Cake Works

When planning our February 2020 wedding, we knew we wanted something different from the traditional tiered wedding cake. Our wedding planner Laura from Parasol Events arranged with Cake Works to create a unique macaron tower centerpiece for our wedding. Cake Works not only worked quickly and affordably, but made it a streamlined process to help us create unique flavor and color combinations to match our wedding theme and stun our guests. Going with Cake Works is a better bang-for-your-buck option than just having a hotel or venue cater your wedding cake.

Excellent cake and exactly what we dreamed of The team at Cake Works was great to work with. We were helped by Deanna who was professional, quick to respond, and very organized. We reached out for a tasting in October of 2019 for a wedding of 170 in January 2020 and they accommodated us easily and weren't pushy about the sale. We wanted traditional cakes that were delicious but not froufrou and are very happy we went with Cake Works. They were the first and only cake tasting we did and only have the best to say. We ordered a three tier cake with alternating layers of Chocolate Raspberry Decadence and funfetti along with two half sheets of each. We were very happy with the cakes and everyone commented on how good they were. We would highly recommend them for any event you're planning.

CakeWorks made my dream cake come true! I sent them photos I found from pinterest. They were so accommodating and answered all my questions promptly! They also let me sample 7 cake flavors a few days before the wedding and switch the flavors the week of the wedding. Everyone also loved the Red velvet and Lilikoi flavors! I highly recommend them. Mahalo!

We got our cakes from Cake Works. Order a 2 tiered raspberry chocolate cake with butter cream frosting and a lilikoi sheet cake for extra cake to share with guests. They delivered the cake on time, and it was tasty. Cake works was easy to work with, had many different flavors to suit anyone's tastes. Definitely recommend Cake works.

We loved our wedding cake! Communication during prep time was awesome and every little change was easily accepted along the way. The cake was stunning and tasted as good as it looked! So happy with our choice to go with Cake Works! Everyone at the wedding raved about how beautiful and delicious our cake was! Mahalo!

Cake was amazing! Looked exactly how I wanted it and tasted even better. Thank you so much

Our cake was beautiful! We had looked at photographs of wedding cakes online and showed them what we wanted. It was a 2-tier white and blue watercolor cake and it came out perfectly. We had lilikoi on the top and banana on the bottom- we knew the flavors were delicious as we selected them after having a tasting.

Unfortunately we never got to order from Cake Works. We were planning on ordering our wedding cake from here because we heard so many good things about this place. I tried calling multiple times, and no one ever answered. I contacted them through their website and the reply was dry and didn't provide any information at all! It was as if they didn't seem to be interested and at all excited to be helping me choose a cake for our wedding. I constantly and quite desperately would ask multiple questions in reply to get more info, but I would get one word answers as if they were cutting the conversation off, and they didn't answer all of my questions. We brushed them off and decided we weren't going to chase them for their service.

Delicious cake and reasonable prices. Cake Works was great to work with and designed the perfect cake for our wedding!

Cake Works was delicious! We got their mini cupcakes and our guest LOVED them! They were so good that there were none left and my husband and I didn’t even get any! We still hve guests asking where we got them from! The staff was friendly and helpful, they helped us with flavor suggestions, let us do a tasting, and we’re always quick to answer our questions! I definitely recommend them for your cupcake and cake needs!

Literally the best cake I’ve ever had! Our wedding guests are till talking about the lilikoi and haupia flavors. Awesome service! Cake works make my wedding cake exactly how I dreamed and it was delicious! Thank you thank you!!!

We planned our destination May 2018 wedding at Loulu Palm from abroad (UK and New Zealand). Planning a wedding from abroad, we made plans and vendor decisions based on reviews. We were pleased to find Cake Works! They were lovely to work with. The bakery was responsive to emails and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed meeting with Abigail on our visit to Honolulu in November 2017 for a consultation and cake tasting. She provided recommendations to bring our vision to life while working within our budget. At the cake trial we sat with Abigail and tried approximately 7 flavor combinations, as we discussed the cake design utilizing our pinterest board. On our wedding day, we were presented with a cake that was exactly as planned. The cake tasted wonderful too, all three layers!

Cake Works is amazing! The cake we ordered for our wedding was beautiful, delivered on time with no issue, and most importantly everybody loved it! Love Cake Works!! And thank you Chef Abi!

Our cake was simply wonderful. It looked exactly how we wanted it and tasted amazing. Koree was beyond helpful. Thank you so much Cake Works!

Cake Works was easy to work with despite living in Minnesota. They let us do a cake tasting 4 days before our wedding and the cake was just fantastic (we picked the lilikoi flavor). Amazing cakes and even better service!

I hate to be the bride who leaves a bad review but I have to be honest! I had the most perfect wedding and the only thing wrong was the cake. It looked beautiful! 5 stars on looks alone if thats all you care about. But it was the most dry, flavorless cake I've ever had. Which is a huge deal for me because I loveeee sweets and it killed me to see the cake sitting on all the tables uneaten! I could just tell that none of the guests liked it and I took one bite and felt the same. Not only that but they mixed up the flavors on the cake tiers, so my guests ended up getting the special flavor I picked for the groom and I to have as the top tier. This was extra upsetting because I clarified this with Koree extensively via back-and-forth email about how if I couldn't have red velvet on the top then I didn't want a top tier. I know not everyone even likes red velvet which is why I didn't chose it for my guests. Too bad because it was a beautiful cake, I just wish it had tasted like it.

Cake Works did a great job,,,they delivered just what my daughter ordered for her wedding.

We were absolutely satisfied with the customer service and our wedding cake was very beautiful. Thank you so much Cakeworks!

Cake Works did an amazing job! My wife and I decided to go with a simple yet elegant cake for our wedding. It was a two tiered cake with cherry blossoms wrapping up and around the cake. The detail on the cherry blossoms was exquisite, yet simple enough that it wasn't over the top. They delivered exactly what we wanted. In addition, the delivered the cake to our venue with out any hassles. As well, we had Cake Works provide macaroons and mini cupcakes. All of our guests raved about how good these were. If you are looking for a vendor that can supply everything from simple and elegant to extreme and glamorous, Cake Works can deliver and then some!

Cake works did an amazing job. They went above and beyond for our Baby's Gender Reveal cake. All the staff was extremely friendly, professional, and very detailed. The cake was more beautiful than I imagine and it was absolutely delicious!

I love cupcakes & macaroons from CakeWorks and they don't disappoint when it comes to making custom made cakes! We ordered one for a Bridal shower with an adorable bunny, couldn't be happier. Thank you!

I have always loved Cake Works cakes! Until recently I never realized what amazing artists they are! They created the most beautiful cake for our occasion -that was so delicious. I'm still testing all of their flavors-so far I love them all.

I would highly recommend anyone in need of a specialty wedding, anniversary or birthday cake to try Cake Works! We ordered a two tier cake with live flowers cascading down the side, which turned out better than I had expected. Thank you Cake Works!

Our Wedding Cake was absolutely stunning! It was a little 2 tier cake with ocean theme! It was the most decadent cake like evarrr! The strawberry guava and chocolate mocha layers were the bomb! The iridescent white and purple on the cake was amazing! I definitely will be back on November 10th for our 4 year anniversary cake!! I love love love Cake Works!! ~ <3

My husband and I could not have been happier with Abigail's amazing creation for our wedding on Oahu. Her pricing was affordable, communication was quick and easy. The cake was delicious and a huge talking point among all our friends and family. I did not have anything particular in mind, but she was able to put all the concepts we had wanted into a masterful work of art. I would highly recommend Cake Works for any occasion! Thank you all again for a cake that I couldn't have dreamed of being any more perfect than it was!

I contacted them for my daughters party and they were so helpful and knew exactly what look I wanted. (Semi naked cake). I didn't know what flavor to get and they suggested some of their popular flavors. For her big cake, I got lilikoi and for her smash cake, I got strawberry guava. They both were so delicious. Everyone that ate the lilikoi absolutely loved it. It was so moist and light. I'm really wishing I could have some right now. I decorated it with my own flowers and custom made topper. I highly recommend Cake works for your next event cake!!!! Can it be my birthday soon?

I got married on 8/7/16 in Kualoa Ranch, it was a destination wedding. Based on reviews and pricing, I went ahead and booked Cakeworks. I worked with Leilani. She responds through emails in a timely manner. Honeybook is their main form of communication and payment. Being that it was a destination wedding, I sent Leilani pictures of what I wanted my cake to look like. It was going to be a simple look because I knew I was going to add some fresh flowers and my own decorations to the cake. Prior to my wedding, I did a cake tasting at Cake Works with my Maid of honor and we chose 2 flavors: Strawberries and Cream and Lilikoi Lemon. Both tasted great! Unlike some reviews, we had unlimited tastings and we were not charged a $20 tasting fee. Cake Works pricing was reasonable. I ordered a smooth champagne fondant with white monogram D on a 3-tier 2-flavor cake serving about 50 people. They do charge on delivery depending how far the wedding venue is. They don't charge on how many flavors you want on a cake. I loved how the champagne color and the monogram D turned out. The flavors turned out delicious and we received compliments from our guests. My only caveat since my wedding was outdoors, the heat and humidity caused the 2nd tier on my cake to tilt a little to the right. Other than that, everything else was beautiful. I recommend Cake Works. I can't really judge them on creativity because I gave them a picture to follow. However, their service, tasting, pricing, and flavors will not disappoint! Mahalo Cake Works!

My cake was one of the most delicious wedding cakes I have ever tasted! Everyone at the receptuion raved about it. And the groom's cake, a cheesecake, was so good that I still have dreams about it! I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a sweet treat or event dessert in Oahu. Thank you guys so much!

Chef Abi created the most beautiful five-tiered cake, each with a different flavor and each in a different size...an edible work of art so delicious, we ate the gluten free anniversary cake 24 hours later! A heartfelt endorsement.

Seriously the most delicious cake I've ever had! I heard it was good from the locals and they knew what they were talking about! As a busy bride during the reception I made it a point to make sure we had time to eat cake - and I'm so glad I did. I sent a photo of my cake design and it was absolutely perfect! They also helped with the cake size for ensuring we had enough and it was perfect!

The look and taste of the cake were both fantastic. We got the passion fruit with mandarin oranges and the coconut- both so moist and flavorful (&not too sweet!) the designers at CakeWorks definitely care about the end result. they were accommodating and flexible to change. they listened to what we were envisioning and made suggestions on exactly how to go about it. I loved our cake and would recommend them in a heartbeat! we will definitely be revisiting them on our next trip back to Honolulu

The most beautiful cake (and best tasting) ever! Cake Works was SO easy to work with, I ordered eight different cupcake flavors and a cake for our reception. The cake was beautifully decorated and they delivered and set-up; completely took the hassle out of the wedding day. I even changed the cake design and color a few days before the reception, and they were more than happy to accommodate our wants.

We found CakeWorks through The Wedding Cafe Hawaii. They offered a coupon for free wedding cake sampling, so we decided to do it. We had an appointment/consultation with Allise. She was very friendly and helpful. We only showed her pictures of what we wanted for our wedding cake once. She wrote everything down and on our wedding day, the cake we imagined was there. Allise was very easy to work with. She made sure that we were able to get the wedding cake of our dreams. She also responds to emails in a timely manner even though she is a busy woman. We are glad that we chose CakeWorks to do our wedding cake.

We were extremely happy with the 4 layered chocolate cake with pink vanilla cream filling and 3 layered strawberry shortcake pink dolloped cake that we got from Cake Works. The cakes were not only beautiful but delicious! We also ordered a bunch of mini cupcakes that were to die for! They had a large variety of flavors and all the ones that we tried were delicious and adorable!

Cake Works created a beautiful and elegant cake for our wedding! It was simply delicious and I don't even like cake! They also were able to add last minute sugar cookies I had made for my groom without any hesitation. Absolutely fantastic job; we could not be happier with their services!

I didn't personally work with Cake Works, my coordinator took care of that for me. My cake was SO GOOD. I had a single layer Gluten Free Strawberries and Cream cake with butter cream frosting. PEOPLE, it was amazing :) I can't wait to get back to Hawaii for my one year anniversary and get this cake again! They also provided us with chocolate covered strawberries and macaroons for our wedding desserts. Highly recommend Cake Works!

Loved the cake we ordered through Cake Works and it was such an easy process especially having to do everything from out of the country. The cake was so amazing and loved the different choices of flavors.

A two months before my wedding, I was researching weddings cakes in Oahu... I was looking online at bakeries and Came across CakeWorks. Upon my research on the website, I seen the most beautiful cakes on their website and called them. When I did explained to the lady that answered the phone what I wanted, what our favorite flavors was and my budget. She was so helpful that I decided to look no further. I explained to her that I will be on the island in a month for a cake tasting and she will schedule me in. When i arrived to Cakeworks, the smell hit me as I walked in the door, it smelled of fresh cookies and cakes. We did our consultation and decided on a fresh strawberries and cream, the devils food, and lilikoi for our 3 tier cake. We also had gotten 100 mini cupcakes as well as delivery! Needless to say our cake and cupcakes we a hit! Everyone loved them! Thanks to CakeWorks for making our day extra special!!

Our cake was exactly how we wanted it. I loved the yellow flower decoration and carrot and chocolate cake were delicious.

I was a little hesitant to hire Cake Works because of mixed reviews and the limited amount of cake flavors (mostly vanilla). My wedding coordinator strongly recommended them, especially since it was an outside ceremony in July. I could not go in for a tasting since I live in NY. The staff was very communicative and we got close to the tropical combination I wanted. The cake turned out beautifully and held up in the heat (buttercream) and some of the guests raved on how it was the best wedding cake they have ever tasted. Some said they even asked for seconds! Thanks Cakeworks!

They went above and beyond my expectations. I loved every detail of my cake and it was so delicious! Cake works did an awesome job. The cake was absolutely gorgeous!

Cake Works makes extremely delicious wedding cakes, and the prices are reasonable. Although Abi can make very intricate cake designs with fondant, we opted for a simpler cake with fresh flowers, so the taste of the buttercream frosting was important to us, and Cake Works' frosting is delicious. Delivery and set up went smoothly, the cake looked beautiful, and tasted wonderful!

This was easy because I went knowing exactly what I wanted. After meeting with the consultant and having tried samples of their many cakes. I came down to one..no question about it. I wanted a strawberry short cake in three sizes on three stands. The cake was delicious and exactly as I hoped they'd look.

Cake Works did a great job with our very unusual cake + cupcake tiers design. It was very tasty!!

The cake was amazing and they did a great job of bringing my vision to life. They made an amazing cupcake tower for my wedding and it was a huge hit!

We may have been dealing with this vendor while they were in transition, I dealt with them strictly via e-mail, and perhaps that explained the difficulty in communication in the beginning. Anyhow, the cake was beautiful, and delicious, we were satisfied with it for our small wedding. They were the only vendor that was available for our wedding date that actually responded quickly to e-mails, that was a big plus for a destination wedding! We contacted 6 cake vendors, 1 was unavailable, and the other 4 never bothered to respond. Overall a satisfactory experience.

They were so awesome!! The design and the flavors of the cake was so great, and the price made it even better. Now that we've tried them, I would probably go there to get birthday cakes as well.

I wouldn't say they are totally organized, but the lady I dealt with on the phone was really nice and understanding. We had a 3 tier buttercream cake. Not necessarily the best cake I've ever tried, but I didn't expect it to be either.

Amazing! Everything was perfect. Very satisfied, and flavor were great!

My husband and I had some alternative ideas of what we wanted for our wedding cake. We wanted to use a Hawaiian quilt pattern that we used as a theme throughout our wedding. Cake Works took the pattern and made a beautiful cake with the quilt pattern in our persimmon color (on a white background). The cake definitely added a pop of color to our event. The only problem we had was that the cake did not sit up straight. . . it quickly started to lean and had to be put into the fridge before we cut the cake. The day was not particularly hot, the cake was delivered during the happy hour, and the sun was not on the cake. My mother and I were wondering if the proper supports weren't placed in the cake to hold it up straight. Regardless, the cake tasted great.

My cake was EXACTLY what I wanted. The colors where perfect, design was impeccable, and the taste? Absolutely heavenly!!! I was afraid that the colors would be off, but it was perfect!!! I also couldn't believe how affordable the cake was...I would recommend cake works to every bride!

Lilikoi is hawaiin for passionfruit, and it was delicious!

I was very pleased with the job that Cake Works did with our wedding cake. It tasted great and looked exactly the way we wanted it to look. I highly recommend them to anyone that is thinking about having a wedding cake made.

I ordered my wedding cake several months in advance with this company. They came highly recommended. We were having our dinner at the Ola Restaurant and asked for the cake to be delivered by 8 pm. The cake did not make it until almost 9. Thank goodness we were just finishing up with dinner. I was a little upset with it not being there when we asked, but it got there and in one piece. The cake looked great. Was exactly what I ordered and the taste was wonderful. I would certainly recommend them to anyone but I would just make sure that if it needs to be there at that time and not a minute later you let them know this. I figured that since it was not until 8 pm that evening, I did not have to worry.

I was a pretty indecisive bride. I had a general idea of what I wanted my wedding to be like, but I could not figure out the details! I talked to the staff at Cake Works and they recommended a beautiful cake design for me. I liked the photos of a past cake that they'd done, and trusted that they could make a cake that I would love. And they did!!!! My cake showed up on time and BEAUTIFUL! It was even more gorgeous than I thought it would be. They really put in extra time and effort, even though I was completely hands off and laid back. Not only did the cake look great, but it tasted great too. I am so happy I chose Cake Works!!!
