This two-tier vintage-inspired beauty is one of those unforgettable creations. An ivory canvas dressed in hand-piped swags, ruffles, and floral frills.
The color palette leans gentle and graceful: pale pink, dusty lavender, sage green, and buttercream white. Each flower was piped individually, creating a cascade of petals that wrap around both tiers.
This cake was such a labor of love. From the start, I knew I wanted to fill every inch with hand-piped flowers that felt soft, romantic, and garden-fresh. I used a mix of gardenias, butterfly ranunculus, hydrangeas, gerbera daisies, roses, dahlias, and stock flowers, all in shades of pink, blush, dusty rose, lilac, and ivory.
It’s the kind of color palette that just melts you a little. Delicate and elegant, but still full of personality. I love how the flowers tumble organically down the sides, like they’re growing right out of the cake. Those subtle little details, the buttercream texture, the gentle pops of green, and the placement of each bloom are what make this cake feel so special.

Some cakes are sweet, some are stunning, and then there are cakes that stop people in their tracks. This two-tier wedding cake falls firmly into that last category. Covered in a cascade of buttercream blooms in deep burgundy, dusty rose, blush, and forest green, it’s a floral dream come to life.
When designing this cake, I wanted to capture the romance and elegance of fresh flowers—but in a way that’s completely edible. The bold burgundy and dusty rose flowers create depth and drama, while the softer blush tones and forest green leaves add balance and movement. Each petal is hand-piped, layered with care to create texture and dimension, making the cake look almost too beautiful to cut (almost!).
Sugar flowers are lovely, but there’s something extra special about buttercream florals. They’re soft, delicate, and delicious. Every flower on this cake is made with my signature buttercream, ensuring that beauty doesn’t come at the cost of flavor. Plus, there’s a certain magic in knowing that every detail was crafted by hand, petal by petal.
