Beautiful and delicious cake, amazing service!! I recommend you plan your own cake needs well in advance...but I found myself scrambling to put together a celebration for our parents' anniversary (We had to wait to settle everyone's schedules for this party). I'd reached out to a few vendors and only 3 were available on such short notice. I'd considered another bakery nearby, but I went with A Cake Life because Kristin was so prompt and professional in her emails and she was honest about what they could do for us with a few days' notice. I loved that she kept her focus positive...basically they could make our cake but they weren't able to deliver it so we picked it up the morning of our event. We went with a 6" and 10" semi-naked cake decorated similarly to their Rustic Green pre-designed style. It was perfect! I asked Kristin what the two most popular flavors were and she said Strawberries and Cream and Lilikoi, so we went with those for our 2 layers. The cake was a hit and we got so many complements. We ordered a little more than we needed because I liked the look of a bigger cake. Our guests were thrilled to take home leftover cake and they even spatula'ed the crumbs and filling into their to-go boxes, all we had left were the cake board and topper, lol!!! Mahalo Kristen and Crew...keep up the fantastic work!!!

A Cake Life is the best custom cake maker in Hawaii! Working with Kristen and her team to design and order my wedding cake was simple and easy. The actual cake came out even better than I expected, and not only was the cake beautiful, it tasted amazing! The top layer was lemon, which is a wonderful balance of sweet and tart. The strawberry short cake bottom layer was filled with fresh strawberries and silky rich butter cream. I can't thank Kristen and the entire team enough!

I wanted a special cake for my wife’s St. Patrick’s Day themed surprise 40th birthday party. With only a week notice, Gina and crew put together a legendary and absolutely delicious work of art. Everyone at the party raved about how beautiful and tasty it was. I wasn’t sure about the confetti cake and icing on the inside, but it was FABULOUS. Best buttercream icing of all time. The ordering process, communication, and pick up was seamless. Highly recommend A Cake Life!

Kristin and her team delivered a delicious and beautiful cake to our hotel for our daughter's 5th birthday celebration. People who never eat cake loved it and praised it, especially the fresh strawberries in the filling. I would highly recommend A Cake Life to everyone on Oahu. Thanks for making this so memorable!

Kristin and her team did a great job with our daughter's Barbie cake. We're vacationing here in Oahu and wanted a cake to go with the party's theme. Contacting the bakery, choosing flavors (fresh strawberries in the filling is highly recommended), and scheduling delivery were all easy to do. The cake was spotless and tasted SO good. Family who usually do not eat cake loved it!! A huge testament to how well the bakery does cake. Would recommend A Cake Life to everyone on the island.

I had the pleasure of working with "A Cake Life" for my parent's anniversary celebration, and I couldn't be more delighted with the results. The cake and desserts they provided were not only visually stunning but also absolutely delicious. "A Cake Life" demonstrated incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail, capturing the essence of the occasion perfectly. From the initial consultation to the delivery, their professionalism and passion for their craft were evident. My parents and the guests were thoroughly impressed, and the desserts became a highlight of the celebration. I wholeheartedly recommend "A Cake Life" for anyone looking for exquisite and delectable treats for their special events.

The first time we ordered a cake was for our wedding. However we could not afford how expensive it was so we bought a common design BUT still beautiful 2 layer round cake. It was amazing! Very tasty even though it was still pretty expensive. However, my grandmother decided to help herself to it and ate all of it before my husband could get a chance. So, when my husband was promoted recently I bought him his own. EVERYTHING the same! Same flavor and same frosting, just no decoration to save money. Sadly, it was very dry. Not at all what I remembered for our first cake at our wedding the year prior. I am so thankful that they made our wonderful cake for our wedding and it was very moist. This one was not even close to that. Very sad. I highly recommend you open your doors for customers to come in too. It is a little scary to me going into any place that serves food where you are not able to see their sanitation practices. Photos is a copy of what our wedding cake looked like. We don't have a picture of the promotion cake but it was slightly smaller, with no decorations to make it more affordable. Lilikoi yellow cake flavoring

I visited Hawaii for my birthday and brought along 18 guests. I chose to have a small gathering just before the luau and wanted a tasty and pretty cake to celebrate. Cake works had the best reviews as well as the type of cakes that were aesthetically pleasing, so I gave them a chance. I'm SO glad I did!! The delivery was smooth and easy. The cake was well protected and remained in tact while we celebrated and sang. What a beautiful cake! WOW! Best of all, it was DELICIOUS!!! I ate my entire piece and eyed the half eaten cake next to me. I worked with Kristin who was always clear, asked clarifying questions and gave instructions at the drop off. She was professional and kind. THANK YOU for helping me create this experience for my family and friends. What's a party without the cake? I recommend Cake Works as it is professional, affordable, kind service, gorgeous cakes and TASTY!!

We picked up our 6 inch Strawberries and Cream wedding cake the day before the event . The cake was so moist and delicious the next day . My husband ate almost half of the cake that day , it was delicious!!
We used A Cake Life for our wedding a couple weeks ago and are super happy with how everything turned out! They were super easy to work with and incredibly professional. They made 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.

A Cake Life has become a cherished tradition for my family, and each experience surpasses the last. This local cake company, situated in Honolulu, has consistently exceeded our expectations with their delectable creations, friendly service, and remarkable attention to detail.Last year I decided to pre-order a custom-designed birthday cake for my family trip to Waikiki. Kristen, the creative force behind the company patiently answered all my questions regarding flavors, designs, and customization options. We opted for the Lilikoi flavor, which turned out to be super delicious. It was moist, bursting with flavor, and, most importantly, not overly sweet—a perfect choice for my asian family members. Since we couldn't finish the cake in one sitting, we wrapped it in plastic wrap and stored it in our hotel room fridge, and even after a few days, it remained as delicious and moist as when we first indulged in it.Earlier this week, my family decided on a last-minute trip to Waikiki for yet another member's birthday, leaving us with little time to pre-order a custom cake. Regrettably, A Cake Life was operating at full capacity for custom orders. However, Kristen once again demonstrated her exceptional customer service by offering to squeeze us in with a pre-designed cake. We opted for the Strawberries N Cream this time, which turned out to be equally delightful with the addition of real strawberries in the filling.A Cake Life is a true gem if you're in search of a mouthwatering cake experience, and definitely my family's number one choice in Honolulu! Whether you choose a custom creation or a pre-designed option, rest assured that you'll be in for a wow-worthy treat. The only caveat is to plan ahead and order in advance, as their popularity is well-deserved, and they understandably get booked up quickly.Thank you! Looking forward to the next time!
