bit more professional.
