How to pipe a summer Lambeth Cake
When it comes to creating the perfect summer Lambeth cake, it's all about varying your colours and shapes! Use a different colour of buttercream with each of your piping tips for an eye catching palette.
Take your first tip and pipe a border around the top of your cake. Then move on to the sides, working to create swags, garlands and borders. There is no one way to pipe - get creative and layer up! And work on a turntable to make it as easy as possible to work around your cake.
Watch Sarah's video above to see how she created this beauty.
So go forth and pipe; your perfect summer Lambeth cake is just a few tools away! As ever, our favourite thing is seeing the amazing creations you come up with. Make sure we don’t miss your beautiful bakes by using the hashtag #CakeDecFamous when you tag us on Instagram!
