Kristine's Under-the-Sea Wedding Cake

Here is Kristine's vibrant, fun under-the-sea bridal cake to Jason's Seattle Seahawks groom's cake. With the sparkling Pacific ocean as a backdrop for Kristine and Jason's wedding at the historical Moana Surfrider Resort in Waikiki, their ocean themed cake with handcrafted angel fish, clown fish, and seahorses looked right at home. The inside of their wedding cake was as colorful as the views under water. They chose our signature Rainbowlicious flavor and Banana Nutella to serve their guests. Between this brightly colored wedding cake and Jason's sculptural groom's cake, we're guessing they scored a Touchdown! with their guests.

Under the Sea

We regularly receive requests for the "Under the Sea" theme cake. One such request came from our clients Rae and Keith, both scuba instructors, who wanted to honor their professions at their October wedding by having a beautiful underwater scene on their wedding cake. Their wedding took place at the beach, naturally, and they wanted to have their cake near the beach rather than at the reception which would later take place at a nearby hotel. Rick hand sculpted all the marine life shown on the cake and also made two custom scuba tank cake toppers with Rae and Keith's names shown nestled amidst the colorful marine scene. To keep the cake as vibrant and colorful on the inside as it was on the outside, the couple chose our ever-popular signature Rainbowlicious flavor to serve their guests. Thank you to Rae and Keith for including us in their special day!

Any time we receive images from photographer Dave Miyamoto, it always makes us smile. Dave's talent of perfectly capturing the sentiment and spirit of the couple on their special day as well as all the unique details of the wedding, makes him one of our favorite photographers to work with. Not to mention, he and his fiancee Michelle are two of the nicest, most down-to-earth people around, and they are great new bloggers too! One of my favorite aspects of any wedding is of course, the details, and when the details of the wedding merge so beautifully as they did for Catherine and Romel's wedding on August 8, 2008 (8-8-8), they just beg to be showcased. Cat & Romel chose Tiffany Blue and White with bright tropical accents for their color palette and an ocean theme. Their list of vendors included some of Hawaii's best:

Location: Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa
Photography: Dave Miyamoto & Company
Wedding Coordinator: Aubrey Akana-Figueira, Savoir Faire
DJ: Dynamic Sounds
Wedding Cake: cakelava

Dave Miyamoto also sent us, as an added bonus, some photos from Cat & Romel's engagement session. How could we resist not posting these beauties?
