French Patisserie Inspired Buttercream Cakes

Pastel square cakes are an obsession. They’re dramatic in the softest way; little architectural stage sets trimmed in ivory swags, ruffles, and piped ornament details. I love how they feel like antique trinket boxes or miniature theatre frames from a Paris boudoir.

I love how the ivory piping sits on the pastel panels like tiny curtains in a miniature opera house. That’s the vibe. Cake as set design.
