Lambeth Engagement Cakes
A lambeth cake is a lovely idea for a wedding, it’s one of the main current trends. These retro cakes with a lot of sugar detailing used to be popular in the middle of the 20th century, and now they are on top, too. A white lambeth cake will be perfect for an engagement, no bold colors, blooms or other stuff, and a heart shape will elevate the look as it’s another hot trend. Need some color or more vintage flavor? Make it pink or blush and add sugar cherries on top. Little bows, edible ones, will give a playful and cute look to the cake, and these are another hot trend to rock. Adding calligraphy like ‘engaged’ or your monograms will make it more personalized.
