Lace Wedding Cakes Part 4: Lace Trim

We’ve had lace wedding cakes with applique lace, piped lace and stencilled lace – our final instalment on lace wedding cakes features cakes with real lace! There’s no simpler way to create that elegant vintage look than to wrap the base of your cake tiers in an ornate lace trim. We have two beautiful examples above from the wonderful Maki’s Cakes (left, author of Cakes to Fall in Love With: Beautiful Cakes for Romantic Occasions) and the fantastic Sugar Ruffles UK (right).

Lace trim looks even more fantastic against coloured icing as you can see from the pretty aqua cake by Little Cow Creative Cakes ( below right) and the dusky pink example above left (via Pinterest). If you are using white or ivory icing, you can make the lace trim stand out even more by first wrapping the base of the cake tiers in white or ivory satin ribbon and then overlaying this with the lace trim.  The high shine of the satin ribbon really sets off the detailing in the lace to full effect, as can be seen in the example above right from Rachelle’s Cakes. (Image below left via 100 Layer Cake).
