Sculpted cakes and edible insect illusions
Ask for a cake with convincingly creepy sugar insects.
A Cake Life / Kristin Kato
Kristin Kato’s Honolulu bakery accepts sculpted-cake commissions for weddings and other occasions. Its dated 2011 portfolio documents a particularly strange birthday centerpiece: hand-painted gumpaste cockroaches on buttercream tiers with cookie-crumb dirt. These are handmade sugar insects, not real bugs; the historical example illustrates the custom-design repertoire rather than a current stock item.
Current location note / listed area: Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii; custom commissions and delivery by arrangement
Confirm whether the team currently accepts the exact unusual design, along with materials, allergens, lead time and delivery. The insect example is dated July 2011, not a guaranteed repeatable package. Match gross-out imagery to the guests and occasion. The bakery is made-to-order rather than a walk-in retailer. A separate specialty-gallery page displayed a database error during research; the linked current shop inquiry page remained readable.
