According to our panel of vintage wedding experts featured in our free Wedding Magazine & Bridal Guide – The Vintage Edition, there are so many ways in which you can easily add a touch of vintage inspiration to your wedding cake. Lucky for us vintage fans, they have shared a few of their secret wedding cake decor tips to show you how to carry a vintage style from the rest of your wedding to your wedding cake. 

Eat up these 8 DIY vintage cake tips to use in adorning and decorating your wedding cake into a tasty vintage treat!

Vintage Cake Lace Off-Cuts & Transfer

DIY Vintage Cake Tips - Wedding Cake with Lace Design (Sharon Wee Cakes) 
 
  • Lace off-cuts – Use an actual lace off-cut from your wedding dress or invitation – Sharon Wee Creations, Australia
  • Lace transfer – Transfer the lace pattern onto your wedding cake by using a variety of piping techniques or make moulds of the lace elements of your wedding dress and use it to create sugar paste pieces of lace with which to decorate your wedding cake – Lepetit Four, South Africa
