King's Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant

o be honest I only knew about the King Hawaiian rolls so I was a little skeptical but I was so pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. We had our tasting and each flavor we tried was seriously amazing - I figured when they made a larger cake there was no way it would be as good but I was 100% wrong. We ended up going with a white butter sponge cake with fresh strawberry filling and a chocolate chiffon cake with the wonder filling. We decided to upgrade what came standard with our venue and added a fourth tier to the cake and chose a design we liked. We bought some ribbon and brought it to the bakery and they were able to add that to the cake design. We also ended up renting one of their gold cake stands for only $40 and it really made the cake gorgeous and added so much elegance to it. When we had our first bite of cake at the wedding I was so surprised because it was just as good as the cake we tried at our tasting. The cake was seriously one of the highlights of the wedding. I cannot tell you how many people told me they went back for seconds, thirds, etc. because it was so good. We saved the top of our cake to eat on our one year anniversary but every night my husband asks if we can cut into it early :) On top of the cake being so delicious and exactly what I envisioned, it was a joy to work with Natalie and the team at King Hawaiian. They are so professional, kind and responsive. Highly recommend.

other bakery of this town's namesake but liked the taste and consistency of King's Hawaiian SO MUCH BETTER). We showed a picture of a cake design that we saw online and they were able to replicate it for our cake. Initially we thought we would order a white cake, but when they shows us all the colors that the outside of the cake could be - we went with another color and loved it! For our cakes, we went with the chocolate dobash cake, paradise cake, and lilikoi. Be warned though - many of our guests liked the cake so much they treated themselves to second servings! On the day-of, our cake was beautiful, light and fluffy, and delicious - exactly as expected from tasting day. I should also mention that the cost of this cake was a lot LESS than other bakeries in the area! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

months before the wedding for our cake tasting and it was exactly what I hoped for. Our cake coordinator was Natalie and she was so sweet and responsive to everything. We had an initial hiccup with the delivery time and she was able to promise that even with a 15 minute delivery window they would be able to get the cake to the venue (and they did!). I initially wanted a rustic three tiered cake with undefined horizontal lines which is the current trend, but Natalie showed us a few designs on her phone and we actually changed our minds and went with a totally different design for the cake. I am so happy we did since my original idea had been done by a million other brides. The paradise cake definitely fit our asian palette more as it is not as dense and heavy as traditional buttercream cakes. It has a light flavor with non dairy whip cream and strawberries between the layer that gave it an extra blast of fruitiness. Our guests absolutely loved it! The cherry on top is that their cakes are not outrageously priced. We got our three tiered cake plus an extra quarter sheet for under $700 including delivery fee. I was so busy on our wedding day that I didn't eat much of it, but my husband was able to pick up a slice for me when he went back to return the cake stand the next day. Happy wife makes a happy life!

e, delicious cake, and the final product was so beautiful! I wish I'd eaten more on the big day! Highly recommend.

tion, design, taste, and quality at King's Hawaiian. They had unique flavors (if one is so inclined to stray from the chocolate / vanilla path) and every single flavor we tried was amazing. Ultimately we chose a flavor we hadn't originally considered that staff insisted we try. They know their stuff. They also gave good advise on what flavors should be stacked on top of one another so that the cake would not loose structural integrity. They also let us know potential issues with certain design elements (e.g. dark on light frosting designs may bleed) so that we were able to make fully informed decisions. Cake was delivered on time, intact, and it looked how we expected. And it tasted INCREDIBLE. Om nom nom.

they would deliver all the way to La Canada Flintridge and for less of a fee than bakeries that are closer to the venue! They are so laid back there and the whole experience was stress free. We had to change our tasting time last minute, but they accommodated us with several other options and fit us in. After tasting their cake, you can't choose any other bakery. Definitely go with the chocolate chiffon cake with mocha buttercream, guests were in love!

ly since I live in San Diego, they made communication very easy!!! The cake was not only beautiful on our special day it tasted better then it looked!! We had three different flavors Dobash, Paradise, and Peach Buvarian. Each of our wedding guest ate atleast 2 slices each because it was so good!! Would definitely recommend Kings Hawaiian for a wedding!! Not only are their prices affordable, the cake looked beautiful, and tasted amazing!

e chiffon cakes are so light and airy; I think I could've eaten 3 slices on my wedding day. I think my husband and I will order a mini cake for each anniversary since we enjoyed our cake so much!

difficult time choosing between the orange chiffon cake and the paradise cake because they were both delicious! The other two we tried (yellow cake and chocolate chiffon) were okay. In the end, we decided on the paradise cake and added fresh strawberries. Delivery for the cake was around 25% of the cost, but that was worth it because I wouldn't even want to try deliver a 3-tier cake on a Saturday afternoon in So Cal traffic! The cake arrived on time and looked beautiful. My husband's family is from the midwest and his Mom loved the different flavors the paradise cake provided. Next time they come to visit, we're going to take them to the bakery so she can pick up another slice of paradise cake.

seated in a more private corner and presented with our four choices of cake (their most popular flavors). We went with the guava chiffon cake with fresh strawberries and cream - none of the flavors were overly sweet at all (we wanted to avoid the sugary-sweet “normal” cakes, we had been to two cake tastings already where we could barely finish more than two bites because of the sweetness) and with a subtle guava flavor in the fluffy cake and delicious taste of cream with strawberries. These didn’t leave you feeling heavy and the guava has a cute pink cake color that worked well with our garden wedding. We simply sent over a Pinterest photo of our cake icing design, we wanted a very simple, uneven icing all around the cake layers and they were able to do this easily and perfectly, very classy. It was delicious and was delivered on time with no hassle. Perfect.

the same it didn't taste the same and it was very dry, it was very disappointed

y since it was the best wedding cake I had tasted by far.

ween the layers, so this cake was even more delicious and moist. They created a two-tier cake and a sheet cake and used their unique white non-dairy frosting to decorate it. They put Swiss dots on one layer and a swirl/paisley design on the other layer for free. It was beautiful. It was also delicious and all of my guests loved it. My husband and I enjoyed the leftover pieces too. The cost of this beautiful, moist, sweet cake was very low considering the quality. They delivered it from Torrance to Newport Beach for a reasonable fee. I would definitely recommend King's Hawaiian for wedding cakes and for any other occasion!!

ract. We ordered one of their colors so we would get what we wanted. She was so rude and obviously completely lazy. Luckily we ordered the cake the cake for pickup the day before the wedding. After speaking to the manager, he agreed to re-frost it and deliver it to our venue between 1 and 3. It showed up at 4:30 as our guests were arriving and was pink, not apricot. thank god we did not let them decorate it, who knows what we would have gotten.

book and it came out fine, and the simple design was free of charge (you can get some more complicated ones for extra fees)I'd recommend picking something that isn't such a precise design, as design doesn't seem to be their forte at this place. Simple and uncomplicated is ideal! Pricing was AMAZING. The delivery fee can be a bit steep (It was about 20 percent of the price of the cake), but the price, even with delivery charge, was well worth it. So why the 4 star instead of 5 stars? Organization is a bit off at this place, as there seems to be "too many cooks in the kitchen" when it comes to their wedding cakes. This resulted in a small mix-up in the colors of my wedding cake. It still came out fine and nobody knew except for me and my planner. I was fine with it, but I know some brides may not be so I figured it was worth mentioning. For the record, you aren't assigned a single consultant, whoever happens to answer the phone on any given day is whoever is helping you with your order.

amount of guests coming-- but we actually did 50 servings more than our guest count--- and we were thankful! The cake was very light and delicious! Each tier was a different flavor so I'm guessing some went for second or thirds even. We didn't save the top tier so we'll have to go back for our one year. Also, I really liked the decorations. It was simple and elegant.

variety is $1 each). They have plenty of designs to choose from or you can provide them with your own cake design. They will let you know right away if there are any concerns (they do not do fondant). This is what we did. I brought in a colored photo of the 3 tiered round cake I wanted. The finished product was perfect. We ordered a chocolate dobash tiered cake, and then an additional Paradise Rainbow sheet cake with the gel filling because they cannot add the gel to tiered cakes. The prices are among the cheapest you will encounter when pricing out wedding cakes. We ordered enough for 230 guests. I think our total was around $500. Delivery charges vary. It cost us ~$80 to have our cakes delivered to Pasadena, but the total amount spent was still way below what the reception venue and several other bakeries we had contacted would have charged.

. UGH OH SO GOOD* detail oriented consultation. LOVE * cost. Sorry people but we didn't have a thousand bucks for our cake LOL. Thank goodness for King's! * delivery. Even with delivery it was still reasonable. * flavors. All the flavors we tried were DELISH! We had guava cake with fresh strawberries, chocolate chiffon with dobosh, and butter sponge cake with hazelnut. I only had a bite of the guava cake with fresh strawberries at the wedding since it was a crazy day but thankfully I had a ton at the tasting (with their hawaiian coffee of course) and also all my guests RAVED about it!!! Only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because the bow they put on the cake (ribbon they used) was orange rather than gold and I felt like it totally threw off the cake. Our colors were blush, ivory, and gold so the orange looked totally out of place. Other than that we loved everything about them. The design came out great. I provided some rows of bling I wanted added to the tiers and a brooch for the center of the bow which they did end up doing for me at no additional charge. I ordered a couple small cakes for the dessert bar too which were wonderful and well priced. :)

ct. (went with homemade cupcakes for the wedding.)

rvice, quality and cost were pretty good to so I was really happy with this vendor. I totally recommend them.

sly was not the seller, but the cake definitely was!!! I know the overall rating on this place is low, but the cake was absolutely delicious!!! We got the three-tier paradise delight round cake and it was absolutely phenomenal!!! The paradise delight is a paradise chiffon cake (guava, passion fruit and lime) with whipped cream, fresh strawberry and peach filling, topped with guava, lime, passion fruit glaze, with a fruit border of sliced peaches, fresh strawberry and kiwi. The cake looked exactly like the picture that I provided for their cake artist Eli and she did a great job accomplishing that! Overall, the service not so great, but the cake was absolutely amazingly delicious!!! If you are looking for a delicious cake, King's Hawaiian is worth every penny.

s! Leading up to the wedding, the customer service was great as well. Our cake tasting and meeting with the cake specialist at King's Hawaiian was a lot of fun, and we really enjoyed the whole process. Also, cakes were very reasonably priced and a great value too.

en a great choice for a wedding cake too. The cake was so good, and they had some pretty designs.

with, the customer service is friendly and professional. Our wedding cake was beautiful and everyone loved our flavors. I have already recommended King's Hawaiian to many of my friends and will continue to do so.

rful!

kes it hard to stack because it's so jiggly but they made it work! We also had a sheet and a half in the kitchen to help supplement the smaller tiered cake. It was vanilla sponge cake with fresh strawberries. Very light and not too sweet. Everyone loved the cakes!

o have the hawaiian paradise cake on a sheet cake (so you get the glaze) so that's we we did. But we also ordered a tiered cake with all the flavors in there as well. It is very reasonably priced and I feel that there is less of a "wedding premium" charge that you may find at other bakeries that specialize in wedding cakes. The had a variety of designs, the cake tasting was really easy and you get huge portions to try the cake. It was very easy to set things up and they are organized in how they handle your order.
