Joseph Lambeth
Joseph Lambeth was a British-American cake decorator.
Lambeth is known for having popularized a piping technique for the decoration of elaborate cakes, particularly wedding cakes.[1] This method was described in his 1934 book The Lambeth Method of Cake Decoration & Practical Pastries.[2][3] It peaked in popularity in the 1950s before being replaced by fondant decoration, but has experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 2020s, being described as both a "Lambeth cake" or "vintage style" cake.[4] Kate Middleton requested the technique be used in the creation of the cake for her wedding to Prince William in 2011.[5] Lambeth regularly competed in and won awards at the International Food and Confectionery Exposition in London, and also opened a cake decorating school in England.[6]
