Wallpaper - Rococo Cakes

Our Rococo Cakes wallpaper, created by Carrie Cantwell, brings ornate eighteenth-century patisserie art to life with a playful, decorative character. Six intricately detailed cakes are presented within gilded portrait frames, each tied with a delicate ribbon bow at the top. Set against a soft beige background, the tiered cakes feature confectionary decorations including piped floral patterns, sculpted icing, pearls and heart motifs in a gentle pastel palette of soft pink, blue, green and pale yellow. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, this design features a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper that complements its painted detail.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in spaces where you want to introduce narrative charm and classic decorative character. In a dining room, it creates an engaging backdrop around a dining table, giving guests an intricate set of illustrations to admire up close. It also feels right at home across an open wall area in a kitchen, breakfast nook or dressing room, where the framed composition adds warmth without overpowering the room. Because the motif is arranged into distinct portrait frames, it performs best on an uninterrupted wall where the full arrangement of framed cakes can be seen together.

Styling it

To balance the decorative nature of the framed illustrations, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively classic and composed.

• Pair the wallpaper with painted cabinetry or furniture in muted antique white, soft cream, or gentle pastels pulled directly from the icing details.
• Warm timber flooring or a light wood dining table helps ground the pastel tones and provides a grounded, welcoming contrast to the ornate motifs.
• Incorporate subtle brass or gilded metal accents on cabinet handles, wall sconces, or picture frames to echo the gilded borders within the pattern.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a gentle pastel palette resting on a soft beige background, featuring shades of powder pink, dusty blue, sage green and buttercup yellow alongside rich golden ochre framing. When decorating around this design, adjacent walls work naturally in warm ivory, creamy off-white or soft biscuit beige to let the framed illustrations stand out. For trim, skirting boards and architectural woodwork, choosing a soft French grey or dipping into the soft sage green from the floral icing creates an elegant, cohesive interior.
