Testimonials
  • Asia truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Her desserts are not only delicious but beautiful as well. When my husband and I first met her to discuss our wedding cake, she was extremely personable, and through our conversation we were able to build an idea for a geode cake. My husband and I hadn't even considered this but were so excited by the idea and Asia went above and beyond in researching, sketching, and developing an approach to make it happen. And make it happen she did, the result was beyond our wildest dreams, it was a masterpiece and if it hadn't tasted so amazing we would have felt bad eating it! I can not recommend Mahealani Pastries enough, Asia is talented and passionate about her work and it is a true pleasure working with her.

  • We cannot say enough wonderful things about Asia (Mahealani Pastries)! From start to finish, Asia was an absolute dream to work with! She was incredibly creative, patient, and truly passionate. We came to her with a few ideas and she turned them into something even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The cake was a showstopper. Elegant! Unique! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it or photographing it. Asia made sure the cake and table set up matched our vision perfectly. She went above and beyond by contacting our other vendors (florist and venue) to make sure the colours, flowers and style would work. And the taste? Absolutely divine! We had so many guests come up to us raving about how delicious it was (and going back for seconds!). Asia took the time to really understand our vision and made the entire process feel effortless. If you're looking for someone who not only makes cakes that taste incredible but also looks like edible art, we couldn’t recommend her more highly. She was a huge part of what made our day so special. Thank you for everything! 💕

  • I had always considered myself someone that "didn't really care about wedding cake" - that was, until I had this experience. I cannot imagine not having my cake as a centerpiece at the dinner or having my family and I get to enjoy it. Asia was absolutely incredible. Not only did she work with me to figure out what I wanted from my cake and my budget, but she made an absolute work of art that I wish I could have immortalized behind glass. She even hand-made edible flowers that looked astoundingly real and worked with my florist to do a wonderful display with my flowers. It was *gorgeous*. And maybe even more importantly, it tasted sooooo gooooood. It was a gluten free cake as my mom has celiac disease. Throughout the night, my niece and nephews kept going back for mor because they simply could not get enough - until we realized we ate it all. I have not had a cake that looked like or tasted as incredible as the one Asia made for my wedding, and I am doubting I ever will again. She is incredibly talented, and on top of that she is kind, sweet, and an absolute pleasure to get to know. I was so lucky to work with her for my wedding, and everyone who gets to in the future is lucky to experience her talent as well.

  • I am a wedding planner and have worked with Asia on a dessert table back in April. We had a very specific design aesthetic we wanted to create and Asia was so collaborative in coming up with something beautiful and also very unique. Her cakes and desserts are really luxurious in finish and it all tastes amazing! Asia has a lovely demeanor and is very easy to work with. I continue to recommend her to clients as I know she will deliver and create something very special for my couples.

  • Asia was incredibly attentive and professional throughout the consultation. Her passion for pastry was clear as she spoke to us about our preferences in terms of flavour or pastry type. And from that consultation she put together a selection of desserts which were perfect for us on our wedding day. Each pastry was a masterpiece both in flavour and presentation. Asia’s keen eye for detail was evident in the individually decorated macarons which had mine and my husband’s initials on them, a personal touch we all enjoyed on the day! Her deep understanding of flavour profiles meant the desserts perfectly complimented each other. The Bailey’s Irish coffee macaron was decadent, the hazelnut financier with caramel exquisite, and the rhubarb tartelettes so moreish. It was not long before every single pastry had been eaten by our guests. I would highly recommend Asia to anyone looking for an exceptional pastry chef.

  • I had the absolute pleasure of ordering a raspberry and vanilla cake from Mahealani Pastries, and it was genuinely the best cake we’ve ever had. The flavors were incredible, light, fresh, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The design was stunning, elegant, and exactly what we envisioned. Asia was an absolute dream to work with, professional, kind, and attentive to every detail. She made the whole process so seamless and enjoyable. I can’t recommend Mahealani Pastries highly enough for anyone looking for a beautiful, delicious cake and an amazing experience from start to finish.

  • I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Asia from the very beginning, and my bridal appointments simply wouldn’t be the same without her incredible macarons! Brides and their guests are always raving not only about how beautiful they are, but how they’re the best macarons they’ve ever tasted. Asia’s craftsmanship is truly exceptional. Every creation is made with such passion, creativity, and patience, a true work of art. I wholeheartedly recommend her to all my brides and will continue to do so.
