Inspired by the decor and architecture of the Baroque period, the most lavish and opulent cake style of the moment is without doubt the gilded gold antique frame cake design.<\/p>\n

Pioneered by the magnificent cake art of Alexandria Pellegrino of The Cake Opera Company<\/a> in Canada, the design trend has seen top cake artists create ornate, gilded frames in sugar rivalling the grandeur of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.<\/p>\n

While it is a design style that is primarily over-the-top and luxurious, it can also be adapted for more low-key, simpler creations and even contemporary designs.<\/p>\n

The spectacular feature cake above is by the UK’s own queen of sugar gilding – Diana Woolmer of Dee’s Sweet Surprises<\/a>.\u00a0 All of Diana’s cakes bear her unmistakable touch of luxury with gilded details and frames – no matter what the cake occasion, Dee’s Sweet Surprises can gild it!\u00a0 The design above is one of the more heavily ornamented styles, with layers upon layers of gilded accoutrements and gilded robing for a truly over-the-top, luxe look.<\/p>\n

Cat Collins of\u00a0 The Cake Whisperer<\/a> is also a long-time fan of the sugarcrafted frame in her super stylish wedding cake collection, including the stylish wedding cake above in soft muted tones. The beautifully shaped ornate gilded frame is embellished further with studded dragees, with the “peeling layers” effect of the second tier adding a wonderful “faded elegance” feel overall to this beautiful antique design.<\/p>\n

La Fabrik A Gateaux<\/a> of Quebec have also graced a number of their wedding cake designs with sugarcrafted antique frames in their cake styling, incorporating it with the bridal couture trend of ruffled fabric in the design below, seamlessly blending two beautiful design trends. The fabulously ornate frame is set against a pearl beaded backdrop for the perfect touch of vintage chic. Rich gold set against pristine white also makes for an suberbly elegant wedding colour scheme.<\/p>\n
