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.
