On August 12th I dropped in and ordered a 6 inch strawberry guava cake to be delivered to my hotel on August 16th. Delivery was expensive and I got a call the day before confirming the details since the drivers were running behind, but overall I didn’t have any time constraints and it went well.
My issue is that I went to cut the cake later that evening, I noticed that every strawberry on top had mold on it and the cake was extremely hard. If I didn’t know any better, I would say that it was the display cake that I saw when I came in on the 12th, just with an added white chocolate name plate on top. It was very dry and difficult to eat, not that we could because of the mold.
I would just verify if you’re ordering from here exactly when they will be baking the cake before you buy it.

We ordered our wedding cake from CakeWorks for our destination wedding in Hawai‘i, and it was absolutely perfect! The cake was a stunning three-tier design, and each tier featured a different flavor which every single one was delicious and beautifully made.
Planning a destination wedding can come with its challenges, but CakeWorks made everything so smooth and easy. From communication to delivery to presentation, they delivered flawlessly. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better... our guests are still talking about it!
Thank you to the entire CakeWorks team for helping make our day so memorable (and so sweet)!

DO NOT GET A GENDER REVEAL CAKE HERE!!! I called in for a gender reveal cake and they forgot the most important part, THE GENDER part of the cake. I was so upset I started balling in the middle of Waikiki. I went back the week after for a new cake with the gender in it, but this time THEY FORGOT THE WRITING on the top of the cake. Took them two trys and they still could not get it right. Eventually I gave up and just wrote the text out myself. It sucked because it was the supposed to be the cake that told me my baby's gender and tell my family I was pregnant. In the end, it was such a disappointing experience. I hope no one eles had to go through this. I never plan to go here again. Which is unfortunate because their Macaroons are good.

I was just there for the macarons. I bring them to my office and the workers love them. I've never heard of a complaint. It's only $3 per macaron. That is a good price compared to other places selling the same. As you can see in the pics, they have great flavors and a lot to choose from. I definitely will be back.
My sister has ordered here in the past and was happy with her previous cake so I knew they were the place for her 21st birthday. I sent my inspiration pictures and they were able to make some adjustments to fit closer to my budget. I ordered about a month in advance. They were super understanding about me rescheduling the pickup time. The cake was ready at pick up time which I scheduled for right when they opened. I was worried about transporting it in the car myself but it didn’t move in the box at all.
The colors were a perfect match to the inspo I sent and it looked so cute in pictures. We got the Kona Macadamia Nut flavor and it was AMAZING. I felt like there wasn’t too much frosting which I prefer that way. The frosting was nice and light not overly sweet in my opinion. The cake itself was moist and had a yummy vanilla flavor. The star of the show was the Kona Mac Nut filling, so flavorful and really packed a punch. I ordered a 6” heart cake and it was over 10 servings. We had a lot of people over so we did cut smaller slices, which was good cause it was so rich. This was my first professional cake I’ve ordered so I’m not sure how the pice compares to other places but it was worth absolutely every penny! The cake was a huge hit at the party. We had some leftovers and put them in the fridge, made for great breakfast the next day!
Overall my experience with Cake Works was great! They were very kind and nailed the design and flavors were so good. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to get a cake in Honolulu. Thank you for making my sister’s birthday cake a huge success!
