Best Ice Cream Cake Ever
I’m definitely no braggart (I’m a humble Canadian) but I’m gonna tell you why I think this *could* be the best ice cream cake ever. Number one: EASY TO EXECUTE with some COOL ICE CREAM CAKE HACKS such as adding almost an entire package of Oreo cookies to the ice cream filling. Number two: DEERICIOUS. […]
Coco Cake Land aka The Journey Of Lyndsanity
AHHHHHH!!! HAPPY CAKE BOOK DAY OF BIRTH!!!! Coco Cake Land the book is finally here!!!!!! And instead of being watermelon-pooped out of a 10 centimetres dilated vageen covered in afterbirth followed by the birthing of a “sure why not I’ll encapsulate this” placenta, it is actually a non-crying, non-vernix-covered GORGEOUSLY CLEAN CUTE KAWAII COLOURFUL CAKE […]
Elmo Cake!
It’s been a hot minute (7 years??) since I last made an Elmo cake, but my sweet lil niece Sydney (who I affectionately refer to as my “white niece”) turned two years old in July and she is wild about Elmo!! Who isn’t?? What’s not to love – red fur, a voice like a chipmunk […]

Pikachu Cake!
What can I say? You either know this nerd, or you don’t – you are either down with the POKEMON or you exist in a quiet, secluded and gentle vacuum untouched by the cultural phenomena of the last two decades. I existed lightly in this vacuum until my son Teddy turned the magical age of […]

Ahhhhh I love this pretty pinky striped vanilla raspberry lilikoi cake! I made this for a true original, my friend Phanie, who I have written about before – her blog Gang of Five, her IG Stories, she just lays it all out there.

Animal Cakes Mania!
The faces of my animal cakes have evolved over the years and I feel like I have so many more animal cakes up my sleeve! That, and Instagram story GIF cakes, like the notorious KAWAII PEACH BUTT cake. The pink kitty cake I made as a donation to a nearby school’s spring fair cake walk, […]
Coffee Toffee Strawberry Chocolate Cake Recipe
I made this cake for my dearest oldest sister Leanne aka Gyoza Girl Eats, pretty much thee number one fan of Coco Cake Land and supporter of all my crazy ideas over my entire lifetime. My only regret is the time I bit her on the leg when we were kids. SORRY SIS!!! This bonkbonks […]
Matcha Totoro Cake
The world, and the internet, sometimes feels like such a cruel little pinch in the nards. But – I really feel like you get what you give in life… ahem, I know that might seem like life is shitting on my head because, you know, breast cancer and all … but somehow, I am still […]
Kawaii Pineapple Cookie Cake
Okay. To be honest I had no idea what I was going to do on top of this giant chocolate chip cookie heart cake. Initially I thought I would put it in my bag and pipe it in all sorts of gorgeous vibrant colours like teal, turquoise, pink, green, etc – my niece’s favourite colours […]

Minty Green + Blue Buttercream Flower Cake
It is a pretty rare occasion that I do a cake order these days but I couldn’t resist my pal Jenni’s message, a birthday cake request for her dear mom: “She’s obsessed with ‘white cake’, like the normal-est kid birthday cake bought from Safeway kind”… so I made my favourite vanilla cake recipe and went […]
Gudetama Cake For Genius Kitchen
It’s Gudetama, the lazy egg yolk guy! Dripping over the sides of the cake! How do you like your eggs? I am a 6-7 minute soft boiled egg lady, sliced onto avocado toast, topped with whatever greens I have in my fridge and a sprinkling of chili flakes or Pollock-spurts of sriracha. Gudetama reminds me […]
Bunny Cake! Bunny Cake!
Every time I make a bunny cake it goes a little bit differently. Riffing off my own bunny from a few months ago, I went furry face this time, and added a buttercream rosette/drop star crown with piped leaves and a light touch of sprinkles! This bunny was not planned, in fact it was an emergency […]
