There's something so undeniably romantic about a vintage wedding cake. The delicate piping, the graceful swags and intricate details - they all whisper stories of a timeless celebration and old-world elegance.
My Daughter's Cakes has been serving and designing couple's wedding cakes for the past 15 years from our Dumont, NJ studio. While styles come and go, one thing remains clear: vintage and retro designs are making the most beautiful comeback, and I couldn't be happier!
Why is everyone so drawn to vintage cakes? Vintage cakes are meaningful and very personal. They bring a touch of nostalgia to the most modern of weddings. We are often reminded of our parents or grandparents own happiness when we take in the details of an intricately piped cake.
The iconic Lambeth-style piping on a vintage wedding cake is both art and a labor of love. It takes patience, precision and a practiced hand. It's also a very versatile style of cake since it can be either simple or more ornate. More ornate styles include layered piping to add depth and character. Use of color is also an excellent way to enhance the style. Using off-white, ivory and cream colors is classic and rich. Or, go bold with dark red and pink. Or, highlight romance with soft blush shades, or soft blues and lavender. Metallic gold or metallic silver touches can really make the design stand out. If your gown has pearls, you can have your wedding cake designer add candy pearls to your wedding cake.
