Honestly. Sometimes I just want to put it on my head and wear it around like a pillbox hat. But then it would tip and unbalance and flop on the floor and I would have a big old cakey buttercream insanity mess to clean up! No to wearing cakes as hats, says me.
This cake! I loved it. And it was for a really lovely baby shower for the amazing Miranda of Blue Olive Photography, and all of her dear and crazy-creative friends threw her this really amazing looking party. Jeanie and Andrea were behind the shower awesomeness set-up and gorgeous decorations, in such a cute colour palette – yellow, grey, blue, orange and purple! No one asked me to make the cake purple but when I think of Miranda’s photography and style I think vibrant, fun and bright. Violet purple ruffle-puff buttercream cake just seemed like the right thing to do!
Thanks ladies for having Coco Cake as a part of the beautiful celebration.
And CONGRATULATIONS Miranda and Riley! Super exciting baby boy times ahead!

Hi Lyndsay, your blog really inspires me to learn how to ice as beautifully as you do! Which kind of icing tips do you use or recommend? Thanks! :)
lyndsay
@jing chiam, thank you so much – that is very sweet! ^__^
classic star tips are great for all sorts of things, like creating rosettes on cupcakes or on cakes, or for a classic swirl. i use the wilton 1M tip a lot! i also use an open circle tip (forget the number) a fair amount, too and it can make “pearls” all over a cake or nice dollops of frosting on cupcakes.
good luck and have fun!
