Vintage Suitcase Cakes

Suitcase cakes are always been popular with brides and grooms heading off on an exotic honeymoon, but they’re more popular than ever now for a whole host of occasions – as an 18th birthday cake for teenagers heading off on a gap year, as 21st birthday cakes for graduates heading abroad after college, for retirees embarking on a world tour or for wedding couples who met on their travels.

We#ve put together a selection of beautiful vintage luggage cakes to inspire you with the fabulous examples above by cake artists, Pavani Kaur of Firefly India (above left) and Elina Prawito of Bake A Boo Cakes, New Zealand (above right).

For a girl’s going away party, we have two cute pastel suitcase cakes below from London cake designer, Rachel Mount (below left) and from Blog Mega Silvita (below right).
