Wow, it has been some time since we blogged. So many things have been happening, besides being slammed busy for the holidays. Its amazing how busy we are. I am so thankful.
We relocated over Thanksgiving, we have been getting so many calls for cookie orders, especially after making over 2000 for Honolulu Magazine to give out to Ala Moana Mall.
We have been attending lots of events, one being for Kanu Hawaii, held at 87Zero, planned by Poi Planet. What a fun time. It was nice to meet new people and see old friends. And give out samples. It was also a pleasure to talk to some people who worked for The Ritz Carlton. One actually worked with my old chef. It is a small world.
We have made a lot of cakes since our last blog and all of them are wonderful cakes with great stories.
This was the beginning of our holiday season madness! November 1, 2009 Grace and Kevin's wedding was held at The Moana Surfrider Hotel in Waikiki.
They choose Katy with Katy Castillo Weddings to plan and set up the event, and L'Amour Photography for the photos.
When I met Grace and Kevin they knew they wanted a globe cake. After talking to them and learning what their vision was, we decided to design their cake with suitcases under the globe. One to represent Grace and where she has traveled too and one to represent Kevin and where he has traveled too. The globe was to be a representation of where in the world they have been, how their paths have crossed many times and then finally where they met and fell in love and how they made Hawaii the place where they would begin the next chapter of their lives together.
Kevin's suitcase was a little larger and more "beat up" looking. We hand painted stickers from around the world that he has travelled too.
Grace's suitcase was a little smaller and pretty. We again hand painted stickers from around the world she has been.
The stickers are made from modeling chocolate. We hand painted from certain sticker designs. These are not pre printed or edible paper.
We then placed the globe on top with the trail of their travels. We then placed a custom cake topper of the couple on top looking out into the world.
We had so much fun making this cake for such a wonderful couple.
We know they have some new opportunities in front of them that may take them travelling more and we wish them all the best of luck for a wonderful future.

Have a wonderful Holiday season!
