The Secret Ingredient is Love
Nadine Loraine is a micro-bakery specializing in artisanal cakes & desserts that feature edible florals, mother grains and local ingredients.
📍 big island of Hawai‘I
Food and craftsmanship have been the guiding thread of my life’s work.
After years immersed in kitchens and cafés around the world, my journey led me from farms in Peru and Canada to food-centered communities in Hawai‘i and New Zealand. Along the way, I honed a deep understanding of ingredients, technique, and the artistry of creating memorable culinary experiences.
For several years, I lived communally, cooking for gatherings of six to fifteen people while traveling between Hawai‘i and New Zealand. These experiences shaped my approach: every meal—and every cake—is an opportunity to connect, celebrate, and create something extraordinary.
Today, my focus is on bespoke cakes and artisanal desserts on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. Each cake is made entirely from scratch, using the highest quality ingredients, and designed as both a culinary delight and a visual centerpiece. My work blends traditional techniques with thoughtful, creative design, ensuring every piece is as memorable as the occasion it celebrates.
Nadine Loraine is the culmination of this journey—a micro-bakery rooted in artistry, intention, and a reverence for flavor, texture, and the beauty of nature. Every creation is a reflection of place, season, and the desire to make life’s celebrations truly unforgettable.
MORE ABOUT THE BAKERY
Each Nadine Loraine cake is a bespoke creation. I work with a high degree of creative freedom, allowing the design to unfold organically— no two cakes are ever the same. This approach ensures that every piece reflects both the season and the occasion it is created for.
My cakes are adorned with homegrown flowers and blooms thoughtfully sourced from local organic growers. I use a curated mix of edible and non-toxic flowers, selected for beauty, safety, and harmony with the overall design.
Whenever color is introduced, I prioritize natural dyes or consciously sourced alternatives from ethical, vegan, and kosher-friendly producers
Ingredients are chosen with the same care as the design. I work seasonally and source organically and locally whenever possible, honoring both quality and freshness.
Nadine Loraine operates as a small, home-based micro bakery. Every cake is made entirely from scratch and personally handled—from sourcing and baking to design and finishing — allowing for an uncompromising level of attention, craftsmanship, and care in each order.

To ensure enough time for communication, sourcing and collecting ingredients, baking, icing and decorating a cake, I require 7-10 days minimum for pressed flower cakes and baker's surprise cakes.
For special request cakes like wedding cakes or tier cakes, I require a 6 week minimum.

I encourage you to place your boxed cake flat in front or behind the passenger seat or in the trunk of your car. Running A/C in your car is also encouraged to keep the cake cool. If driving longer than an hour I also suggest a cooler with flat ice blocks. Be cautious of your sudden stops, starts and sharp turns. I do not recommend placing the cake box on the seats, as the cake won't sit flat and may slide and the box may buckle, same goes for holding it on your lap.
Hawaii is hot and humid, please do not leave your cake out in the heat and direct sunlight. If you're not consuming the cake the day you pick it up, I recommend storing your uncut cake in the fridge in an airtight container. You can keep an uncut cake up to a week for vegan and up to 5 days for all other cakes. Once cut, place leftovers in an airtight container to prevent drying out. You may also freeze cake slices for future treats.
If you’re planning on consuming the cake soon after delivery/pickup it’s okay to leave it out at room temp for a few hours. Avoid extreme heat or full sun. Cake is best eaten at room temperature as the moisture and flavors are best this way.

In order to lock in your cake on the date and time agreed, all payments for cakes are due when order is confirmed by both parties. I do understand that life happens and there is a need to cancel due to unforeseeable circumstances. I allow refunds up to 3 days prior to the cake being delivered/picked up, with the exception for special request cakes, where 10 days is required. After that I don’t give refunds.
For both delivery and pick-up after the cake is handed over, the care and protection of the cake becomes your responsibility. If you choose to pick-up, you agree to assume full liability and responsibility for the condition of the cake once it has been handed over. As noted in the cake care instructions I advise that you follow the instructions on keeping the cake cool, out of sunlight and in the fridge until 20 mins before serving.

Although the Flowers are edible, please note some flowers/herbs will have stems which are not as pleasant to eat. You'll find some are bitter or woodsy flowers and so use your discretion when eating the decorations, a lot of clients remove or eat the soft petals only.
