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!

Kelli-Lou, Happy Birthday To You!






It's a true joy in my Coco Cakey heart when I get to make some special delights for the wonderful people in my life! Kelli-Lou is the awesome mom to my dear friend Sharon and her two sisters Kim and Jillian... the three of 'em are ahhhdorable in every way and they remind me of me and my two sisters and how much we love each other and like hanging out while still getting annoyed with each other sometimes but we're sisters so that's that.

Kelli hit the big 'n beautiful 60 this past weekend and Sharon asked me to make some pretty floral cupcakes for her mum! I also found this awesome vintage wrapping paper in the bottom of my craft paper box (I forgot I bought it off Ebay a few years ago when I had what I like to call my "Ebay problem") so I made some darn-tootin'-cute flags out of it! Sharon and her lovely sisters are all vegan, so the cupcakes were deliciously vegan! Egg and dairy free! I made vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream in two styles: yellow roses and pink rosettes!

I was told there was a wicked young people vs. older people Charades game played at the party, as well as birthday cheer, laughs galore and plenty of glasses of wine down the hatch! Sounds like a truly fun birthday bash.

Happy happy birthday dear Kelli!
