I was so excited to be taking part in this super fun Vintage Christmas Cake collaboration on Instagram hosted by the sweet and talented Staci @stacibakesalot  Be sure to check out all the amazing bakes from everyone #vintagechristmascakecollab When I think of Vintage Christmas, I always think of a cute red car with a Christmas tree on top. This collaboration gave me the opportunity to create something I've never tried.   I'm so happy with how the cake come together.  Boy, was it challenging trying to create what I imagined and put it into cake form. This cute Vintage Christmas Cake is made of a moist coconut cake with smooth Swiss meringue buttercream in between each layer.  The design is piped using more delicious Swiss meringue buttercream and finally decorated with some sprinkles.

I recently did another fun collaboration with my sweet friend Tiffani @tiffani_triedandtested over on Instragram. The theme for this collab was ice-cream.  So, I decided to make Ice-cream Cakesicles so I could try out my new ice-cream moulds and also try out some products that the lovely team at @queenfinefoods sent me. These Ice-cream cakesicles are made with delicious coconut cake & are covered in white chocolate.  The ice-cream drip is decorated with pretty sugar strand sprinkles.  The eyes, mouth and cheeks are drawn on with writing icing. I hope you get a chance to make these cute cakesicles.

In this recent Pattern collaboration on Instagram, I was inspired by a gorgeous Art Deco design by Tiffany & Co. When I saw this design in their Blue Book 2014, I was in love with the beauty of the bracelet made of diamonds and sapphires.  The architectural circles showcased the sapphires beautifully. I decided to re-create the circle design on my cake.  This proved to be more difficult than I first thought.  With my limited cake decorating skills, I decided to used royal icing to create the circle design around the cake. This Coconut Cake is simply delicious with a hint of desiccated coconut through out the cake layers.  There is also a surprise creamy custard in between each layer of cake as well.  It's covered in a sweet American buttercream.
