Two. WEEKS. TIL. PUB. DATE!!! Two weeks from now, my sweet lil Coco Cake Land book will be on the bookshelves of actual stores, and in the laps of actual people!!!!! To celebrate, I’m giving away a copy of my book, PLUS a jar of my very own custom Sweetapolita sprinkles mix!!! You can’t buy this mix, you can only win it through my Instagram giveaway, and the Instagram giveaways of some of my closest blogger buddies! Oh shnikey!!!
A few months ago I was having din din with Steph and Molly when Molly was visiting Whistler. They were helping my panicked self brainstorm some cool-guy ideas for book launch time… Steph suggested a Coco Cake Land sprinkles mix… AND HERE WE ARE, BABY!!! Rosie of Sweetapolita has been a cake blog friend of mine for years and years – I made circus animal cookies from her book back when her book came out in 2015!
CUTE!!! Sweetapolita based the colours and vibe off of my book cover!! YES! After a few iterations of sprinkle mix, the buttercream-covered thumbs up was given, and the sprinkle mix was created!
I literally chose the hottest day of the summer so far to bake and frost this striped Lyndsanity sprinkled colour blaster of a Swiss Meringue buttercream frosted cake!!! I was 90% crying in the hot hot heat of my muggy kitchen while frosting this, then photographing it… ! The recipes for this vanilla cake and my version of Swiss Meringue buttercream can be found in… yep, you guessed it – MA BOOOQ.
When I was making the cake topper, honestly the only thing that came into my head was GIVE IT AWAY NOW, hehe, a rickdickulous reference to a very old and rather embarrassing song that I used to listen to back in grade nine while trying to be very edgy and cool. To enter the giveaway check out my Coco Cake Land Instagram for more, and to enter to win!!! Hehe!
I want to also give a HUGE sprinkly thanks to Rosie and her crew over at Sweetapolita for making this happen!! xo Lyndsay
