Baby Winnie The Pooh Giant Cupcake

Happy Birthday to Brayden on his very first birthday!
This is an oreo cake with vanilla buttercream shaped as a giant cupcake.
Brayden's mommy sent us a copy of his birthday invitations to give an idea of the color scheme and theme.  The order was originally just for a giant cupcake but when we seen Baby Winnie The Pooh we decided to throw in a handmade sugar Winnie the Pooh as well.  As Baby Winnie The Pooh seemed to be the highlight of the party.  The cake and decorations are made of fondant and everything is edible!



Cascading Singapore Orchids and Hula Lovers


We tend to have a lot of orders requesting cymbidium orchids but another popular orchid in Hawaii is singapore orchids.  And both of these are great for decorating a cake, you could have it cascading down as seen in this one or assembled in different areas (along side, top, bottom, etc.).  The couple provided the cake topper, which I fell in love with.  It is so cute and guess what it really wasn't a cake topper.  Instead it was a salt and pepper shaker that magnetically stook together!  For this cake I think it truly captured the essence of Hawaii and at the same time with simplicity.  This is a 2 tier square cake, classic yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling and coconut cake with chocolate ganache filling, covered in swiss meringue buttercream!

Congratulations to Robert and Julie!



Mario Themed Sugar Cookies!

Happy Birthday to Danny! These are Mario themed sugar cookies requested by a mother who decided to have these for her son's birthday party.  The mother decided to make her son a cake as a gift.  But I m sure he also got more than a cake! LoL. I was so excited to bake these cookies as my child has been asking me to make a Mario cake and when he saw these cookies when they were ready to be delivered he said, "Make me Mario cookies too!"  So like any other mother who has a soft spot for there child when they want some thing really bad, I decided to also bake another batch for my child and his school classmates.
I am so surprised how popular Mario and Luigi is now days.  As it brings back memories when I too loved Mario and Luigi, back in the Nintendo years.
Anyways, so we baked Mushroom cookies, mini Mario and Luigi cookies (some thing you would see on Mario and Luigi's hat) and star cookies.  Mama Mia!




Velvet Love, Lemon Twist & Chocolate Cupcake Tower

Congratulations to the Newly Weds!  This is a continuation post from our Vintage Diving Helmet Sugar Cookies.  The couple ordered close to 100 cuppycakes.  Velvet love with vanilla buttercream, chocolate with swiss meringue buttercream, and lemon twist with swiss meringue buttercream.  The client requested to go with our classic swirls rather than our signature swirl (which looks like swirled ice cream).  In the pictures our cuppycakes are displayed on our cupcake stand that is available for rent.  It's great for displaying your cuppycakes and cake bites.  You can also personalize the stand by adding flowers to the tiers or wrapping a satin ribbon around the tiers.  Feel free to contact us for more info on our rental stands.




Vintage Diving Helmet Sugar Cookies

We had a soon to be wed couple who requested a special order for vintage diving helmet cookies.
The bride's fiance is actually a commercial diver and that is why they wanted to go with this design for there wedding favors.  Below is a picture of the finished product of the sugar cookies. Packaged in cellophane baggies and sealed with a satin ribbon bow.
Not only did they order custom sugar cookies but they also ordered a bunch of cupcakes from us as well.  Check back on our blog to see a post on there cupcakes!

Ni Hao Kai Lan Cake And Cuppycakes

One of our returning customers requested a birthday cake for her soon to be 2yr old daughter, Mimi.  I love making her cakes because the client always comes up with the cutest themes for her daughters birthday and I always have fun designing the cake.  The cake is a guava flavored cake with cream cheese filling and designed to match the cuppycakes.  The cuppycakes were lilikoi with vanilla frosting swirls and topped with handmade sugar fortune cookies.  The color scheme for the party was pink so the mother wanted to go with pink swirls for the cuppycakes and she wanted the cake to match.  So I designed the cake with mini cherry blossoms wrapped around the sides of the cake with edible sugar lanterns and I can't forget Ni Hao Kai Lan and Rintoo.  Of course all of this is edible from the decor to the cake!
Happy Birthday Mimi!







Cymbidium Silk Flowers Cake

This cake was done for a couple from the South side of the Big Island.  The bride wanted to go with green cymbidium orchids.  I can't say this enough but green cymbidium orchids in Hawaii never seem to get old for weddings.  There exotic look and beauty compliments a wedding cake very well.  To help cut cost for the bride I offered her silk flowers that we had left in the bakery.  The cake is chocolate with chocolate ganache and velvet love with creamcheese filling.  Congratulations to Ashley and her husband...



Butterfly Cake for Savvy Mae

Hey everyone as I normally try to persistently post up our most recent cakes I must admit I haven't. So here is one of our past but technically recent cakes. A father placed an order for his daughter's first birthday. Which I think is adorable because normally you get the mothers planning and designing the child's birthday cake order.
The father wanted to go with a butterfly carved cake with pink, green and purple color accents. Oh and must I add in.. If you are looking to combine flavors, lilikoi cake and mango filling go GREAT together! I would have never known this if it wasn't for my client who chose these flavors. I have to admit it is one of my favorite combination to go with now. Again.. LILIKOI cake with MANGO filling. So ONO (hawaiian word for "delicious")!
Warm birthday wishes to Savvy Mae on your very first birthday!!!
