Happy New Year!

Happy 2011 everyone! I just want to say thank you so much for taking the time to visit and read my blog... I wish I could meet all of you and high five you in person! Your support of Coco Cake in 2010 was really amazing and I do appreciate it. More fun and exciting times ahead for me and my little crazy cake world in 2011... stay tuned!

This was a beautiful, special wintry December wedding between two lovely people, Laura and Adam! Laura is the incredible Music Together teacher who teaches my nephews and niece about music, instruments, singing, sounds, sharing and family. I had the pleasure of sitting in on a class with my nephew Brody a year ago and it was so sweet, and fun... and I could see how the children adored Laura with her warm, open personality and her lovely singing voice. Laura and Adam requested a Bird singing to a Fish cake for their wedding cake! And with lovely, simple dark chocolate mini cupcakes in silver liners, with white blobettes of frosting and delicate little silver pearls to adorn them. A sweet winter-inspired wedding for a kind and loving couple.

All the best Laura and Adam! And Happy New Year to all!

My Dad's Birthday Cake: Hairy Dog With Moustache!

It was my Dad's birthday on December 17th and we celebrated by hitting up an old family favourite Portugese restaurant here in Vancouver. They do crisp potato chip-style fries fresh out of the deep fryer, which accompanies platters of roast chicken and sauteed squid with lemon.

I made a hairy dog cake for my beloved Dad because I wanted to make him something both special and hilarious. The cake itself was a green tea cake with matcha green tea syrup and vanilla creamcheese frosting! I also gave my dog cake a moustache... growing up throughout the 1980s and 1990s my dad ALWAYS had a thick black moustache. I still think he has one, even though it's long been shaved away! That's my Dad pictured above with our growing family... my sisters keep on pumpin' those kids out! ^_^

Happy Birthday Dad... I love you more than words or a blog or even a hairy dog cake with a curly moustache could ever say!

Love Lyndsay

I have very kind and cool Coco Cake customers and I am lucky for this! I made cute little balloon-themed cupcakes for little Aaro's birthday, in Brown Velour flavour. Happy Birthday Aaro!
