The Bird Is The Word - Penguin Cake, Owl Cake


Penguin or owl - which would you rather be? Huddled in Arctic cold, waddling about with a ripping icy sheet wind blasting straight at your beak, but diving and gliding through water gorging on squid like a hot knife through ice cream? Or... burrowed in a tall tree, the night is your freedom, soaring wings through night air, glaring down at a scurrying mouse which will soon be a raw feast of fur and flesh in your talons?

Or... penguin faced cake with a TEDDY BEAR AND TWO OTHER MINI PENGUINS SITTING ON YOUR HEAD. This was the cutest request ever from my little buddies Kai and Xian- last year I made their birthday cakes - they wanted to order a special birthday cake (with the help of their mom Corrine, of course!) for their Dad! So sweet and so cute.

And... an owl cake for Maddy's birthday, ordered by her mom Miranda! I loved doing both of these cakes... both chocolate with fondant decorations. Bird cuteness all around.

I think I would choose to be a penguin, stone cold chilling on a block of ice with a crew of buddies eating sashimi. Or wait, would I rather be an owl, moving swiftly and surely from tree to tree in the night sky, eating mouse carpaccio??

Thanks Corrine and Miranda for the fun orders!

Crazy Cuteness Children's Coco Cake Round-up!

As much as I love blogging and obsessively photographing and documenting my cakes, sometimes my projects backlog and build up like Cake Mountain and threaten to spill all of their cake pixels on top of my black-haired (and flour-sprinkled) head. I have many, many cakes and cupcakes to post but in between I am making even MORE cakes and cupcakes! Do I feel like the lone Chinese Cake Elf in a Cake Factory sometimes? Why, yes! Slow down, Auntie Coco Cake!

Haha. So here is a slew of recent cakery mischief from the hands of yours truly, Coco Cake.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this Mario cake turned out super cute!
With matching cupcakes, for Emily's 30th birthday!

Doo doo doo doo doo doo... dooo!

"what, me worry? I'm gonna git you Bowzer!"

These were Lemon Frill flavoured cakes.

More than meets the eye for little Nathan's birthday! Chocolate!

My favourite part was the matching flags I made in red and blue stripes!

MONSTER MASH -- River's Halloween themed birthday!

Grumble grumble. Dark chocolate cupcakes with vanilla and chocolate buttercream.

Uncomfortable hanging out with each other in a box. Soon to be eaten.

Pretty chocolate Princess-themed cake for sweet little Lily's birthday!

With a ruffly cake board and a pink satin ribbon too.

I LOVE THIS GUY!!! Pablo the Penguin! A Berry Good cake for Hayden's birthday. I know Pablo is a mainstream character but lookit how cute he is!

"Hmmmmm....? You don't say....?" (Pablo's curious eyebrow move)

Could he ever beat my 1980s pal Tuxedo Sam though for cutest penguin award?? Noooooo! But maybe yesssssssss in cake form!
