Red Panda Cake!

All these years I've been calling the panda bear my spirit animal. You know, panda bears are from China, I'm Chinese... but then there's this bumbling nutbar raccoon-like mammal lazing around in his fancy fur coat - yes, the red panda! These guys are so cute! So I have another spirit animal to choose from now. I wonder if red pandas like to bake cakes and eat ice cream. Hmmm...

I made this little cutie for baby Liam's 1st birthday - he has a red panda stuffie that he loves! Pretty darn cute. Happy 1st Birthday, Liam - and thank you Tiffany for the fun cake order!

Cute Animal Cakes For Little Jacob!

Gosh, a few years ago I did a baby shower cake for Alice, who was expecting a little one... and now, when the little babe has come out on the other side,  I get to do his birthday, too! Lucky! (ps, why did the Doors just pop into my head? Free cupcake for you, locals only, if you know which song I'm talkin' about!)

This was a fun order for an animal themed party cake and matching animal faced cupcakes for little Jacob. One of his favourite animals is the panda! CUTE! Hope he liked his "ate too much zany bamboo" panda cake topper and cupcakes!

Thanks so much Alice for the awesome order and Happy happy birthday little man Jacob!

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!

Race-car themed 2nd birthday cake for cute little Michael!

Vroom! Vroom! Or is it more like... putputputput...

Thanks again for the tzatziki and homous, Erin-- I am STILL working it off at the gym, aiyahh!

Henry's adorable PEANUTS themed birthday cupcakes...

Heehee! Kung-fu Panda cake for Jonelle's godson Wil!

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... !

Cute little Adrien's Harry & The Dinosaurs cupcakes!

Harry... with ginger hair... !

I had never heard of these characters before... but I think they turned out super cute!

Party! Panda Party!

My friend Helen sent me this hilarious link to the game "Pizza Party". Doesn't that look like the worst game ever? So boring!!! What a catchy song can do for marketing, I tell ya... but admittedly a pizza party is my favourite kind of party because I loooove pizza!

Happy Happy Birthday dear Rita! I hope you loved the panda bears... and that their eyes were far enough apart to be extra extra cute for you!!!
