This kitschy wedding cake trend won't be for everyone, but it's just too good not to share! Perfectly pastel, vintage-inspired Lambeth buttercream wedding cakes are all over our Instagram feeds (designers Hannah Weiland of Shrimps, Olivia Rubin and Emilia Wickstead are all fans!) and we can't stop staring! A little bit French neoclassical, a little Victorian and a little bit 80s, these cake creations come draped with pristine buttercream swirls, swags, ruffles and shell border piping, bedecked with cherries and glistening edible pearls, all with the Marie Antoinette seal of approval! Like the sound of these retro confections? We're sharing the Lambeth wedding cake trendsetters, and their kitsch cake creations to intrigue or inspire you!
