A Cake Life

detail and the quality was top tier. The cake’s elegant and intricate designs added a touch of sophistication to my wedding and was exactly as we discussed and what I envisioned. My guests couldn’t stop talking about the taste, and many commented on how it was the best red velvet cake they had ever had! I highly recommend their business for your special day.

l seriously order a small cake of this flavor next time I’m in Oahu so I can eat it again.

everything to our exact expectations and everything was so yummy! We went with their Amuse Bar to provide variety and it was a huge hit.

and the flavor was delicious! It was also such a unique (and well loved by us) flavor to offer and we got so many compliments. The design of the cake was so elegant and tropical, we loved everything about it. Definitely will order again for future events.

the design with the "aloha" sign pulled it all together and made for a beautiful, yet simple, display. A Cake Life was also very easy to work with and timely in responses as we first only had the one-tier cake, later added the sheet cakes, and later asked for delivery once i realized how insane our day was going to be (lesson learned, pay for cake delivery). I was planning a Hawaii wedding from South Dakota and could not have been more pleased with the service and assistance from A Cake Life. Thank you!

After carefully picking out the design & flavors of our cake & cupcake, I submitted an order request in October 2022. My then fiancé & I were out of state, & our parents kindly agreed to give her the moneys for the order on our behalf. I stated that the payment should be paid in full by the end of November 2022. Long story short - a slew of personal life events happened, & I was not notified that the payment was not received. My Aunt/Wedding Coordinator followed up in the beginning of January 2023. My cousins were meaning to add some surprises to my order as their wedding gift to us. However, Kristin was unfortunately snide in her replies. I understand that she never got the payment, but there was no form of follow up whatsoever until my Aunt inquired. I even sent an apology over the miscommunication, & she did not respond until we brought up payment again. After convincing Kristin to not increase the delivery fee (per website it’s $50), we finally paid the invoice in full. So, “thanks” Kristin for not only being rude and incapable of decent communication, but also ruining the surprise. It’s a shame knowing that you were so sweet & easy to work with in the beginning.Oh well, everyone was happy on our wedding day. For those of you reading my experience, I just want to clarify that I still recommend A Cake Life to cater your cake, cupcakes, & other sweets for your special event. However, I would not recommend doing business personally/directly with Kristin Kato.

ot it. However, if you're just looking for good dessert, then book through A Cake Life. The desserts were good, but working with them was so hard that I wouldn't recommend.

utiful and just what we wanted and our guests raved on how good the cakes tasted!

a delivery time. Otherwise was super easy to work with, payments were easy to make, and the cakes were gorgeous and delicious. Would totally recommend and use again!

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!

isappointed about was that we were told that all the delivery slots were booked on our wedding date (after inquiring about it almost 11 months before our wedding). After checking up every few months to see if there were any openings for delivery or if there was any other way they could help us, we had to downgrade to a 2 tier cake so that we could go and pick up our wedding cake ourselves. Luckily, our wedding cake made it safely in one piece to our wedding venue.

ated how Kristin would provided links or example photos of different desserts and cakes, which made things easier for us to plan from a distance for a destination wedding. She was very accommodating throughout the entire planning process and was is very detailed in all of her responses. The display and desserts were absolutely beautiful. Kristin and her team did an amazing job. Our favorite was our wedding cake that was guava with lilikoi filling! So delicious and stunning as well! I loved how she was able to coordinate with our florist for our wedding to match the florals/greenery on our wedding cake. turned out so beautiful! Not only was our cake delicious but all the dessert alongside it as well! Our wedding guests and party were also very satisfied with the desserts and loved that there was a variety of different options for them to choose from. I highly recommend having A Cake Life as one of your vendors for your wedding! You will not be disappointed!

erts during dinner, so they were still cold and fresh. We got the white cake with lilikoi filling and OH MY GOD it was incredible. The coconut cupcakes were amazing, I ate like 8 of them the next day haha. The kids loved the donuts, and everything from flavor to design was spot on.

hich 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 (=

d was designed so beautifully

opper. The whole cake was lilikoi. Let me tell you, best cake ever! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the cake and went back for seconds and even thirds! We barely had any leftovers. You definitely can't beat the quality and taste of the cake and a definite bonus is the customer service and support from Kristin and her team. Definitely recommend A Cake Life! The only recommendation I have due to COVID is that because our tasting was take-home samples, I think maybe following up with a phone would be a great way to connect with customers during the tasting process. If we had chosen multiple flavors or had more tiers, it might be overwhelming doing the tasting without immediate help and feedback!

raved at by our guests. Highly, highly recommend.

exactly what we wanted (semi-naked) and she stuck to our colour theme for the flowers. I would definitely recommend A Cake Life for your wedding!

cakes were the best! The wedding cake design was beautiful! The dessert bar was so cute! The desserts must have been good, because they were all gone and we had none left over by the end of the night. Thank You Kristin for being apart of our big day and making such delicious desserts!

ign was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend

e cake was very light. I’m pretty sure it was the best cake I have ever had. It was so good that we took the rest back to our hotel and ate it the next day with the family. In addition to the flavor, the presentation of the cake was beautiful.

gain) after the 1 year delay due to COVID-19. Everything from the design discussion, conceptual drawings to the actual delivery of the cake and the dessert bar was perfect. We had a flawless experience previous with my brother's wedding and this was no different. Frankly, we explored other options for our wedding in an attempt to be "different" from my brother's wedding, but after reviewing other options, A Cake Life still won out on a number of factors, but especially professionalism and flavors. The attention to detail was fantastic, delivery was flawless, and flavors delicious. A few tasting notes: 1. Strawberries N’ Cream (Yellow Butter Cake + Fresh Strawberry Cream) - this was light, fresh, and the strawberry chunks made it even better. 2. The Classic (Yellow Butter Cake + Lilikoi Cream) - also light and fresh, but the Lilikoi had a tarty tang that made it really memorable and Hawaiian 3. Chocolate Oreo (Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake + Cookies n Cream) - a tad bit sweeter, but was nice because the chocolate wasn't overpowering

on (although we know how busy she is!) The bento cake tasting was the move as we got to try all of the possibilities! We went with the Amuse bar and 3 tiered cake, and everything was beautiful and delicious. We got to have our dream beautiful, delicious cake!

em! We had the pleasure of meeting Kristin when she delivered my son's Minecraft cake and to be honest--I was so blown away from how awesome the cake turned out and that she personally delivered it. I was a bit star struck. LOL! Thank you for taking the time out of your incredibly busy day to deliver us the cake, Kristin! Both cakes she made for us were delicious. Our guests at the wedding kept raving about how delicious and wonderful the cupcakes were. We didn't get to do any taste testing before we went to Oahu and we have absolutely no regrets about going with A Cake Life. We follow their Instagram and can't wait until we go back to Oahu and get to have some more of their delicious desserts! Thank you again Kristin and team for everything!!

scribed and pictured it. Cupcakes were great too! 24 cupcakes with icing on top.

single cookie was broken - all the way to Boston! We are so happy with our cookie surprise from Oahu.

t so amazing all our guests were complimenting how amazing it looked ! Kristin was wonderful to work with too always prompt to email replies and was flexible in delivery... they were able to deliver the cake to the beach instead of the reception and we are so pleased with the extra effort they went through to make the bride happy!

We got to choose 5 flavors (or 6 I can’t remember) we were interested in trying for the bento. She followed up the same day we received the bento to see if we made our decisions. Even though they prefer to supply the flowers, they were open to using the flowers supplied by our florist (our florist contacted her personally to make sure it was okay and to schedule dropping them off a couple days before the wedding). The design ended up exactly how I wanted it to and looked beautiful! They also offer cake toppers! Plus everyone who ate the cake said it was delicious, which we also agreed! Just a heads up response via email can be delayed and take a couple days for a response, so if it’s important I would suggest you call!

ages 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!

ography]! Our wedding cake was a beautiful one tier coral buttercream cake, marble flavored, and decorated with tropical florals! It was a work of art & a joy to eat. To this day we wish we could've brought it back to California with us. We defiantly plan to order from them again to celebrate our 1 yr anniversary.

in the midst of these extenuating circumstances and global crisis. Poor judgement on their part, for a few hundred dollars they have tarnished their reputation.

t sure if it was possible but the team did an amazing job and we were extremely happy with our cake! :)

cake wastiful. It tasted just ok in my opinion (about the same quality as a Costco cake). Attitude of staff was constant with other one star reviews found on Google. Staff was not friendly and a bit awkward during our tasting. I would expect a little more joy and excitement when coming in and doing a cake testing for my wedding. However, the main reason for my complete dissatisfaction with this vendor is their payment policy. If you decide to go with A Cake Life, please make sure you read the contract carefully. Payment in full is due two weeks in advance. There is a $10 per day late fee. We made final payment, ten days prior to our wedding. Therefore we were charged an additional $40. The contract clearly states this fee however when I explained that we got caught up in wedding planning and asked if this could be waived, I received the same dry customer service and the owner said there was nothing she would do.

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!

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!

mended by a friend, and for good reason. Although we were planning this Honolulu wedding from out of state, Kristin made everything easy. From start to finish, everything was handled with ease, she was communicative, and we couldn't have asked for a better result on the day of. The cake and cookies were also DELICIOUS, and we got rave reviews. I highly recommend - and all the rave reviews here are absolutely no surprise! Thank you Kristin and team for all your beautiful and hard work!

idually and together. We also ordered 3 dozen mini cupcakes with the flavors of guava-guava, marble raspberry, and chocolate peanut butter. Although my husband and I did not get a chance to try the cupcakes, our guests absolutely loved them and were a hit with the kids! The cake was delivered on time, setup promptly, and was designed as planned. I would recommend A Cake Life for any cake or dessert needs, especially if you’re planning a destination wedding :).

t part: THEY WERE DELICIOUS !! We thought we had purchased too many desserts BUT :) they were all eaten :) they also did the wedding cake.... it was beautiful!!

o delivery on the wedding day, Kristin and her team were so accommodating and the entire process was so easy. Kristin worked with us to create exactly what we wanted and hands down, the best taking and beautiful cupcakes and wedding cake!

d then the Cake/Cupcakes were beautiful and delicious. From customer service, quality, and price you can't go wrong. Thank you Kristin for making our special day even better! =)

out of this world, but the pineapple coconut was by far the biggest hit! The cake is so moist and light. The flavors were not over powering, but not too subtle. Our cake was absolutely out of this world!!
