Beautiful vintage cakes aren’t actually easy to make, especially at the beginning when you’re watching endless reels and YouTube videos trying to figure out how to replicate the same piping styles on your own cakes.
It takes a lot of trial and error to master the precision, the right buttercream consistency, and the techniques needed to achieve beautiful, consistent results.
This is the main reason why I created my E-book, The Art of Vintage Buttercream Piping — to save you time, energy, and frustration, so you don’t have to go through that journey alone.
And it doesn’t stop there.
When you purchase the e-book, you’ll also gain access to our private Facebook community, filled with tutorials, resources, live support, and a group of bakers all learning and growing together.
Because learning vintage piping is easier when you don’t have to do it alone. ✨
If you’ve been wanting to start your vintage cake journey or refine your skills, now is the perfect time.

Behind every beautiful vintage piped cake is someone who once doubted themselves.
I know because that someone was me.
There were moments I wanted to give up because my piping didn’t look clean enough, smooth enough or professional enough.
But little by little, with the right guidance and practice, everything started to change.
I stopped fearing the piping bag.
I started understanding buttercream consistency.
My hands became steadier.
And piping became something I genuinely loved.
So if you’re currently feeling discouraged with your cakes, this is your reminder that you are not failing… you are learning 🌷
Please don’t let fear convince you that you’re not capable.
You are closer than you think.
On May 29th at 10AM AEST, I’m hosting a FREE online piping class where I’ll help you understand the basics of buttercream piping so you can start creating with more confidence and less fear.

Some of my favourite piping tips I use on almost every vintage cake:
🤍 Loyal #27 is so versatile. It’s great for creating delicate reverse piping, tiny shell borders, and even zigzags. Let’s not forget this tip also creates beautiful mini swirls that resemble little roses. My favourite tip of all time🙌🏻
🤍 Loyal is an open star tip that allows you to create bold shell borders, mostly around the top and base of vintage cakes.
🤍 Loyal #2 is perfect for handwriting on top of cakes and for creating delicate swags around the cake.
🤍 Loyal #70 is a must-have tip in your collection. It creates beautiful garlands around the cake, as well as elegant top and bottom borders. You can even pipe gorgeous little bows with it.
In my Ebook, I explain in more detail the unique ways to pipe using these nozzles, and you’ll also find pre-recorded videos inside our private Facebook group to help you along the way!

One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is watching students grow beyond what they thought they were capable of ✨
Maryrose joined my group classes back in 2019 as a hobby baker wanting to improve her cake decorating skills.
Today, she creates beautiful custom cakes, cupcakes and cookies for baptisms, birthdays, baby showers, first communions and many other special celebrations.
Her work reflects so much growth, creativity and dedication, and I’m incredibly proud of how far she has come 💛
Seeing students build confidence in their skills and eventually grow their own cake business will always be special to me.

Your piping looks wobbly because your pressure is inconsistent.
When pressure changes while piping:
• shells lose definition
• garlands become uneven
• spacing looks messy
• borders stop flowing naturally
Vintage piping is not about talent.
It’s about understanding pressure control + consistency.
Another common mistake?
Buttercream consistency.
If your buttercream is too soft:
• details collapse
• piping looks smudged
• swirls lose shape
If it’s too stiff:
• piping breaks
• movement looks rigid
• your hand struggles to create flow
This is exactly why beginners feel frustrated even after hours of practice.
The good news?
Vintage piping becomes SO much easier once you understand the technique behind it.
Inside my E-Book you’ll learn:
• My signature Italian Meringue Buttercream recipe
• A clear step-by-step method for consistency and stability
• Practice templates for students
• Access to a private Facebook group
• Pre-recorded videos to guide you through the piping process
You don’t need more guessing.
You need the right method.
I have done the work so you don’t have to spend time watching endless videos to guess how to do it!

If your vintage piping doesn’t look clean… this is probably why.
Most bakers think they just need more practice.
But practice without understanding your buttercream will only repeat the same results.
When your icing is too soft, your frills lose shape.
When it’s too firm, your shells break.
When the consistency isn’t right, everything starts to look messy—even if your technique is correct.
That’s why your cakes feel inconsistent.
Not because you lack talent…
but because no one has shown you how buttercream actually behaves.
Once you understand that, everything changes.
Clean piping.
Better control.
More confidence in every cake you decorate.
This is exactly what I break down inside The Art of Vintage Buttercream—
✨ including my signature Italian meringue buttercream recipe,
and the piping techniques you need to create smooth, elegant vintage designs with confidence.
Because it’s not just about decorating… it’s about knowing how to make the buttercream work for you.
✨ Pre-launch is happening very, very soon.

it’s about mastering control, precision, and working with your buttercream at the exact consistency and temperature it requires.

– How to prepare your piping bags for a smooth, effortless flow

No more guessing. No more hoping it works.

Kiara from asked me to create a three-tier fondant cake to complement her styling for Tristan’s 9th birthday.
She shared a few inspo images and a sketch for the setup, and gave me free creative rein.
I really love how the blue hues work beautifully with the balloons and backdrop. The beach elements help tie the design together, creating something young, fresh, and summery.

When Jacintha sent me an enquiry about making her first daughter’s birthday cake, requesting a One Silly Goose theme, she included a picture for reference.
The design changed after receiving the sketch from the stylist, so I had to make a sketch myself to help us visualise the final design for the cake. In the end, Jacintha gave me full trust and mentioned she just wanted the cake to be elegant and not overly decorated.
That was all I needed to let the ideas flow, so the cake would tie in with the styling while also being the centrepiece.
These are the wonderful opportunities that allow me to do my best work.
Thanks, Jacintha, for your trust 💕

Here’s the thing…
When I added the marble (chocolate & vanilla) flavour to my menu about 5 years ago, I didn’t think it would become the most popular flavour.
I purely did it because it reminds me of home. It brings back memories of that delicious, soft and spongy marble cake my mum used to bake.
I’ve always loved not only the beautiful taste, but also the amazing look when we cut it to reveal the inside 😍
To this day, it remains my best-selling flavour for all the right reasons—pleasing young kids, adults, and a more mature audience.
Do you have a particular flavour that brings back childhood memories?

How to create a Heart vintage cake from a round cake.
1. Crumb coat → chill
2.Make two angled cuts on each side to create a point at the bottom. I like to use a square piece of paper which can fit on top of the round cake size.
3. Remove two bottom side pieces and shift them upward to form the top curves of the heart.
4. Trim as needed to smooth the shape.
5. Chill the cake for 5 min in the freezer before icing
6. Start icing the cake and smooth as required.

Silky garlands and well-defined frills, all crafted with the most delicious Italian meringue buttercream.
Our signature icing has been loved and praised by clients for years. What makes it truly special is its perfect balance never overly sweet, with a light, smooth texture that comes from the balance between sugar, butter, and meringue.
I’ve been working with Italian meringue buttercream since 2013, so I understand it inside out—its structure, its versatility, and how to make it perform beautifully in both summer and winter conditions.
Its flavour is refined and unique. While it can be a little more labor-intensive to make compare to other type of buttercream, it’s absolutely worth the effort for the finish and taste it delivers.
If you’ve ever struggled with buttercream consistency or want to confidently create smooth, professional finishes and elegant piping like this, keep watching this space… something exciting is coming to help you refine your skills. ✨

Elegant, minimalist, and monotone, that was the brief.
A design that honours the beauty and significance of such an important celebration.
Xavier’s baptism cake features a vanilla and chocolate marble base, filled and finished with vanilla bean Italian meringue buttercream — our signature icing.
Decorated with delicate wafer petals and soft palette knife textures.
If you have an upcoming religious celebration and would love something specially custom-made, get in touch — I’d love to bring your vision to life.

When Silvana approached me for a vintage cake design for her niece’s thirtieth birthday, I couldn’t resist.
She was looking for something beautiful, but slightly different from the heart-shaped trend with bows.
This particular design took me longer than anticipated 🫠
I had to re-pipe the top of the cake three times until I was truly happy with it. Building a double layer of ruffles in a semicircular shape was harder than it looks.
But I’m so glad I persevered, because I learnt a new technique along the way.
I’ve been piping vintage cakes on a weekly basis lately, and I’m loving it—even with the warm, humid weather.
