MATCHING DRESS CAKE AND BOUQUET

ALOHA!

I had the pleasure to work with such a wonderful couple not to long ago. They traveled from the mainland to have their wedding on the beach here in Hawaii. Even though it was only the 2 of them they still wanted a small cake. Our bride wanted to have a cake to match her dress and her flowers. So we made a hourglass shaped cake and wrapped the fabric around the cake and matched the fabric flower. We made a sugar flower bouquet for the top of her to match, with orchids, roses and small cherry blossom flowers.

She sent us am email when they returned home to let us know they loved their cake and joked how they would eat it all.

This cake had 2 different flavors since they both like something different. Just one way we try to customize our cakes.

HOMER AND THE LITTLE PINK DOUGHNUT

Aloha!

I am glad to be back from vacation and baking again. I am also excited to share these photos with you of a wedding we did before vacation. Our bride wanted a 2 tier hexagon shaped cake with beautiful hand made purple orchids. She also wanted to surprise her groom with a grooms cake of Homer Simpson holding a beer. We were totally stoked to make this cake. We even added a little pink doughnut with a bite out of it. When we arrived at the hotel one of the staff actually thought someone took a bite of it. It was funny. I love how Christie Pham photographed the couples rings on the doughnut. Super cute and unique.
We wish our couple a happy marriage with lots of love.

AVA'S FAIRY GARDEN BIRTHDAY

ALOHA!

We were so excited when Miriam contacted us again for Ava's 2nd birthday. We met Miriam, Nathan and Ava last year when we were contacted to make her 1st birthday cake which was a candlyland theme!

Miriam wanted a fairy garden theme with a cake and cupcakes. She sent me her invitation to base the design and colors from. I was super excited to make Ava's cake again. We love when our clients come back often for cake because we love to watch families grow.

Ava's party was set for February 27th. As many of you may know this date well, this was tsunami Saturday. We have 3 other events this day in the morning. Ava's party was the only one in the evening. As we waited and waited all day we got the word at about 3 pm that Ava's party was still going to happen. Miriam and her family had to evacuate their home on the North Shore and we were so happy when she called to let us know everything was a go. The only event to go on this day for us.

When we arrived at her home she had this beautiful set up for the cakes. Its a no wonder Miriam likes to plan parties. She is very good at decorating. I was so excited to set up the cake and cupcakes. Miriam was so surprised that we took the exact fairy from her invitation and put it on her cake.

I was so honored to make Ava's cake again. And we look forward to her 3rd birthday!

A GARDEN BIRTHDAY

Aloha!

I want to continue with an event we had this past weekend. One that was not on Tsunami Saturday but on Sunday Morning.

Bella Rae's 1st birthday. I met her Mom a few months back. Her and her mother in law were in charge of planning the party but more important the cake!

I fell in love with both of them when we met. They were so funny together and you could tell got along very well and made lots of compromises with each other.

We designed a 2 tier Topsy turvy cake with a Terra Cotta flower pot on top. The flower pot was designed from pictures they would take with Bella Rae. Every month they got her picture taken with different flowers or flowers pots. They are really adorable photos.

We also added an element from Vanessa's wedding. In her flowers when she got out of the church 2 monarch butterflies were sitting in her bouquet. Everyone thought this was magical and special and they wanted to incorporate that butterfly element. So I hand painted a monarch butterfly for the center, top on the flower pot. Also inside were Gerber daisies, orchids and other smaller flowers.

The cake came out super cute and when we arrived Vanessa so was so excited for it! She loved it.

They also choose, Red Velvet, Lemon Raspberry and Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch flavors.

We wish Bella Rae a Happy 1st Birthday and Can not wait for her 2nd!!

This picture does not do this cake justice. It was big and had lots of colors, and bees flying out the cake, ladybugs and all kinds of flowers!

NOAH'S ARK!

Aloha!!
As you all know this past Saturday is being called Tsunami Saturday. And what a day it was. Most people woke up to the sound of The Civil Defense Sirens, but not us. We actually were working on this Noah's Ark cake when we heard the news of the tsunami threat to the Hawaiian Islands. This was at 1am on Saturday Morning. My first thought when hearing all this news was,"oh no what about my events?" I know I should have been thinking about higher ground, supplies and all that but really my first thought was all the events we had and their cakes. What were we going to do? Being 3 am now i decided to get our supplies and things together but was determined to find a way to get our cakes to our clients. But unfortunately with police closing streets and hotels and business closing there was not much we could.

Our first event of the day was in Waikiki and I talked Lynn and she had told me the hotel had to cancel her party. We had a the cutes Noah's Ark cake that matched her centerpieces and 100 yummy cupcakes!

After all was said and done we were able to deliver her cake to her home so she and her family could as least enjoy the birthday cake.
Isaac and Ivan are 2 lucky little boys! They had the whole cake for themselves for their first birthday!!
We are looking forward to the rescheduled party in the near future but for now you can enjoy this cake and all the little animals on it!

Check back this week for more of our Tsunami Cakes!
