Wallpaper - Cake Parade

Our Cake Parade wallpaper, designed by Lisa Wirenfelt, brings together a charming lineup of illustrated cakes resting on decorative cake stands. Rendered in an oil paint drawing style with flat illustrations and bold shapes, the motif features an array of playful confectioneries: a tall beige cake tied with a red bow, a rich dark chocolate cake accented with purple candles, a dome-shaped green treat with pink accents, two pink oval cakes, and a white cake crowned with red icing and a blue candle. Grounded by an earthy green base and soft neutral backdrop, this design adds a warm, graphic character to your walls. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully in a playroom or dedicated family creative space where a cheerful, storybook character feels right at home. The horizontal alignment of the cake stands creates an engaging visual rhythm across the wall, making it particularly well suited to an accent wall behind a low storage bench, craft table, or reading nook. Because the composition has distinct focal points across its width, we suggest giving our mural wallpapers a relatively open wall area so the full parade of cakes can be enjoyed without taller bookcases cutting through the motif.

Styling it

When styling around our design, we like to keep surrounding furniture simple and grounded so the illustrative qualities remain the centre of attention.

Painted wooden furniture in muted off-white or soft cream balances the bold outlines of the cakes nicely. To echo the graphic, heritage-inspired charm of the artwork, we would pair this wallpaper with low-profile storage units and practical display ledges rather than overly ornate cabinetry. Keeping larger surrounding elements quietly structured lets the whimsical parade stand out as the primary visual focus of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on earthy army greens and warm beige, enlivened by accent pops of cherry red, pastel pink, chocolate brown, soft purple, and gentle blue.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend drawing from the softer background tones with warm off-white, soft biscuit, or muted stone paint. If you want to lean into the deeper tones of the pattern, an earthy olive or muted moss green on skirting boards and window frames ties in naturally with the base of the design. Accent items in muted blush or subtle terracotta also work well to reflect the warmer icing details without competing for attention.
