A Cake Life

The thought of planning my Hawaiian wedding all the way from Texas seemed daunting and stressful. However, it was neither of those things. After doing some research online and receiving recommendations from various other vendors, A Cake Life was the obvious choice to me for a creative, delicious wedding cake. I began the process by emailing my inquiry of availability and pricing. I soon received an abundance of information from Kristin at A Cake Life. The fears I mentioned above were quelled by the level of creativity and professionalism I received from them. They took my vision and brought it to life, providing me with sketches and exact details of what my cake would look like. I was also highly impressed with the affordability and value I received in my cake. We signed a detailed contract and communicated frequently in the period before my wedding. On the big day, the cake was delivered on time and matched the sketch I received perfectly. The cake was exactly what we had discussed and what I had envisioned. More importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious! A guest at our wedding commented that we were lucky because most cakes are pretty, but not delicious, and our cake was both. Thank you A Cake Life for the wonderful service and product you provided!

My Cake was such a HIT!!!! My guests LOVED it, and were raving about it for weeks after the wedding!! We did a cupcake cake with the minimum order of mini and the the minimum order of regular cupcakes, with a guava and strawberry and cream filled little cake on top, and they decorated it for me, SO perfectly!!! Kristin was such a pleasure to work with, she made it all super easy to order the cake over email and phone. Mahalo to the team at A Cake Life for being a part of such a perfectly magical day for me!!!

I would highly recommend "A Cake Life" to anyone. The cake we had made for my daughters wedding was adapted from a picture we sent to Kirstin. THe cake not only looked amazing and surpassed our expectations but tasted great too!!!

Working with Kristin from A Cake Life was simple, easy and very professional. We requested an elegant 3-tier cake with "Tiffany blue" fondant, a white drape, scattered white sugar gardenias and silver pearls around the base of each tier. I was worried about whether the color would match but the cake turned out absolutely amazing! The cake flavor was white cake with strawberry buttercream which tasted heavenly!! Not only did the cake meet our expectations, our guests also admired and complimented us on the wedding cake. We are so glad to have worked with Kristin.

Kristin and her team did an amazing job, not once but twice! We ordered an Alaskan themed grooms cake for our rehearsal dinner. She paid attention to the little details and it showed. The other was our wedding cake. We ordered a wedding cake with additional sheet cakes... super moist and to die for! Our wedding cake left us speechless... it was gorgeous and everything we wanted and more! We are OBSESSED with the white cake with fresh strawberry filling and the chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. They were peerfect. We are already thinking of reasons to order another cake....

When our wedding coordinator suggested Kristin, my fiance got very excited, since she remembered reading about A Cake Life in Midweek. Kristin listened to what my fiance imagined her cake looking like, then proceeded to make it into a reality. That she designed a cake that was even more beautiful than what my now-wife imagined is a testament to her vision. That the taste was superb is proof of her talent. We are hoping to order more cakes from her, just to share with people who couldn't attend our wedding.

We had a destination wedding and didn't stress one bit about our cake. A Cake Life made everything very simple! Plus, WE LOVED THE CAKE!! Kristin and her assistant did a phenomenal job on all of the details: from creating an aesthetically appealing cake, an extremely satisfying cake, to delivering and setting the cake up; everybody was very impressed! The coconut cupcakes were fantastic and the guava cake with strawberry cream filling was absolutely amazing! Additionally, we had a mishap on our end. Kristin and her assistant waited for someone to meet her at the reception site for 40 minutes. That dedication is unbelievable. They didn't complain that we were late, they just made sure we were happy with everything!...and we were! I recommend A Cake Life to anyone!

A Cake Life Kristin Kato was referred to us by a family member and completely lived up to our expectations. Kristin is professional from start to finish. In our first meeting, she helped us narrow down our flavors, by letting us sample some requested cakes and some that she recommended. In our second meeting, Kristin helped us envision our wedding cake design and she really put it in perspective with a sketch. We knew exactly what we wanted for our grooms’ cake, and it turned out perfect and beyond expectations. We received lots of compliments on the presentation and the flavor of the cakes. Kristin was quick to follow up on all communication and cleared information so that everyone was on the same page. We highly recommend A Cake Life and will definitely utilize their service in the future!

I contacted A Cake Life to make a surprised grooms cake for my now husband. My husband loves to golf. I got him a golf themed cake where he was laying on the ground, blowing his ball into the hole. I met with Kristen and she was so nice and willing to go with my budget. When I actually saw the cake I was amazed at the details she got onto the cake. From the eyes to the hat that my husband always wear. I would totally recommend Kristen and A Cake Life. =)

Kristin was amazing to work with. We got cupcakes with a cake topper - red velvet and yellow cake/strawberry cream filling. Our guests were raving about the cakes, especially that strawberry cream filling. You can tell they use the best ingredients and the cake was so moist. It was even better than I remembered from our tasting. Kristin was also extremely professional and very on top of her communication. She was super responsive, even followed-up with me at times I owed her information. The delivery/display was all done without a hitch. I highly recommend them!

I had a great experience working with Kristin. When we began the design process we didn't have a clear vision of what we wanted. Kristin and I emailed back and forth with ideas and finally arrived at a design that was simple but still very chic. Not only was our fabulous cake a show-stopper, the yellow butter cake with coconut filling and rolled fondant creation was delish. Thank you Kristin!

Little girls all over the world dream about their fairy tale wedding or princess gown, and these dreams sometime stretch into adulthood. I was not one of them. However, the one element I hoped for was the perfect wedding cake, “a piece of art.” When we met with Kristin for the first time I came armed with many different photos incorporating many different design details. Then I shared my story. Kristin seemed touched by this and was ready to make this dream come true. The story didn’t stop there. The groom has a love for shoes. On a recent trip to New York we were on the hunt for a specific pair, but were out of luck. I thought it would be fun to have a groom’s cake replica of the shoe he desired. After many photos and conversations the grooms cake was realized (in a true size 10), and it was remarkable. Every little detail down to the shoelaces and stitching on the leather trim was included. Both cakes were definite showpieces and the talk of all our guests. The actual wedding cake was beautiful and it couldn’t have been easy. After tasting the butter cream (delicious) I knew I wanted it versus fondant. I was worried that it wouldn’t look as clean and smooth, but it was not an issue. It exceeded my expectations. The groom’s cake was a hit and looked too real to eat (… but we did of course). Our vision was executed to perfection. Kristin and her team are amazing. She listens, communicates, and delivers. She is a true talent and we will recommend A Cake Life over and over again.

Kristin is wonderful to work with! I was indecisive about what I wanted my cupcake cake to look like but Kristin was so patient and helpful. I corresponded with her entirely over e-mail and she was prompt and very thorough in all of her communications. The cupcake tower looked so good! I couldn’t believe it! I knew it would look good from the pictures on their website but it was more than I expected when I saw it in person. It was perfect! If there is any reason for me to order a cake next time I’m in Hawaii – it’ll definitely be through A Cake Life! P.S. The guava filling in my cupcakes was to die for!

The lilikoi wedding cake was delicious and we got many compliments on it! The flowers on top of the cakes were perfect and it looked fantastic with the cake plates that I provided. Kristin was so patient with all my anal-retentive e-mail correspondence and worked with a few inspiration images that I sent her. Rather than have a single large cake, we agreed on a more challenging motif of 6 variously-sized cakes (with one of them being a two-tier) with slightly different colors and surface textures. The only thing I would have changed is that the tonal/color variation of the cakes wasn't quite as subtle as the inspiration image I sent, but the frosting textures was so beautiful I barely noticed on my wedding day. If you are particular about your wedding design, you may have to be creative or hire additional help as Kristin wasn't able to provide loaner cake stands/plates or recommend a local resource. I wanted a particular vintage look with variously-sized cake stands at different heights and had to provide/make my own stands. These were such minute details, though, and I was overjoyed by the cakes Kristin prepared - I would highly recommend her!

Kristin at A Cake Life is just great! Right from the start she was helpful, creative, timely with her emails, very accommodating of my ideas and so friendly. The cupcake tower looked fantastic and tasted divine! All my guests thought it was so fantastic! I came from Australia for my Hawaiian wedding and I am so glad I used A Cake Life - I felt confident at all times that Kristin would deliver everything we discussed over email, I didn't have to worry at all about anything!!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kristin from A Cake Life. Our cake was the showpiece of our wedding and she was super accommodating. Her talent was AMAZING and her interpretation of what we wanted was totally on point. I will absolutely recommend A Cake Life to my friends and family.

Kristin from A Cake Life made everything so easy for me from the very beginning. She is very quick with her replies- whether it was by phone, text or e-mail (and facebook & twitter lol), and she was flexible with my busy schedule. She is open to any creative ideas, and she will give very helpful suggestions to make your cake even more special. She made our wedding cake so beautifully, and for someone like me who's very indecisive, it was a dream come true to have her make my cake. She has great sense of style when it comes to cake designing, and she kept my cake simple & elegant- just like I requested, but yet very memorable. Everyone loved the cake and complimented on it. The cake not only looked great, it even tasted great! I really didn't mind if my husband put it all over my face during the cake cutting cuz it tasted so good lol. Needless to say, it was a tough decision when she brought us samples of her cake. The cakes & the cream all tasted amazing! She is very professional & friendly, and was never late to any meetings. On the day of the wedding, she delivered the cake on time and even came to personally congratulate me. I can not imagine any other sweet person who fits the description of a cake maker for a joyous occasion than Kristin!

My wedding cake & cupcakes were done by A Cake Life, and they were perfect! I had planned my Hawaiian Wedding from Seattle, so all of my correspondence with the local vendors was via phone and email. Kristin from A Cake Life, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She initiated phonecalls and emails to help gather ideas and to provide me with her own creative suggestions. She was prompt, professional, warm and friendly throughout the several months we communicated. I opted to go with a simple, yet elegant top cake and cupcakes decorated with orchids. It was a beautiful cake and cupcake display, and it tasted delicious. The ordering and contract process was simple, and Kristin was able to combine our ideas and created exactly what I had pictured for my wedding, all without us meeting in person. If and when I am ever celebrating again in Hawaii I will definitely work with Kristin again.

I was given cart blanche by my son & his fiancee to create their cupcake wedding cake. After researching many wedding cake vendors, I decided on Kristin. I can't say enough about her, since I had to do this from San Diego. She responded quickly to my emails (very important to me!), always answering all of my questions & making some great suggestions. She was very flexable when I made changes a few times. Having brought ideas together from both of us, she created a cake that was more than I envisioned. It was absolutely beautiful, & at the same time different & unique. The sugar flowers were unbelieveable! Of course, not being able to meet personally with Kristin to view or taste her cakes was a concern to me, plus hoping that my vision was going to be the same as hers, was definitely put aside when I saw my son & new daughter-in-laws cake. Kristin was a great & I highly recommend her! Thank you Kristin!

Great cake, flowers, and cupcakes. Delivered and set up beautifully.
