The Romantic Hydrangea Cake

Some cakes are made to be remembered.

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 Wedding Cake Was Basically a Garden in Buttercream

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.

A Garden of Buttercream: A Floral Wedding Cake to Remember

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.

A Cake That Feels Like a Bouquet

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!).

Why Buttercream Flowers?

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.

Why Geese Are the New It-Girls of Cake

Move over, butterflies and swans, 2025 belongs to the geese. These silly creatures have taken over fashion, home decor, and now, cakes.

A Buttercream Cake with a Tasty Italian Twist

When I first heard "Italian-inspired party," my brain went straight to pasta, pizza, and all the delicious things you’d find at a big family dinner. But when @bubblepopparties asked for a cake, I knew we had to do something different. Enter: the buttercream tomato cake.

No, it’s not savory. No, it’s not an actual tomato-flavored cake. It’s just a whole lot of buttercream, piped to perfection, with tiny little tomatoes to bring the theme to life. And somehow, it works.

The full party setup took things to another level—tomato balloons and that perfect mix of classic Italian vibes with a fun, playful twist.

A Baby Shower with Buttercream Florals & Fresh Blooms

There’s something magical about a beautifully coordinated event where every detail feels intentional and harmonious. I recently had the pleasure of creating a set of buttercream floral cakes for a dreamy baby shower at Lady Camellia Tea Room, and the entire setup was pure elegance.

For this special occasion, I collaborated with the incredibly talented Tang Austin, ensuring that the floral arrangements and cake decorations were perfectly in sync. We carefully selected soft, romantic tones, pale pinks, delicate greens, and subtle ivory hues to create a seamless connection between the fresh flowers and the hand-piped buttercream florals on each cake. It’s always a joy when cakes don’t just complement the décor but truly feel like an extension of it!

Each cake was decorated with buttercream leaves and blossoms, inspired by the event’s floral theme. The delicate textures and soft colors brought a touch of garden-like beauty to the dessert display, making them as much a part of the décor as they were a treat for guests. Arranged on an elegant gold display shelf, the mini cakes sat alongside fresh floral arrangements, delicate glass vases, and sweet little gift bags for the guests.

I love when my work allows me to collaborate with fellow creatives who share the same eye for detail. Working with Tang Austin on color coordination ensured that everything felt beautifully cohesive—no small detail was overlooked! Whether it’s a baby shower, a wedding, or any special celebration, there’s something so rewarding about seeing cakes and florals come together to create a complete, immersive experience.

This event was a lovely reminder that cakes are more than just dessert—they’re part of the story, adding beauty, meaning, and a personal touch to life’s sweetest moments.

The Sweet Charm of Bows and Rosettes on Cakes

Lately, one cake design has been making a frequent appearance in my kitchen, and honestly, I’m not mad about it! This two-tier cake, with its vintage swirls, bows, and frilly details, has been one of the most requested styles I’ve made.

I’ve created this cake in different color combinations, sometimes swapping in buttercream flowers or adjusting the piping details, and every version has its own unique charm. It’s one of those designs that feels like it belongs at any celebration—a birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, or even just a fancy gathering where cake is a must (which, in my opinion, is always).

I love that people keep coming back for this design and asking for their own version of it!

A Vintage Piping Cake for a Bridal Shower

Some cakes don’t need to be towering to make a statement. This little beauty is a scaled-down version of a past design, but don’t let the size fool you, it’s bringing all the vintage piping drama. Swags, ruffles, pearls, and the kind of buttercream texture that makes you want to stare at it just a little longer before grabbing a fork.

Bridal showers are the perfect excuse for a cake like this. It’s got just the right mix of elegance and nostalgia, like something straight out of a 1950s wedding magazine but made for today. The soft pink (yes, pink is always a good idea) keeps things romantic, while the intricate piping layers add that over-the-top charm.
