In the past year, Kona Kakes Tropical Cake Bakery has become one of my favorite bakeries in San Diego, CA. My husband and I ordered a mango mousse cake and a couple of miniature strawberry guava cakes for our civil wedding on 09/28/2022 after a word-of-mouth recommendation from a family member. After tasting the cakes, we fell in love with their flavors and knew we had to contract Kona Kakes again to make our 3-tier cake for our church wedding on 09/30/2023.

Janice was amazing to work with. She is genuinely a nice person, always happy to see us throughout the year, and very passionate about the cakes she makes. For the church wedding, she made a 3-tier cake, each layer with our top 3 flavors: strawberry guava, mango mousse, and chocolate macadamia. We specifically asked her to keep the cake's design with the traditional frosting piping seen in their Hawaiian cakes and decorate it with palm leaves and plumerias to match our reception's decorations at the San Diego Natural History Museum. The 3-tier cake tasted and looked amazing, with many of our guests approaching us to inquire if we bought our cake, as they wanted to order some for their future events.

My husband and I look forward to ordering more cakes from Janice and Kona Kakes in the future, such as for our wedding anniversary next year ;-)

We had several cake tastings at different bakeries and let me just say that nobody compared to Kona Kakes Tropical Bakery! Their homemade from scratch ingredients and authentic tropical flavors are absolutely mouthwatering and delicious. We purchased their signature butter cake whipped cream macadamia nut caramel wedding cake in a two tier format and all our guests loved it! The freshness and quality can't be beat. If you want a cake that stands out from the rest, I highly recommend Kona Kakes!

Their cakes are to die for! The combination of ingredients was unique and all the guests really enjoyed the taste and beauty of Janice’s artwork! They were very accommodating and on top of things via email. When my now husband went to pay for the cake, they rewarded him w a free cake!
