Hello there, cake pals!
My name is Lyndsay Sung, and I’m the lady hanging out behind the scenes of this one-woman-cakesplosion.
I’m a self-taught baker and 3x published cookbook author. I live amongst the mountains and ocean (okay, and some garbage) in my hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada!
In 2026, I’ve pivoted – I’m currently working on my rom com novel! You can follow along on my writing journey at @lyndsaysungbooks ^__^
These days I’ve also been hilariously deep into posting to my Coco Cake Land YouTube channel like a pre-teen gamer.
I also play bass guitar in three bands in Vancouver: the all-mom punk band KCAR, the indie-pop shoegazer band Foxgloves and The Cure cover band Strawberries and Cream.
What is Coco Cake Land?
Coco Cake Land is a modern cake and dessert blog where I share beautiful cakes, original cake tutorials, party DIYs and dessert and vegan recipes, with a strong focus on visuals! You’ll also find a few snippets of my life beyond cakes – family stuff, and inspiration. In 2015 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and finished active treatment in May 2016. My prognosis is good and I am feeling pretty good about life, and cake!
Some of the Stuff I do
- Kitties! I love them! Also, this rainbow caticorn cake!
- With the encouragement of my tween child, I enjoy posting to my Coco Cake Land YouTube channel!
- Several years ago I created this Hungry Caterpillar Cupcakes Cake and it’s still a mega star.
- I like buttercream piping a LOT!
- I have a Substack now. Appropriately, it is called Sungstack.
- I wrote a rom com novel. Follow along on my journey to publishing at @lyndsaysungbooks!

More Information
What is your background in?
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Gender Studies and Film Studies, and a subsequent Bachelor of Media Arts degree in Integrated Media where I focused on film, video and music. I’ve always loved cakes though – but never imagined it would become my job, even though I always dreamt of being the cake decorator at Dairy Queen! (I still kind of want that job.) I didn’t start baking until I was 30 years old. It’s never too late!
More about me from a few recent interviews!
