Vintage style cakes are very on trend right now, often referred to as Lambeth Cakes, these cakes are typically made from buttercream on a sponge cake and are piped with intricate designs to give them a vintage feel.

Having a varied set of Piping Nozzles is a must have piece of kit, we'd advise making sure you have a mix of styles so you can experiment in what looks best. Many of the nozzles used for Lambeth Cakes can be used again and again in multiple ways so they're a great investment item.

Choose from open star nozzles for a shell border, a frill tube for a draped effect and a round tip for flower centres and to create drop decortions around your cake.

Standard Buttercream works well for Lambeth Cakes but beware you have your buttercream at the right consistency by practicing on the side of a cake dummy or kitchen mug. Too loose and your piped decorations won't hold their shape. Too stiff and it'll be hard to pipe around your cake. We recommend using our Ready Made Frosting which can be coloured and flavoured to match your cake design.
