Scratch Cake vs. Cake Mix

For those who can’t remember what cakes made from scratch taste like, don’t worry; you’re in the majority. Today, most cakes are made from a mix. Cake mixes are a more consistent product. It’s certainly a safer way to bake especially if someone isn’t very experienced in the kitchen. Most of your larger food chains and bakeries like Sam’s, Costco, Walmart, etc. all use cake mixes. If their cakes are not shipped frozen, they order large sacks of cake mix to produce those beautiful cakes in the display cases. You can also purchase cake mix (Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, etc.) in local grocery stores. Although now a days it is easy and affordable to purchase cake mixes or already made "cake mix" cakes in stores, you should consider that there are preservatives and chemicals in these cake mixes.  Those who know what cake made from scratch taste like, definitely know that the two don't taste alike. A cake made from scratch usually tends to be filling and can be made with a variety of flavors and there is full control of quality of ingredients. We decided to make our cakes out of real ingredients such as local eggs, milk and sugar.  Sweets Galore does not make there cakes from cake mix but instead from scratch providing the best of ingredients available in Hawaii.

Hello Kitty

Here is a recent order I did for a little girl's birthday party.  It is a Hello Kitty carved out cake with about 65 cuppy cakes.  The cake is classic yellow with cream cheese filling and it serves about 15-20 depending on the sizes that are cut out to serve.  I enjoyed doing this order because everything came together with the cuppy cake design and cake.  The color of the yellow cake was perfect because it matched Hello Kitty's nose and the flowers on both the cuppy cakes and Hello Kitty's face matched. 
The family were such nice people and I was happy that they liked the cake :-)
Happy Birthday to their sweet 6 yr old!

New Flavors!

Here it is. . . Coconut flavored cake!  Made with the best of ingredients, again I like to make my cakes from scratch and I am not a fan of hydrogenated oils/ trans fats and corn syrup.  So if you are some what like me this is a winner, well at least I think it is.  You would have to try it to actually judge it.  Also what a better way to present to your guest a cake, a coconut flavored cake in our beautiful island we call paradise!

ATTENTION all chocolate lovers!  Chocolate Ganache is now available for cake filling.  The meaning of the French word ganache is "cushion," as the cream seems to "cushion" both the flavor and texture of chocolate.

Like I always promised..  I will keep you all posted on any new flavors, fillings, etc.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Good afternoon everyone!  I thought I would share with you a cake I designed for a church in Waikoloa.  This is a 4 tier round cake, vanilla with vanilla buttercream and covered in delicious fondant.  It has the whole Easter theme going on so what better way of saying Happy Easter and sharing a piece of cake.  The picture is not edible, I repeat it is not edible.  :-)
