I usually don't like the bakeries in Hawaii because they're too sweet for my Asian taste buds. I like something that has a strong flavor but also isn't a candy cane kind of sweet. And Cake Works definitely met to my expectations. I honestly didn't think too big of them, the pastries just looked cute but they also tasted so good!
I tried the Pistachio and Coconut Haupia flavored mini cupcakes and it was pretty good. I really liked how the cupcakes are small and not huge portions. It fits with two bites and costs about $1.65 per cupcake.
The coconut wasn't that sweet but still had this coconut blend in it's cream on top. The coconut shreds definitely highlighted it much better. I didn't really think of taking a picture so I just ate it. Lol
The Pistachio was a whole different story. The cream on top wasn't sweet and had a slight pistachioey taste. I liked it. Once I moved onto the cupcake, the inside was filled with some sort of sweet filling and it really balanced out the soft cupcake to add a burst of flavor! One of my favorites!
As you can see, the cupcakes are the size of macaroons! Adorable and a nice set up to get customers interested!
I haven't tried the macaroons yet and I am super excited. The fancy ones are $4.00 each and the regular rainbow colors are $2.00 each. They had a special price for buying many but I'm not sure if that applies with the special ones. I'll be updating about that when I go back to try their macaroons!
Cake Works Bakery is an awesome place to take your kids and family in general! Their are chairs and tables outside however, the parking may not be favorable. They open 9:00a.m until about 4:00p.m. Everyone should check this place out!
See you guys soon~!
