From intricate designs to pastel frosting, here are some of the best Instagram bakeries to check out for a slice of these gorgeous cakes

Vintage buttercream cakes have been all the rage and for good reason—a quick Instagram search and you will find a myriad of accounts offering this mouth-watering dessert that’s pleasing for both the eyes and stomach. Perfect for any occasion, these layered cakes are skilfully decorated using traditional piping methods. 

While these slices have recently regained popularity, they have been around since the 19th century. Previously known as Lambeth-style cakes, these tantalising confections were traditionally finished with intricate designs made from royal icing. Today’s version swaps sweet royal icing with rich buttercream frosting.

If you are looking for a creamy slice of cake, here are some of the best home bakers to look up on Instagram for some delightfully pretty cakes.
