Aloha!
On February 20, 2010 we had the pleasure of celebrating April & Richard’s wedding at the Dole Cannery Ballrooms. When we first met with April & Richard for their consultation, they already knew what kind of cake they wanted. April had explained the color scheme of their wedding was red and brown and the ballroom would be decorated with giant Asian lanterns. In order to tie everything together April and Richard chose a Cherry Blossom theme cupcake tower so each of their guests could enjoy a Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Icing. For their cake topper, April & Richard chose these super cute, and very original, Kokeshi Dolls. The Kokeshi were the perfect crowing to their Cherry Blossom cake. Kokeshi Dolls are traditional Japanese figurines carved from wood with an enlarged head and painted in a wide variety of dress. Kokeshi Dolls can be purchased online at handmade marketplace Etsy.com or, if you live on Oahu, at Shirokiya.
When we followed up with April after their wedding, she said the cake was a big success at their reception. April left this review on our WeddingWire.com vendor profile:
“Kristin was so nice and professional. We loved the cupcakes and the whole setup. She was so pleasant and flexible with the cake toppers that we provided. Our guests loved the delicious cupcakes!!! Amazing and yummy!!!”
We had a lot of fun making April & Richard’s Wedding Cake. Congratulations and we wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!
