Party at the Aquarium


We had a great weekend with some very fun cakes! Saturday's birthday party at the Waikiki Aquarium could not have had a cake that was a better match than this colorful under-the-sea cake. Our clients rented out the Waikiki Aquarium after hours and allowed their guests free reign on the exhibits, then continued the celebration with their delicious Strawberries Chantilly and Hot Fudge Sundae flavored cake. Everything on the cake was handcrafted by Rick and painted by hand, and had an unbelievable amount of detail. Rick went for a more realistic approach to this cake, making fish that would be instantly recognizable. The vibrant kelp and coral seabeds were delicate and lifelike and completely edible, as was the entire cake. The cake was designed to be enjoyed from any angle, including the back. It was a labor intensive design, but very much worth the time spent when we saw our client's reaction, as well as the guests who came over to admire the cake up close. Happy Birthday, Nicholas!


Aloha, 'til next time!

Pam's Turtle Birthday Cake


Pam's honu (Hawaiian sea turtle) birthday cake was extra special to us. Our client Susan who ordered it for her had explained how this trip to Hawaii had great meaning to Pam due to personal circumstances and she wanted Pam to have a very special birthday cake representing what Pam loves doing most -- being in the ocean, scuba diving. She explained to us her fondness for sea turtles and asked us to include a turtle or two in there. Rick decided to surprise Susan by placing a large sculpted turtle made to look like it was swimming on top of the cake. Here in Hawaii we're lucky to get to swim with the turtles, and because they are protected we see them on a regular basis around the island. They are beautiful creatures and it's a magical experience being in the water with them. Susan selected our Hot Fudge Sundae flavor for Pam's birthday cake. We want to wish Pam the happiest of birthdays and are touched she shared her special day with us!

Aloha, 'til next time!
