In this hands-on decorating workshop with Victoria, inspired by the elegant vintage heart cakes seen across social media and celebrations everywhere, you'll learn the art of transforming a simple cake into a beautifully piped showpiece.
Working with a pre-baked layered cake, Victoria will guide you through shaping, filling, and finishing your cake before introducing you to the decorative over-piping techniques that define the classic Lambeth style. From delicate shells and swags to intricate borders and flourishes, you'll discover how layers of piping can create a stunning vintage effect.
With expert guidance throughout, you'll have the opportunity to personalise your design with your choice of colours and decorative details, creating a cake that's completely unique to you.
