Year in Review – 2012

Another year has come and gone, and it’s been another great year of business for A Cake Life.  First off, we’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  We at A Cake Life are extremely thankful for the love and support you’ve shown us.

Now a few highlights from the past year…

This year alone we created 283 WEDDING CAKES for amazing couples on their special day and 55 BIRTHDAY/EVENT CAKES for people to celebrate with.

Here are a few of our FAV WEDDING CAKES from 2012

and some of our FAV BIRTHDAY & EVENT CAKES from 2012

We participated in several events this year – two of The Wedding Café’s Cake, Cocktails and Catering Workshops, their 11th Anniversary Party and Isle Media’s 1st Anniversary Party.

We have worked with various charities – providing our time, or baked goods for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, Aiea High School 50th anniversary, The Wedding Café’s Adopt a Village, Community Helping Schools, Hawaii H.O.M.E. Project and Women’s Fund of Hawaii.  Below are 2 cake designs we created for the cancer survivors at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life event!  Their theme this year was ‘Rainbow of Nations’.

One of my favorite charitable events was when several wedding vendors, including myself, Leslie from Leslie Fair – Hair Styling & Makeup and Joshua from Fisheye spent the day with some young people battling cancer at the Kapiolani Children’s Hospital.  Eden in Love provided scarves for them, and we taught them how to tie the scarves, and apply makeup for the hair they were losing.  A Cake Life provided the cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.   At The Wedding Café’s 11th anniversary celebration, they provided us with an award for our charitable work with these young children.  We’re excited to continue working with the patients in 2013!

We were also excited to be a part of Pearl City High School Career Fair, and share our passion for business with them.

We survived another tsunami threat, and were super sad for the weddings and birthday parties that had to be cut short because of it 🙁  And also 12-12-12, a very popular wedding day for which we created wedding cakes for 3 amazing couples.

In November, we were thrilled to be part of a wedding cake workshop taught by world-renowned cake and sugarcraft artist, Nicholas Lodge.  Here are some of our pictures from the class!

We were asked to be a part of Hawaii Wedding Professionals, and will hopefully again receive the Best of Weddings awards from the Knot and Wedding Wire.

We launched a new Website, created a Promo Video (courtesy of Isle Media) and were featured in several publications and blogs:

Tropical Oasis (The Frosted Petticoat Blog)

She Walks in Beauty (Pacific Weddings)

All in all, it’s been another wonderful year, thanks to our staff at A Cake Life, fellow wedding professionals and vendors and our awesome clients and fans!  THANK YOU – and we wish you a Happy Holiday Season!  Many blessings and good wishes to you in 2013!

With Warmest Aloha & Mahalo,

Kristin
