At Terri’s Sweet Cakes, we’ve seen trends come and go, but nothing has captured the hearts of St. Louis like the recent resurgence of vintage-style heart cakes.

Crafting the Perfect Lambeth Heart Cake

The 'Lambeth' style is characterized by 'over-piping,' a technique where layers upon layers of royal icing or buttercream are built up to create a 3D, architectural effect. It takes years of practice to master the steady hand needed for these designs. At Terri's Sweet Cakes, we use our signature velvety buttercream to ensure that your cake doesn't just look like a piece of art, but tastes like one too.

Perfect Occasions for a Heart Shaped Cake

While anniversaries and Valentine’s Day are the obvious choices, we’ve seen heart cakes used for a variety of creative events across the city. From 'Just Because' gifts for friends in Webster Groves to graduation parties celebrating a SLU or WashU grad, these cakes fit every romantic and aesthetic occasion.
