Raspberry Buttercream Cake with Vintage Piping

This tall raspberry cake blends vintage buttercream piping with a modern, minimalist finish. Crowned with fresh raspberries and framed with soft vanilla swirls, it’s the perfect choice for elegant birthdays, bridal showers, and stylish celebrations. Designed for fruit lovers who appreciate detail and balance.

A Modern Take on the Fruit-Covered Cake

This dome cake isn’t just about looks, though it certainly has those too. With four tall layers inside, it’s designed to hold its structure while delivering fresh berries and detailed buttercream details on the outside.

Fruit and florals can easily become overdone, but here, they stay precise. This cake balances elegance and abundance without ever looking fussy.

Pastel Mini Cakes with Vintage Buttercream Details

There’s something undeniably charming about mini cakes, especially when they’re covered in delicate piping and pastel colors. Our Petite Four set features four vintage-style mini cakes, each one finished with hand-piped bows, florals, and plenty of buttercream texture.

These are perfect for intimate celebrations, dessert tables, or as extra-special gifts. Each cake is designed to stand on its own, but they’re even better as a set. You’ll find ruffles, swags, and sweet details in every bite.

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.

Here’s to Elyna’s first year!

Vintage Monogram Cake with Buttercream Roses

The cutest smash cake for a first birthday party. Personalized with the little girl's initial.

Berry Sweet and Draped in Ruffles

Just the right pop of red from those little berries!

The Sweetest Buzz

A simple design with hand-painted flight trails, bees, and an ivory backdrop to let it all shine.

Cupcakes in Their Coquette Era

These little cupcakes feel like “cameo brooch meets sugar art.” Soft pink ruffles, piped rosebuds, and dainty bows, each one a tiny vintage dream. I wanted them to feel like something you’d find tucked into a jewelry box... if jewelry were made of buttercream.

Perfect for tea parties, baby showers, or anyone living their coquette era. Small, sweet, and unapologetically frilly.

Vintage Buttercream Cake with a Rosy Twist

This cake is all about the drama, light pink buttercream, hand-piped bows, and tiny roses that took way too long but were totally worth it.

It’s a two-tier design with vintage vibes, cameo details, and enough ruffles to make a debutante blush.

Perfect for birthdays, bridal showers, tea parties or just because you feel like being extra.

Swirls, Ruffles & Buttercream Blooms

Light blue tops, ruffled edges, and buttercream flowers that look like they belong in a mini garden party. They’re giving vintage cameos meets springtime tea vibes.

Each one is hand-piped, so no two are exactly the same (just like all good things in life). Sweet, delicate, and dressed to impress, these cupcakes are perfect for birthdays, baby showers, or any day you feel like being a little fancy.

Because cupcakes deserve to wear frills too.

Carousel-Themed Mini Cakes for a Pastel Birthday Party

If you love vintage charm, pastel colors, and party treats that double as art, these carousel-themed mini cakes are for you. I made this whimsical set for a birthday celebration and they were the sweetest little showstoppers.

Each mini cake was designed with inspiration from classic carousels: tall tops that mimic the shape of carousel tents, ruffled piping that sways like twirling skirts, and soft colors straight out of a fairytale. Shades of baby pink, powder blue, lemon yellow, and sage green brought that playful, candy-colored magic to life.

Whether you're planning a carousel birthday party, a vintage-inspired baby shower, or just love a nostalgic cake moment, these custom mini cakes bring all the pastel joy and party energy you could want.

Handmade with love in Northern Virginia, I create custom cakes for clients across Loudoun County, Fairfax, Leesburg, Middleburg, and Washington, D.C. Looking for your own set of themed mini cakes or a statement birthday cake? Let’s bring your sweetest ideas to life.

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.
