Hey everyone thanks for your continued support with my business. I will be moving off island soon and will be coming back in a couple years so I am no longer taking orders. See you in 2013!!

FRESH FLAVOR OF THE DAY

Lavender Lemon Cupcakes with lavender-color vanilla buttercream frosting.

Jessica and Mark's Waimanalo Wedding

160 POG cupcakes (passion-orange-guava) with guava filling and vanilla buttercream.

A small cake for them to cut, same flavor as the cupcakes with yellow vanilla buttercream frosting and white buttercream roses.

UPDATE!

guava and lilikoi!

I had a tasting with one of James' coworkers (Jessica) and her fiancee (Mark), and they wanted to try guava and lilikoi, so I made those to take to fresh cafe too!

They liked both flavors, but we came up with a great idea... POG cupcakes (for those of you who do not live on the island/know about POG-- it means passion orange guava, and it is usually a juice), how AMAZING does that sound? Filled with guava jelly or lilikoi sauce? YESSS.

So you will be seeing those in the near future. But I was loving the colors of batter and cupcakes, so here you go!

(all with vanilla buttercream)

Kealoha's baby's 1st luau!

Kealoha is a girl that I met while working at Down to Earth in Kailua. Her baby was turning one, and she asked me to make her vegan cupcakes and a cake for her birthday. The party was at Waimanalo beach park, and it was such a perfect day.

She wanted them to look like waves and the ocean. And she wanted to have the cake look like flowers floating on top the ocean.

The cupcakes and cake were all chocolate filled with haupia.

The cupcakes had a swirl of vanilla buttercream and the cake had a layer of vanilla buttercream, and the flowers were coconut flavored.

AMY AND JESSE'S amazing carnival wedding!!

The cutest couple in the world also happen to be two of my favorite people. They tied the knot last weekend, and had the most amazing wedding of all time. It was complete with dancing down the aisle, carnival games and food (ring toss, darts, coin toss, corn dogs, cotton candy, popcorn etc..)

And they had me make their wedding cake (cupcakes)!! 150 cupcakes total. 3 flavors. Chocolate chunk, carrot cake, and lychee-hoo!! All with vanilla buttercream. And they wanted a special little cake just for the two of them to cut and feed each other (shove in each other's faces). Their cake was a two layer carrot cake covered in vanilla fondant.

It was a great day, and I am so happy for them!!

Local Kine Cake Grinds

Last night I had a craving for some poi..

So I made poi cupcakes, filled them with haupia, vanilla buttercream, and put some starfruit on top.

They are delicious.

The poi made the cake a little dense, but other than that they were good. :)

Bridal Shower Princess Cake

For Amy's bridal shower, I made her a princess cake. It is totally silly, and just for fun. :)

Tiffany cut Barbie's hair, and I colored it to look like our friend Amy's hair, and Kelli drew tattoos on her.


The actual cake is a five layer cake, with alternating strawberry and chocolate layers and vanilla buttercream frosting.
