Bunny cake! Bunny cake! Bunny cake! A 9 inch round vanilla cake with dark chocolate ganache filling for Abby’s birthday, ordered by her husband Lorne. Next time I will include a little carrot somewhere. On his face? On the side? Hmmm…

Steak Anyone? Steak Cake!
Oh man. Doing fake food cakes is probably one of my top favourite types of cakes to make. I just think it’s so hilarious for some reason. Remember last year when I made this fish cake with a sad face? This year Adele asked me to create a steak cake instead! I made two large […]
Toasted Coconut Ice Cream
Coconut question of the minute: Can toasting coconut and steeping it in milk really make the ice cream difference? Can the darkened, crunchy and fragrant toasted coconut infuse the milk, รก la cereal milk, and churn out the loveliest, coconutty-flavorful creamy spoon of ice cream? These are the questions that keep me up at night. […]
Calgary Cousins Wedding Cupcake Cuteness!
Man I’m lucky I have cool in-laws. The Trawicks are prettty prettty sweet, although they are the first to self-deprecate themselves! Not only did I marry an awesome fellow, but in tow came his great immediate family, his extended family, and crazy-town cousins (one of whom happens to also be one of my best buds). […]
Four Party Animals Straight From The Street. Sesame Street.
Heehee! I loved how these Coco Cake created nutbars turned out. As I handcut each little fondant eyeball and made the beaks and such for Big Bird and piped all their different types and colours of hairiness, in assembling them, I just couldn’t help but make little conversations up between them all. And of course […]
Maple Ice Cream With Candied Walnuts
I’m a nut for nuts. I’m so happy I’m not allergic to nuts. I think Mr.Peanut is hilarious, I can eat peanut butter with a spoon. And walnuts are the healthy brainfood nut. I also love maple syrup – so maple ice cream with candied walnuts = cool cool idea. I’ve decided to start a […]
An Apple A Day: Apple Wedding Cupcakes

PB+C Anniversary Cake!
Erin and Lenny are two lovely people who celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary recently… and Erin requested a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.

Richard Scarry-Inspired Sneaker Car Cake!
The very excellent Robin emailed me with a request: a special cake for her little cutie Henry (also known as Auggie) who was turning 1, and for her hubby Brady, who was turning 40. But she couldn’t decide on lion themed (Leo birthdays!), or shoe themed — because Henry adores shoelaces. We also threw around […]
Kai & Xian’s Toy Story & Sanrio Birthday Cupcakes!
Corrine contacted me nice and early with a request for her two cuties’ double birthday bash: A Toy Story themed cake and matching cupcakes for Kai, and Sanrio themed cupcakes for Xian! Coco Cake enjoys a creative challenge so of course I said “sure!!!” and… I adore Sanrio characters, as I’ve mentioned many times before […]
Vietnamese Iced Coffee Ice Cream
vietnamese iced coffee ice cream recipe Vietnamese Iced Coffee Ice Cream I am a coffee ice cream maniac. I think it all started with my mom’s famous ice cream mud pie. My mom has made this since we were kids, and it’s the one dessert all of my cousins and my sisters clamour for at […]
Jen & Ben’s Super Cute & Crafty Wedding Cake!

Somewhere Over The Rainbow: Rainbow Cupcakes
What a seriously beautiful song. Judy Garland singing it, only, from the amazing movie The Wizard of Oz! The song makes me think of hope and love and compassion, and making dreams come true. Pretty lovely! Sweet Claire ordered from afar a delightful gift for her friends Tara and Elladee’s housewarming: rainbow cupcakes! These cupcakes […]
Maneki Neko Cake & Cupcakes!
Eeeeks! I just love it when I get a cake request for something as ridiculously cute as the Maneki Neko. Maneki Neko is the little white cat with a paw saying “hello, come in and welcome!” that greets you at many Japanese and Chinese restaurants. It’s a ho-ho lucky cat that brings fortune and good […]
Tea + Roses Garden Party Birthday Cupcakes!
The beautiful girl that is Marla ordered an assortment of lovely Coco Cake cupcake goodies for her fiancee Arch’s brother and wife’s 40th birthdays… I tried to make a little garden-y tea party photo set-up for the cakes… I tried each cupcake flavour of course (as I always do). Yes, it’s been almost 2 years […]
