The Cutest Cake Trend of 2025: Heart-Shaped Cakes
If your Tiktok, Pinterest, or Instagram feed has been filled with heart-shaped cakes lately… you’re not alone. These adorable bakes have taken over the internet and our ovens in the best way possible.
From birthdays and anniversaries to “just because” surprises, heart cakes are everywhere and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.
At The Cake Daddy, we’ve fully embraced the trend. In fact, it’s what we’ve been baking non-stop! Whether you’re into clean pastel vibes or bold vintage piping, there’s a heart cake for everyone.
Why is everyone obsessed?
The heart cake (also known as the Lambeth Cake) is more than just cute. It uses an “over-piping” technique layering rows of butter cream with different nozzles to create a beautiful, textured look. Originally a 19th-century European style, it’s made a huge comeback thanks to celebs and influencers (yes, even Kylie Jenner has posted one).
But what really makes heart cakes so popular?
They’re symbolic, versatile, and totally customisable perfect for romantic occasions, friendship gestures, or self-love treats
Trending Styles We Love
1. Korean Minimalist Cakes
Soft pastel colours, smooth butter cream finishes, and tiny piped messages like “you did well” or “happy day.” These cakes give major clean-girl energy.
2. Vintage-Inspired Piping
Retro swirls, bold colours, cherries on top and dramatic borders. Think 1950s diner meets modern-day glam.
3. Bento Heart Cakes

From “Wifey” and “Crybaby” to trending TikTok quotes, these cakes bring the sass.
