cakelava

Mmmmm. cakelava. I had a couple of friends in Hawaii that absolutely love Cake Lava so I had to see what all the fuss was about when we were looking at wedding cake vendors (we evaluated about 6 different ones). Since I was living in Hawaii while wedding planning, I got to taste all the great flavors ahead of time. Woo hoo! Rick and Sasha made it easy and later provided a sketch of what the cake would look like. They were able to work within our budget too. The cake was modern-looking with beautiful flowers and tasted fantastic! It looked even better than we had hoped! We went with the non-colored rainbowlicious flavor and it was awesome! Since we had a dessert as part of the reception dinner, we ended up with a lot of leftover cake and the family was more than happy to “take care of it” the next day. We highly recommend cakelava.

Cakelava were PERFECT for our needs! Our cake was stunning (an original design) and delicious. We are from Australia and we got married in Oahu in October 2010. Our communications with vendors were through email and it was was therefore important that all our vendors provided responses that were detailed and prompt. Despite being a very busy business, Sasha always responded promptly and in a professional, yet very friendly manner. Our cake was an original design to match the Japanese paper that we used for our invitations. They asked us to send a sample of the paper, and a spare invitation. They designed the cake, sent us a sketch of this design, and provided advice when my partner also had grand designs for the cake. I screamed in delight when I saw our cake at our reception. It was stunning and beyond our expectations. And, it tasted devine!! On the downside, they are pricey. Also, they do not send the contract until after the deposit is paid. So we did not know that their cake must be the only cake served during the event, until we had paid our deposit. Because of this rule, we had to make changes with our reception venue regarding deserts served. I highly recommend Cakelava. However, future brides should request to see the contract before any money is paid to see exactly what they're committing to.

Cake Lava are the absolute best on the island, in fact you would be hard pressed to find better on the mainland!! Rick is so unbelievably talented and Sasha is so fun and helpful!! Our cake was a bit of a surprise to us, and came out spectacular!! We had vibrant colours which were hard to work with and wanted a Hawaii theme without the Kitch! Everyone thought it was the most amazing cake they have ever seen! IN FACT OUR CAKE WAS ON TV!!! http://www.kitv.com/video/22744652/index.html Thanks so much! You were the first vendor we booked and made the wedding process so much fun! We loved our cake, and the taste was amazing too! (I actually tried one of each of the three flavours!) The only Cake people you even look to book for the most important day of your lives!! You will be soo happy you did!

The cake was nice but getting them to change the design a little was a bit of a process, but overall it was accomplished.

Exceptional! This is a great word for Cake lava. My wife worked with them throughout the whole time because she wanted to have a surprise groom cake for me, and oh boy was it! My wedding cake was a small three tier bamboo cake with some of the yummiest flavors we had ever had. My surprise cake was an actual Football with a Dallas Cowboys star logo on it!! It was awesome and everyone else thought so too. The cakes look great, your guests will not stop talking about them and as far as the pricing goes, c'mon, it's your wedding day! You should hopefully get married once and if you want the best, you have to pay for the best. Cake Lave, you are truly the best and I highly recommend you as a place to go for the best cakes around.

Cakelava was more than a bakery, they were artists. Although their creation was slightly on the higher end of cost, we wouldn't change our cake for anything. They created the cake in the exact manner which was described and even provided suggestions to make it look even better. The ingredients were fresh and many guests were heard saying, "Wow, this is by far the best wedding cake I've ever had." We would recommend this husband and wife team to anyone who values quality, originality, and sheer artistic ability.

Sasha and Rick at Cakelava are a wedding-cake-godsend! All you need to do to be convinced is visit their website (www.cakelava.com) and you'll see what I mean. They can literally do anything you ask for. What you see is literally what you get. I had never tasted a tasty wedding cake until my own wedding. I also surprised my husband with a groom's cake with a completely different flavor, and one was better than the other. We did all the planning from Washington, DC and I never had any issues communicating with Sasha. If you are having a wedding on Oahu, you HAVE TO go with Cakelava for any of your baked goods needs.

Cake Lave makes beautiful cakes for any occasion, and our wedding cake was spectacular. They took the idea of using the design of our invitations on our cake, and it came out beautiful. The cake was not cheap and we spent more than we wanted. Also for the price, the taste of the cake was not the best. They had a lot of flavors to choose from, but the quality was not where i thought it should be, a little dry. But it was the look that mattered the most at the time!

Rick and Sasha Reichart are both a wonderful couple and incredibly professional. My wedding was planned within three months with both myself and my husband living on separate continents! Rick and Sasha helped make the experience much easier and more wonderful with their constant contact with us, their quick response times to our emails, and with their concerted effort to do their very best in every way to give us what we desired and make their part of our wedding day an absolute success. Not to mention Rick makes some of the most amazing cakes I have ever tasted. Cakelava has a unique variety of flavors and a unending supply of imagination. While they do specialize in intricate designs and unconventional flavors and are therefore a little more expensive, I highly recommend them.
