Vintage Romance: Valentine's Cake Decorating Class with Cake Niche

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with buttercream, romance, and a whole lot of vintage flair! In this hands-on cake decorating class, you’ll learn how to create a Lambeth-style (also known as “vintage”) heart cake—think elegant piping, frills, swags, and classic over-the-top charm.

Each participant will receive a prepared 5 inch two-layer heart-shaped cake, ready to decorate from start to finish. When you sign up, you’ll choose the flavor and filling from the following:

Cake Flavor

• Chocolate or Vanilla

Filling

• Chocolate mousse, whipped cream, or raspberry mousse

During class, you’ll get to choose your frosting colors and decoration style, making your cake totally unique—soft and romantic, bold and dramatic, or anything in between. We’ll cover piping techniques, design ideas, and tips for achieving that iconic vintage Lambeth look, whether you’re a beginner or just looking to refine your skills.

You’ll leave with a beautifully decorated heart cake, new decorating techniques, and the perfect edible Valentine (for a loved one… or yourself). No prior decorating experience required—just come ready to have fun and get a little sweet!

This class is kid-friendly! Children 12 and up are welcome, so long as they are accompanied by an adult. The ticket cost covers decorating a single cake - if both you and your child would like to decorate a cake, please purchase two tickets.

About Cake Niche

Hi I'm Anna! I’ve worked as a cake artist across the U.S., from Boston to Wisconsin to Los Angeles, and now I’m thrilled to own Cake Niche in Lexington Center. While in Los Angeles, I had the incredible opportunity to create cakes for celebrities such as Pink, Ken Jeong, and Tyler Florence of The Great Food Truck Race. After years of traveling and honing my craft, I decided to move back to the Boston area to be closer to my family and because I truly missed the charm and community of New England. Having grown up in Somerville and Winchester, Massachusetts, I’m especially excited to bring my passion for cake artistry back home and share it with the Lexington community.

This class is BYOB - feel free to bring your favorite beer or bottle of wine, especially if it would pair well with dessert.
