Vintage Birdcage Cakes

Bird cage cakes by Peggy Porschen

A birdcage wedding cake is one of the most chic vintage cake designs of the moment.  Blogger Torie Jayne has posted an excellent tutorial on her blog on how to make and decorate a vintage birdcage cake (no longer available), and the good news is, it’s much easier than you think!  Zoe Clark also has instructions for this cake design in her book Cake Decorating at Home.

A vintage bird cage cake makes a wonderful cake, not just for weddings, but for lots of occasions like birthdays and anniversaries also, as the beautiful examples show above by Peggy Porschen (above) and below, from Made With Love Cakes on the right and via Tumblr on the left.

Vintage shades of blue are the most popular colours for the bird cage cake design but paler pastels are fabulous for this cake design also, with examples below by Boutique Affairs (left with photo by Lee Bird) and from Rachelle’s Cakes (below right).

While the pinks and lilacs above are beautiful shades for this cake design, shades of pastel green are a very elegant choice for this cake style also as demonstrated by the superb works of art by Rachelle’s Cakes (below left) and by Life is What You Bake It (below right).

(You can learn how to make the fabulous Rachelle’s Cake bircage on Pretty Witty Cakes here).

Shades of peach and gold make for a more unusual colour scheme, but work wonderfully nonetheless, with two beautiful vintage cakes  in these tones below from Eat Cake Be Merry (left) and by Tartufi Cakes (right).
