Specialty Cakes

Handmade Specialty Cakes on the Island of Hawaii

 
secret ingredient is love

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! Wholistic Pantry by Nadine is a wholesome Micro Bakery specializing in Artisan Cakes & Treats for all occasions and all dietary needs.

I'm passionate about traditional baking that aims to balance sweetness with flavor and texture. I do offer a small selection of Vegan and GF alternatives, but I really find joy in traditional baking the most.

I love creating cakes that not only taste good, but feel good too while highlighting ingredients that are quality, incorporating ancient grains in my bakes, using organic when I can, and always with a exuberant dose of love.

I put intentional time and resources into each of my creations from researching, hand-picking, and acquiring the best ingredients I can find. I pay full price for all my goods and supplies as a home bakery/micro baker and therefore my prices reflect that..

If you value quality, you’re in the right place!

Custom Tiered Wedding Cake

Little things to note…

I like to have creative freedom with each cake design, no cake is ever the same.

My cakes are decorated with home grown flowers or flowers I’ve sourced from local organic growers. I use a mix of edible and non-toxic flowers. I try my best to use natural dyes if using or dyes from companies that are ethical, vegan and kosher friendly. 

I use seasonal ingredients as much as I can, and source ingredients organically and locally when I can. 

This is a home Micro bakery— meaning I do all the baking (from scratch) ordering, sourcing, emailing, cleaning, prepping and decorating.

I’d appreciate a full week's notice for orders. And minimum 3 weeks for all wedding inquires. Any last minute ordering will be subjected to a $50 rush fee.

The pick-up location is in Hawi, North Kohala. To qualify for delivery, orders need to meet a $200 minimum and will be subject to a delivery fee. Click here to review Delivery Fees & Locations.

Common Questions

  • 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.
