Until relatively recently, I hadn’t heard of this trend, but, lately, I can’t scroll through Instagram without seeing another wildly ornate, pastel-colored cake, sometimes in muted colors like sage green or dusty rose (my favorite), piped with dramatic ruffles, frilly borders and little messages.
Back in the 50s someone gave my mother a cake decorating kit. Her thing was roses. She piped what seemed like hundreds of them and we ate them until we were sick with sugar as only kids can. For years were cakes were decorated with Crisco roses an inch thick. I thank God that her next fad was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
Thank you for this—I’m still working on my piping skills so while vintage isn’t really
My aesthetic, it provides good, worthy practice.
Also Miami Subs, lol 😜🤣
Your own creation looks pretty darned impressive! Something I could never ever pull off.
Thank you!
