Hello there, cake pals!
Thank you for visiting Coco Cake Land.
My name is Lyndsay and I’m the lady hanging out behind the scenes of this one-woman-cakesplosion.
I’m a self-taught baker as well as a blogger, freelance writer and photographer. I live amongst the mountains and ocean (okay, and some garbage) in my hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada with my husband and son. Lately I’ve been experimenting with plant-based baking, which I’m super excited about!
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 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
- A popular post around these parts is this Peanut Butter + Jam Chocolate Cake Recipe!
- I made cakes to commemorate the Women’s March!
- Several years ago I created this Hungry Caterpillar Cupcakes Cake and it’s still a popular little guy.
- I like buttercream piping a LOT!
- I’ve written a lot about my experience with breast cancer, even as told through cakes – like this boob cake post, and this Fuck Cancer cake post.

What is your background in?
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Women’s 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.)
More about me from a few recent interviews!
