Introduction
‘Vintage’ has become highly popular – especially when it comes to occasion and wedding cakes – so now seemed the perfect time to explore this theme. I had so much fun researching and creating the intricate and beautiful vintage cakes within this book.
So, what exactly does ‘vintage’ mean? Items such as clothing, furniture and household objects that range between 20–100 years old and are representative of the era in which they have been made can be given the label ‘vintage’.
Most of the cakes in this book are set around vintage styles, from the flapper dresses of the Charleston era through to 1950s big skirts and tight bodices. With projects ranging from simplistic tiered cakes to more complex, novelty creations, I have aimed to cater for all tastes and have tailored my designs to intermediate level sugarcrafters and above.
Following the Chic and Unique series, this book features ten main projects, each illustrated with clear step-by-step instructions and photography to show you how to recreate the cakes. It is important to read the whole chapter before you start, as some elements may need to be prepared up to 24–48 hours in advance.
Each chapter contains two alternative projects to make when time is short, or if you would like a little something to accompany the main designs. You will also discover a wealth of useful tips, technique information and recipes. I hope my ideas will inspire you and you will enjoy creating your own truly timeless, vintage creations.
