Monochrome Pink Buttercream Cake with Vintage Swags

If you're planning a party with a specific palette, sometimes the best choice is to keep the cake in the same key.

This all-pink buttercream cake was made with that in mind: soft, tonal, and full of detail. I used vintage piping techniques, ruffles, swags, and fine scrolls to create interest through texture instead of contrast.
This kind of work gives me room to focus fully on technique: spacing, layering, and balance. I love how it turned out, one color, but not one note.

A First Birthday Full of Wonder at the Waldorf

When a milestone is this magical, it deserves a celebration to match. Elyna turned one in a setting that blended elegance with charm, and the result was pure storybook charm.
For this occasion, I created a cake, cupcakes, and set of cookies that played with gentle textures, airy colors, and sweet little nods to Elyna’s Korean heritage. Everything was designed to feel delicate and joyful.
