Cute Grassy Bunny Cake & Lavender Mini Cupcakes

I love this funny little cake with the mini white fondant bunny hiding in the grass! I love it especially too because it making it reminded me of how lucky I am to have such cool, caring and nice customers! I've made a few little numbers for the cake-loving Mack family over the years, and it was so nice to hear from Julie again! Her request: a bunny themed cake for a good friend's birthday, with lavender rosette mini cupcakes too. The cake was vanilla with raspberry jam filling and vanilla buttercream and I made a cute little colorful bunting to display on top of the cake, too. Love how a bunting can elevate a cake into a real party-time feel!

So Julie showed up to pick up the cake, and brought with her sweet presents for my almost 7-month-old baby Teddy! Soooo nice and thoughtful! We yacked it up for a good fifteen minutes, catching up and talking about baby stuff, and Julie held Teddy for a bit, too! He was pumped on his panda bear puffy book and cute owl blanket she brought... and I'm sure he drooled all over her!

Thank you so much Julie for the fun order, and again for the cute presents for Teddy!

Ariana's Bunny Cake vs. Arianna the Cabbage Patch Kid

Sometimes you can just tell you have a cool kid on your hands, even if you never got to meet them in person... the moms can really say it all. Mom Sarah emailed me, requesting a bunny cake for her daughter Ariana's 4th birthday! I made it dark chocolate with vanilla buttercream and a raspberry jam filling. Ariana's fave colour is also light pink so I tried to pink it up as much as possible... Sarah was the nicest, and loved the cake. I can only hope Ariana loved it as well!

Making this bunny cake for Ariana caused this childhood memory to come flooding back to me:

Back in the 1980s, one Christmastime there was a mega massive craze for this ridiculous doll called the Cabbage Patch Kid. Whoever marketed this doll back in the day was a genius. Cabbage Patch Kids all had their own "personalities", including their own name and special official birth certificate, and, strangely, each butt of each doll was stamped with a scrawled signature of "Xavier", the creator of these dolls. Now it seems a bit Scientology to me, but back in the 1980s it was a must-have item. So anyhow I ended up with a redheaded doll named Arianna... (I originally unwrapped a brunette doll on Christmas day but my sister started crying saying she wanted the brunette... so I traded with her even though I also wanted the brunette! An early act of sisterly love...)

Arianna the Cabbage Patch Kid had dimples, close-set eyes and carrot-orange yarn braids, a little-house-on-the-prairie style dress on, and... a rock-hard plastic face. So one night I was trying to cuddle my newfound doll, bonding with it, if you will. I pulled Arianna close to me for a hug and her hard plastic head clocked me square in the nose, causing spontaneous shock and tears. Sadness! I really never bonded with my Cabbage Patch Kid after all. I think it's because the face was poorly designed ... I couldn't find it cute, and crikey it was like cuddling a rock! Shortly after though I moved on to my true love, Pound Puppies! Haha...

I wonder whatever happened to my Arianna doll? Oh well. Maybe my mom knows.

Back to the cake -- I never tire of this bunny design! I just think it's so cute and funny. I think a cute addition would be a moustache or a pair of nerd glasses... but we'll leave that for the next time someone orders a Coco Cake bunny cake! ^__^

Happy Birthday Ariana! And thanks Sarah for the fun order!

Year Of The Rabbit!

Happy Year Of The Rabbit everyone! And how handy dandy it is that I have this bunny cake to post, a cake I made for my awesome pal Cindy's birthday, which happened to fall on Christmas Eve. Cindy is an artist, animator and illustrator here in Vancouver, and together with her guy Marc, they created this adorable New Year's animation!

The cake was green tea with matcha green tea buttercream... ! I added the carrot to this bunny design which I thought was chuckles-and-giggles hilarious. CHOMP!
