Mickey Cake & Cupcakes For Baby Isaac!

Jacob contacted COCO CAKE with a request for his little cutie Isaac's 1st birthday party: Mickey Mouse themed cake and matching Mickey and Minnie cupcakes in chocolate and vanilla. I think my Mickey cake turned out pretty cute-- kind of Steamboat Willie era Mickey Mouse, vintage-look! I went with red and white stripey liners and a general red and white theme (I was thinking of Mickey's red party pants).

Happy Birthday Isaac!! :)

Hello Lehlo!

How cute is my crafty art pal Joanne and her incredible design skills? I love parties with a beautiful design sense, and parties with serious cuteness... such as this whale invite! I made a dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling, with a little fondant whale in the color themes of red and blue, and mini dark chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache and colorful sprinkles.

Such a beautiful story too... Joanne's friends Julian and Catherine have adopted a baby from South Africa and have named him Lehlo... beautiful picture of the two of them cutting the Coco Cake whale-topped cake...! Amazing.

The last two pics (and the pic of the lovely couple smooching!) are ones Joanne took of the party... love the set-up, the heart cupcake pics, the goodie bags and the whale/heart theme everywhere!

Congratulations Julian and Catherine on the new addition to your "pod"!

Coco Cake Round-Up: Children's Party Times!!

Oh, crazy children of the world. They love to part-ay like it's 1999. And they love to part-ay with their cakes, and their cupcakes! Here is a big old collection of some of Coco Cake's recent children's party projects. I love kids--I am lucky I get to work with them twice a week teaching art, and that I have the CUTEST niece and nephew (see above pics!). I can't even believe I have another niece or nephew arriving in May. Go childrenland go!

This movie made me chuckle. I watched it with my sister (who teaches grade 4) and her entire class at a year-end movie party. I liked all the char-siu bau (BBQ pork bun) references... !
