    A Cake Life is Awesome!
    If your looking for an awesome wedding cake(or any cake) on Oahu look no further! This place is perfect! Strawberry shortcake is on point!
    I live in California and searched around online for a place on Oahu, there are several but no one has Kristin! I was only in email contact and let me say she couldn't have done a better job if I supervised in person! Very professional and pays awesome attention to details! The cake was exactly what we wanted. We sent a photo with a few adjustments and they nailed it beautifully! The cake was exactly what the bride imagined and wanted! Everyone raved about how great it tasted it was absolutely perfect! Thank you Cake Life for making our wedding cake memories!

    Sugar Plumeria

    We wanted a simple but Hawaiian style cake for after our small beach wedding ceremony. A Cake Life had exactly what we wanted. Kristin Kato made ordering easy. And the cake not only looked fabulous, it was super yummy! I personalized it with "Ti Amo!" Italian for I love you, an added touch my husband loved!

    Beautiful and delicious!

    This place is EVERYTHING! They were super accommodating. They worked diligently to ensure that my expectations were able to be accommodated. I sent them an inspiration picture and they nailed it. Out bottom layer was coconut, pineapple and buttercream; it was tropical and not too sweet.

    We decided to go with cookies n cream for our top layer because we froze it for our anniversary. It was packaged well and we traveled from Honolulu to Illinois without damaging the cake.

    They also provided the flower for the top of the cake.

    Dessert Bar was a hit

    We opted for a dessert bar for our wedding and it was a huge hit. All the desserts were delicious and they looked incredible. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. The staff was really helpful when selecting what all we wanted. Great experience

    Wedding in 2022

    With the last minute planning of rescheduling my wedding from 2021, they were able to accommodate us with a simple yet elegant wedding cake. We loved the taste & look of everything.

    Absolutely Delicious

    We're so happy to have A Cake Life be part of our special day! We were able to have a cake sampler bento box to try before deciding on our wedding cake flavor, and it was so hard because they all were so delicious! They have a wonderful dessert table package which all our guests loved. I highly recommend A Cake Life!

    Beautiful and delicious!

    The entire process from beginning to end was so easy. Kristin responded quickly to my email and we were able to set up a pick-up date for her sample box! It was so hard to choose which flavor we wanted (they were all SO YUMMY) but you can pick different flavors for each tier which I was happy to hear! In the end, we decided to go with guava and lilikoi. We opted for a pretty simple design and just had our florist add on the cascade of flowers and our cake topper. It turned out so beautiful and I couldn't be happier about it!

    We saved the top tier for us to eat on our 1 year anniversary, I can hardly wait to eat it again (=

    Amazing Talent

    From start to finish, I’m so glad I chose the dessert table. It was a huge hit and all of the guests were able to eat it. Thanks so much for making our day that much sweeter.

    Delicious, Creative, & Great Customer Service

    I highly recommend A Cake Life for your wedding or event! We had a destination wedding on Oahu and despite living in a different time zone, Kristin was easy to communicate with and made the entire process seamless. Her creativity and artistry are unmatched. She created a beautiful custom design for our wedding cake in our wedding color palette and set up an amazing dessert bar display of assorted items, such as monogram macarons and cupcakes with flower petal icing. We were even able to rent some beautiful rental pieces from A Cake Life to complete the display. Everything looked stunning and tasted delicious. Thank you so much A Cake Life for your beautiful designs and the excellent customer experience! (Photos by Mary Costa Photography)

    Wedding Cake and Dessert Bar---Take us back!

    We had A Cake Life for our wedding cake and desserts. Truly, unbelievable! Not your typical stale wedding cake, the cake was fresh and all baked goods we had for the wedding dessert bar were raved at by our guests. Highly, highly recommend.

    Most Delicious Wedding Cake

    Super delicious wedding cake and cupcake for my wedding! We were able to pick 2 flavors, guava for the top tier and strawberry cream for the second tier. Decor was exactly how I described and pictured it. Cupcakes were great too! 24 cupcakes with icing on top.

    Perfection

    Our cake was so beautiful and tasted incredible. They were so easy to work with as we were planning from the mainland. They made the process so easy and even opened their doors to us to pickup our cake on a Monday (as they’re typically closed) since that was the day of our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for better customer service. Our cake was perfect and I can’t recommend them enough!

    Delicious Desserts for Everyone!

    We were fortunate enough to have our wedding prior to this pandemic and were so grateful to have A Cake Life serve our wedding cake and desserts! We chose one of their dessert packages to accommodate all of our guests. We enjoyed meeting with Kristin prior to our big day to do a tasting and see what design options were possible. Honestly, they can do almost anything you can dream of! Kristin drew us up a design on the spot and made it come to life on our wedding day! Everything was delicious and looked great at our venue! We only wish we would have had more or leftovers to take home and enjoy again after! We have since ordered other cakes and desserts from A Cake Life for other birthdays and holidays to help us celebrate and have been pleased with all of our orders. If you are looking for something fun to do during the shutdown, they do offer cute cookie decorating kits that are fun for everyone!

    Exactly as we expected! Tastes amazing!

    Kristin was very easy to communicate, created exactly what we had envisioned and it was so delicious! We were not able to do a taste test until our wedding day since this was a destination wedding, but the flavours and how the cake looked was beyond perfect! All of our guests loved it! Thank you Kristin!

    Amazing and delicious!

    Kristin was amazing! I was so busy during the wedding day that I didn’t get a chance to see the dessert table until the reception when everyone else saw it and I was blown away! It was everything I imagined and more! Kristin is very quick to respond and answer any questions you may have, and I had a lot considering this was a destination wedding for me! What about the taste? Oh my god phenomenal!

    Our cake was a piece of art! And delicious too!

    Kristin from A Cake Life was the best! We did a destination wedding in Hawaii and didn't taste a thing prior to ordering, but ordered a coconut cake with guava cream frosting and it was outstanding, everyone loved it. We did a small decorated cake for ourselves and the cake cutting and then ordered a large, pre-cut sheet cake for our guests. We had a fishy theme so I asked her to create edible triggerfish cake toppers. I sent her some artistic pictures of what I had in mind. It was a masterpiece!!! She had crafted them, complete with scales and vibrant colors. Kristin and her staff are artists. If the cake wasn't so delicious I would have had a hard time wanting to eat their beautiful creation. We ate the leftovers poolside the next morning. Highly recommend A Cake Life for any event!

    The best lilikoi cake ever

    THE BEST TASTING CAKE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! Not exaggerating!! We ordered strawberry shortcake and lilikoi and I can't stop thinking about that cake! I'm not ordering cakes through anyone else except A CAKE LIFE!!! I have birthdays coming up and we're definitely going to be ordering the lilikoi cake again! That was our absolute favorite!

    I also gave Kristin creative control over the cake for my wedding! I loved the semi naked look with blush drizzle! Completely perfect!

    Did not want a complicated cake and they made it easy.

    A Cake Life made a three tier cake for our July wedding and it was great to work with them. They knew the venue and wedding planner well, were extremely fast to respond to emails and questions, understood what we wanted for a simple design and made a cake that looked and tasted great on the day.

    If I could do it again, I might have just asked for slightly less icing on the outside of the cake, it came it at nearly 2 inches thick and most people had to scrape a bit off. I wasn’t able to do a tasting with the company as I don’t live on the island so I can’t fault the company for this, I’m sure if I had asked for it they would have happily accommodated.

    Gorgeous AND delicious!

    Planning a wedding remotely from Australia was a challenge within itself but choosing A Cake Life for our cake vendor (referred by Luana Events) was a fantastic decision. Our cake was simple as requested, SO delicious I wish we could have taken it all home to enjoy after the wedding. After following A Cake Life on Instagram we saw what incredible work they're capable of and decided to order these ADORABLE pineapple cookies to add to the welcome kits made for our wedding guests. It was easy to correspond, pay and pick up the cookies and have the wedding cake and topper delivered without a hitch! We would 150% recommend A Cake Life to anyone needing a professional, delicious and reasonably priced wedding cake. Thank you A Cake Life for contributing to our special day!

    Dream Team

    I love a A Cake Life! Not only do I love their desserts, but I loved their team. I'm not a huge dessert person, but I knew my guests were so I needed to find the best dessert team available. They came highly recommended and now I know why. Not only are their desserts delicious, but their designs are amazing. Take a look at their instagram and you can see the craftsmanship. As someone who is not a dessert person, but loves artistry, I just knew i would get the perfect dessert bar.

    I decided to go unconventional and created a Harry Potter-themed wedding bar. I helped supply some of the decor and they delivered on the designed desserts. Everything looked amazing. My guests got amazing desserts and I got a beautiful display. It's probably the most memorable moments of my wedding and the one that I'm most proud of because out of all the basic wedding shenanigans, the dessert bar really showed who my husband and i were as characters. Thank you A Cake Life! And thank you Kristin for coming to our wedding to help set up. This lady had surgery the day of my wedding and she still made it to make sure the design turned out flawless. Talk about dedication and love for her job!

    Best Dessert Caterer!

    For my husband and I, it was not about the look of the cake or the layout of the dessert spread. It was about how great everything tasted. We decided to go with A Cake Life because they had nothing but great reviews. Mind you, we were going in blindly at first because our wedding was a destination wedding.

    About a year from our wedding (we were in Hawaii for a wedding anyway), we booked a tasting with ACL through their website and we chose about 6 of their signature flavors to try. The worst part was narrowing down the flavors to what we wanted because each flavor tasted so good! They weren’t too sweet or too heavy either! Kristin also designed the cake based on what our vision was—as we were talking she was already drawing and coloring. She also designed the layout for the dessert spread right then and there also.

    We went with a MIDI Dessert Table: a 2-tier cake, cupcakes, mango crème brulees, cake shooters, donuts, and macarons. Everyone could not stop talking about the dessert! ESPECIALLY the macarons! They were the best macarons we’ve ever had!

    We loved that ACL was within our budget and that they were flexible. When they came out with the mango crème brulees, we e-mailed them right away if we could do a swap out of something and they were able to accommodate. They are very responsive by e-mail also.

    We loved working with ACL and we would highly recommend them for anyone looking for great tasting desserts and cake that work with your budget!

    3 tiered naked cake

    We did a destination wedding so we were unable to do a taste-test, but A Cake Life was among the recommendations from our wedding coordinators. We ordered the strawberries and cream and lolikoi cake for our wedding of 122 guests. It was a very beautiful naked cake consisting of 3 tiers. We didn’t get to try the lolikoi cake, but the strawberries and cream cake was light and good. Not the greatest cake I have tasted, definitely not memorable, but it was fine.
