Traditional Royal Icing Masterpieces

What Are Lambeth Cakes?

Lambeth cakes represent the pinnacle of traditional English cake decorating, featuring intricate royal icing piping in a distinctive style developed at London's Lambeth School of Art in the 1890s. These elegant wedding and celebration cakes showcase elaborate scrollwork, delicate overpiping, stringwork, and ornate latticework in pristine white royal icing.
