About Buttercream & Vintage Artistry
I specialize in Lambeth-style cakes, which rely entirely on intricate, multi-layered piping rather than fondant covering. These designs are ideal if you want that elegant, old-world aesthetic with a clean, buttercream-only finish. Since I use premium, stable buttercream, these cakes hold their delicate details beautifully while maintaining a softer, richer taste than standard fondant cakes.
Vintage-style cakes are all about the piping technique. My approach focuses on the classic Lambeth style—using specific piping tips to create those signature scalloped borders, swags, and delicate frills that define the aesthetic. It is a labor-intensive process, but it creates a texture and depth you just do not get with smooth fondant surfaces.
If you are looking for a cake without the heavy fondant finish, this is it. I prioritize flavor and texture, ensuring the buttercream is smooth enough to pipe perfectly but sturdy enough to withstand transit across Mumbai. Whether you want a monochromatic look, vibrant retro colors, or soft pastels, we can play with the palette.
The Practical Details:
- Customization: You can choose your color theme and piping style. Want gold accents or fresh floral toppers? I can incorporate those into the border designs to make them your own.
- Flavor Matters: Because there is no thick layer of fondant, the flavor of the cake and the buttercream filling takes center stage. I recommend pairing these designs with my Hazelnut Praline or Belgium Truffle sponges to get that perfect balance of sweetness.
- Delivery: I pack these cakes in specialized tall boxes to protect the intricate piping work, so they arrive looking exactly as they did in my studio.

I’m Prerana, and I believe a cake should be as much a piece of art as it is a dessert. I am obsessed with the details—hand-piping every single frill and rose myself—because that is what gives these vintage cakes their soul.
