Sugarcrafted lace doiles have become one of the most popular vintage lace patterns in wedding cake design this year. It’s a slightly heavier style of lace and so creates a more defined lace effect than piped lace. Sweet Bloom Cakes, Australia have a number of beautiful designs in their collection featuring the vintage lace doile motif, including the two blush pink examples above.

To create your own lace doile cake design, we have a two tutorials here:

The most popular pattern for the lace doile motif is semi-circular, but De La Rosa Cupcakes have used a full size doile as a side design in their peach and white cake (below left) with Swiss dot piping for a pretty birthday cake design.

Below right, we have another exquisite lace doile side design – an intricate lace pattern paired with a crown of piped buttercream flowers for a fabulous special occasion cake design (image by Virgil Bunao via Style Me Pretty).

Chloe Kerr Cakes have combined the lace doile pattern together with broderie anglaise/eyelet lace cut outs for an adorable first birthday cake design below.

Australian designer, Hello Naomi has incorporated the semi-circular lace doile motif in her two fabulous cake designs below, piping the doile pattern for a more delicate effect.
