Coco Cake Land
My cakes are inspired by vintage children's books, 1960s baking and pastry books, modern design sensibilities, supercute illustration and old-school buttercream piping techniques!

Behind the scenes of SALAD CAKE! Crispy lettuce alert! ๐ฅฌ๐ฅ๐ฐ
I painted edible wafer paper with gel food colour mixed with vodka, then placed in oven on a low temperature for about thirty minutes to dry. Love that crispy snap!๐ซฐ
It also held up surprisingly well (on a ferry then a bumpy winding Sunshine Coast BC road ๐) and was still fairly crisp 24 hours later!
Coconut jelly eggs and full salad cake post is on my blog ๐(live journal old school alert)

๐ฅSalad cake!!! Inspired by seeing .nguyen make a gorgeous one on ๐ฅฐ!! Happy birthday to my wonderful mother-in-law Beth! ๐๐
๐ฅPainted edible wafer paper crispy leaves, coconut jelly eggs, little chocolate chip cookie square croutons and red gumdrops! My original plan for tomatoes and croutons (painted cake pops) fell through (aka they turned out horribly ๐) so I pivoted!! ๐
๐ฐ Vanilla cake with earl grey milk tea soak, strawberry jam and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream!!
๐Many of you fine folks know Iโm working on a rom com novel - follow along at - but I had a realization after making this salad cake. ๐For a while there I thought I was going to QUIT cakes and just write fiction from now on. Turns out I just needed a looooong break after some serious cake burn-out, and I still love cakes ๐๐ฅฐ
