Lambeth
Style
If you're looking to shake things up this Christmas, why not try a unique twist on the classic festive cake? Forget the usual round or square tins—this year, embrace the charm of heart-shaped tins for a vintage-inspired creation. Paired with the elegance of Lambeth-style piping, your cake will be a showstopper at any holiday gathering.
Ditch the Traditional Fruitcake
While fruitcake has its place in Christmas tradition, it's not everyone’s favourite. This year, why not bake something you truly love? A light sponge, a decadent chocolate cake, or even a festive red velvet will do the trick. The pop of red when you slice into a red velvet cake is sure to add a joyful surprise to your holiday spread.
Decorate in Style
The beauty of Lambeth-style piping lies in its intricate layers and opulent details. Use bold, classic Christmas colours—think deep reds, rich greens, and snowy whites. Edible pearls make the perfect accent for that touch of sophistication, and a festive phrase like "Merry & Bright" or "Be Merry" piped on top will complete the design.
Add a Little Sparkle
For the ultimate finishing touch, sprinkle your cake with a hint of edible glitter. The shimmer will catch the light and give your dessert that magical, frosty glow—perfect for the holiday season.
Whether you’re creating for your family, friends, or a festive event, this heart-shaped Lambeth-style cake is guaranteed to impress. It’s vintage, festive, and full of personality—just like Christmas should be!
