Vanilla Raspberry Lilikoi Cake
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. I find myself watching her Stories like I’m watching a reality show… […]
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
Look at this FACE! It’s the kawaii pineapple cookie cake you didn’t know you needed. 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 […]
Cake Walk Cakes + The Winner! (Finally!)
If you are one of the seven actual readers of this blog, you may recall last year’s SADDEST CHILD IN THE WORLD GREAT CAKE WALK DEBACLE OF 2017 which turned into the GREAT CAKE WALK THEMED TEDDY’S BIRTHDAY OF 2017 BY WHICH HIS MOM MADE ALL THE CAKES FOR THE CAKE WALK THEMED BIRTHDAY. Last […]
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 […]
Earl Grey Cream Pavlova
Another Mother’s Day is upon us and with each year, my attitude towards motherhood shifts, changes, settles happily and uproots again. I am loving this current year of being Teddy’s mom – the excitement of starting school, the beginning of after-school activities like art class with one of my favourite Vancouver ceramic artists and freaking […]
All The Piping Tips: Buttercream Flower Piped Cake
It’s ALIIIIIVVEEEEEE!!! That’s all I could think of as I was piping this hilariously overdone buttercream-covered cake. Like the cake was going to be all like “SMELL YA LATER, LYNDS!” and shuffle off the table and open the door into the great unknown, leaving a snail trail of frosting in it’s wake. I made this […]
Cherry Bombe Jubilee Cake Of Insanity!
Happy Cherry Bombe Jubilee day! I made this Cherry Bombe Jubilee cake of insanity to celebrate! Last year in 2017, I had such a life changing, hilarious and inspired time attending Jubilee in NYC, I met so many incredible women and got to speak on a panel with some top dog food bloggers that I adore. […]
Winking Flower Crown Cake For Genius Kitchen
Wink wink! “It’s Coachella Season” buttercream flower crown cake, my latest cake for Genius Kitchen! I missed the party boat for Coachella, and now I’m too old and too comfortable to want to get blazed in the desert with huge crowds, lots of dust, too many good looking people and too many overflowing port-a-potties. I […]
Purple Cat Cake For Olympia!
I feel so lucky to have such good people in my life. Erika and Robyn are two of those fine folks, and my friendship with Erika has blossomed like a Georgia O’Keefe flower over the years, fuelled by our mutual love for snacks, celebrity lesbian power couples (K-Stew, Beth Ditto, Cynthia Nixon, Sarah Paulson/Holland Taylor […]
Kawaii Sun Cake!
I know, I know. The cuteness is ALMOST TOO PAINFUL. This cake has arrived just in time for SPRING SUNSHINE. Keep it up, sky!! A few years ago I made this kawaii sun cake design for Handmade Charlotte and I thought I was SO CLEVER with the Pocky stick sun rays. Then I was like, Pocky…? […]
