A Pink Vintage Heart Cake on Cape Cod

Kelly & Jake’s Pink and Gold Cape Cod Wedding | Onset, Massachusetts

Kelly and Jake’s fall wedding on Cape Cod was the perfect blend of romance, coastal charm, and timeless design. Hosted at The Ballroom at Salerno’s in Onset, Massachusetts, their celebration featured waterfront views, easy access to Onset Beach, and a dessert display that felt both elegant and fun.

For their wedding desserts, Kelly and Jake chose a pink and gold theme with a statement heart-shaped cake and coordinating cupcakes for guests—proof that you don’t need a towering tiered cake to make a big impact on your wedding day.

 
 

A Vintage Heart Wedding Cake with a Modern Twist

The centerpiece of their dessert table was a pink heart-shaped wedding cake featuring vintage-inspired piping, a style that continues to trend for Cape Cod and New England weddings. Romantic, nostalgic, and effortlessly eye-catching, the cake perfectly complemented their fall wedding aesthetic.

The flavor was just as memorable as the design:

  • Lemon cake

  • Strawberry preserves filling

  • Naturally dyed pink strawberry frosting

The result? A cake that tasted like a strawberry milkshake—bright, fresh, and universally loved. This combination is a favorite among couples who want something light, flavorful, and a little unexpected for their wedding cake.

Cupcake Menu:

  • Red Velvet Cupcakes
    Cream cheese frosting, finished with white sugar pearls

  • Chocolate Cupcakes
    Chocolate buttercream, topped with gold pearls

  • Champagne Cupcakes
    Vanilla buttercream piped in a 1M rosette, finished with an emerald green leaf

The mix of classic and elevated flavors ensured there was something for everyone, while the cohesive styling made the dessert table feel intentional and polished.
