Chloe's Hello Kitty 4th Birthday

We’ve been making Chloe’s birthday cakes for the past two years – an Abby Cadabby (from Sesame Street) cake for her 2^nd birthday and a Circus cake for her 3^rd birthday. This year, for her 4^th birthday, Chloe had a Spring Garden Hello Kitty themed party, at Nuuanu Community Park, complete with a bouncy house and a Hello Kitty character to greet guests.

We created a blue fondant cake with a handmade sugar Hello Kitty figure sitting in the grass, surrounded by flowers and bees. The cupcakes were Yellow Butter Cake with Fresh Strawberry Cream Filling and Devils Food Cake with Cookies N Cream Filling, with various sugar Hello Kitty head toppers, bows and flowers.

In addition, they had cake pops created by Sweet Temptations Cupcakery.

We love working with repeat clients, and are always excited to see what Chloe’s mom, Kat, has in store for her party. Happy Birthday Chloe and thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

Eliana’s Ombre Ruffle Cake

When Karine of Seasons of Life Events contacted us about creating a cake for her granddaughter’s baby shower we were super excited as we love her work!

She shared with us that the theme of the event was “You Are My Sunshine”, and allowed us some creative freedom. Lately I’ve been in love with ruffles – they are so pretty and romantic, and OMBRE (having colors or tones that shade into each other) is a hot trend in the wedding world right now.

We designed a 2-tier buttercream cake, with yellow ruffles on the bottom slowly fading into white on the top tier in a soft textured buttercream. We hand painted the “you are my sunshine” banner, and Karine provided the pennant banner cake topper. For their flavor, they chose our Guava Cake with Lilikoi Cream Filling.
