Coco Cake Round-Up!

I'm a bit behind on my postings of recent Coco Cake work so here is a selection of some recent cuteness! Enjoy! xo

Cute crayon cupcakes for Rebah's little cutie Mayah's arty crafty 2nd birthday party!

Brown Velour cupcakes, topped with fondant discs and mini fondant crayons!

Wiener time! Awesome 30th birthday cake order for Steve and Roy's birthday!
Craft art paper speech bubble I made!

Another view. Wienies!

Hee-larious order from Judy, to make a likeness of her husband in cupcake form for his birthday. I got to meet him too, yes he does look like his cupcake!! :)

Percy cake! Little Wyatt's birthday request, a Percy cake! Choo choo...

"Wy not?"

Still Hungry... After All... These Years... Oohh!

So original gangster, Coco Cake style, Mr.Hungry Old Caterpillar cupcake party train was in my life a few times in the past while. The first being... the adorable version I made for super duper cute baby Asher, ordered by his mom Tanya, pictured here with his big brother Kainen!

The next super exciting way this little guy slinked into my life again:

I was on the cover of the Food Section in the Vancouver Sun, our local newspaper, with the second ever Coco Cake Hungry Catepillar! Yahoo!! That's me in the purple dress! Actually that dress I had made out of some vintage 1960s fabric I inherited from my dad's mom, my grandma, who passed away in the 1990s. When my other grandma, my Poh-poh, (my mom's mom), saw this picture (she's 87 years old) she phoned me and said "you should've cut your hair! Your bangs are covering your whole face! Why didn't you get your bangs trimmed!" Haha. Sorry Poh-poh. Bowl Cut Bangs for life for L.K.Sung... Thanks Mia for including me in the article! :)

Below is a pretty major picture explosion. But it's kind of fun. It shows you the process of how a caterpillar gets from being just a bunch of cakes, to a lovingly arranged party platter ready to march off the table into Cupcake Land. This guy was made of coconut cupcakes and frosted with vanilla buttercream...

Hungry Caterpillar 3. Ready, set, go!

Phewf. That was a lot of pictures. You made it through! Hooray!

Until next time Coco Cake Land!

Polly & Lee's beautiful rosette themed wedding

Wedding bliss for Coco Cake... I just loved doing this pretty wedding for Polly & Lee. Sometimes you just wanna shower yourself in the romance and adorable-ness of flowers... how about rosette buttercream topped cupcakes? I love how the rosette topped cupcakes had a "Queen of Hearts" feel to them... While I frosted away, I just kept picturing the guards in the original cartoon version of Alice In Wonderland painting roses with dripping red paint to appease the Queen...

I also made a lovely, simple buttercream frosted vanilla cake for the bride and groom to cut into... triple layer, topped with red buttercream roses and a handmade Polly & Lee flag! I also made special little fondant wedding toppers as a gift to them!

The cupcakes were vanilla with vanilla buttercream, and dark chocolate with dark chocolate buttercream... all frosted in the rosette style. Happy Happy Matrimony Polly & Lee! Hope you had the best day ever!

How Now, Brown Cow?

A brown cow cake and matching mini cupcakes for little Carson's birthday! Cuteness! The cake is dark chocolate with vanilla buttercream and a dark chocolate ganache filling, covered in fondant.

The second photo is a little dark and foreboding, isn't it? Ahhh, natural light... sometimes in the early mornings of cake-making it's all dark contrasts! But then, cheerful Brownie the Cow says "hey, no need to fret! Just look at my cute facemOOOOOOOOOO"

Heh.

New Coco Cake Packaging Is Fun!

I get giddy when I see cute packaging. I must have inherited that from my sis Leanne, who is obsessive about cute packaging! With my recent re-design, everything else had to follow... except I couldn't bear to toss out my old business cards, so I will patiently wait until those run out until I make new ones... (but I secretly can't wait until I get to have new business cards, hooray!)

I think my new brown logo looks pretty darn cute, thanks to designer Jamie!!
