Some recent Coco Cake cupcakes flying out the door. The photo with the bite taken out of it, chomped by Yours Truly? It was an Earl Grey cupcake with earl grey buttercream. The picture makes me drool immediately, like Pavlov’s dog. Tea flavoured cupcakes are my super favourite right now! I love my daily morning […]
Coco Cake in Elle Girl Korea magazine!
I didn’t believe it until I got a knock at the front door with a UPS guy holding a package for me. Confused, I thought, “man did I buy something off Ebay and I totally forgot? I have a problem.” and then I looked down and saw it was from KOREA! Cool! So Elle Girl […]

Stella & Jonathan: Vibrant Fuchsia & Purple Wedding Cupcakes!
I love it when brides (and grooms!) come to me with a strong sense of colour and design for their wedding! Stella was intent on three gorgeous shades of fuchsia pink, a rich purple and a pale lavender, three colours I think look lovely together… ! Stella and Jonathan’s wedding took place on a freakishly […]
Ariana’s Bunny Cake vs. Arianna the Cabbage Patch Kid
Sometimes you can just tell you have a cool kid on your hands, even if you never got to meet them in person… the moms can really say it all. Mom Sarah emailed me, requesting a bunny cake for her daughter Ariana’s 4th birthday! I made it dark chocolate with vanilla buttercream and a raspberry […]
Dace 10th Anniversary Cupcakes!
Dace is one of my favourite Vancouver designers… her clothes are often described as “effortlessly chic”, which I think is a pretty darn good description. Throw on anything Dace and suddenly your outfit is much cooler than it was before. Simple, but with beautiful “interest” accents such as a puff sleeve there, a drape here […]
Truman The French Bulldog Cake!
Scott secretly ordered this Truman dog faced cake for his wife Bobbi’s bowling birthday party… a rated-G affair, pizza and bowling, as Bobbi is pregnant and due this summer! So cute! Bowling and pizza was my number one fave birthday activity when I was a kid… can’t even remember the number of times I did […]
Children’s Party Cakes – Dragon Cake, Cookie Monster Cake, Heart Cake!
Oh to Childrenland we go! I would say Coco Cake’s orders are a good 50% children’s birthday parties… which I love. I teach kids art, I adore kids and find them hilarious… so I’m always super stoked to make something for a little cutie-pie maniac kid or that softspoken shy kid or that inquisitive, funny […]
Burger Heaven: Burger Cake, Fries ‘n Soda!
Man oh man. If there’s one cake I don’t mind doing over again it’s the Hamburger Cake Classique. It kills me every time! Marissa asked me if I could do a burger cake for her husband Steve’s birthday… her excitement and enthusiasm for the cake was matched by my own hyperness — I love the […]

How about this MISFITS cake! This is a sneaky thing to post on Valentines Day but it was ordered with love, and made with love and care by little old me…!

Chinese New Year!
As I get older I really worry about losing my Chinese-ness. I grew up both as Chinese and Canadian here in Vancouver, BC… my parents were also born here, as were 3/4 of my grandparents… but as the older generations get older and the newer generations get more lofan, I sometimes wonder if my own […]
Lovepup + Dog Cake – Nuts About Pups
Haha… Some dog themes going down at Coco Cake HQ lately. First, an invitation from Chatelaine.com to create a “Valentine’s themed” cupcake for their 14 Days of Valentines Cupcakes feature. Forgoing the usual hearts and flowers route, I made a funny little dog-faced lovepup cupcake. Say that five times! Pretty darn fun feature idea, over […]

Coco Cake Land at Indie I Do!
