We were asked to create a “luggage cake” for a Japanese couple getting married at the Hau Tree Lanai at the New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel. To honor their love of travel and the 11 countries they’ve visited, the 3-tier white fondant cake was made to look like three suitcases stacked on top of each other, with different clasps and handles on each. We handmade various sugar figurines to represent the different places they’ve visited: postcards of the Sydney Opera House for Australia and a bull fighter for Spain, flags from various countries (Germany, Malaysia, etc.) hibiscus, orchids and plumeria flowers for Hawaii and two Japanese passports. The cake topper was provided by the bride and groom and for their flavors, they chose our Yellow Butter Cake with Strawberry Cream Filling.
