What does "vintage cake decorating" mean exactly?

A vintage style of cake decorating refers to designs inspired by classic cake trends from the 1950s–1990s. The designs are elegant, ornate, and a little whimsical. These cakes are known for their piped details, pastel colors, and nostalgic charm. Masooda will be teaching a few beginner-level techniques that will allow you to decorate your very own vintage-style cake!
