Even if I hadn't tasted them side by side, I would have been so disappointed if I had bought this one on its own. $21 and it is mostly chocolate. The chocolate on the top and bottom is very thick and sweet. The filling is the worst. The kadaifi/kunefeh wasn't crispy like the bars that I had it was only slightly crispy. The major problem was that there was barely any pistachio spread. It was so DRY. Very stingy with the filling and spread. Not worth your time or money. I see that a lot of vendors were capitalizing off this viral food trend but don't do it if you can't do it right.

There is a reason Laiza has solid 5 star reviews! I placed a very last-minute order during the busy…read moreholiday season when no other custom sugar cookie company would take my request. Laiza not only accommodated me, but she was also incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The cookies she delivered for my mom's retirement party (in the shape of a tooth for my mom's career as a dental hygienist) were absolutely adorable and made perfect party favors. They were a huge hit! So many guests asked where I got them. The drive to Ewa was completely worth it. I highly recommend Laiza for custom cookies.

Pan as in Japanese for bread NOT a frying pan…read more Incredible Japanese bready, carby treats so good you'll think you're in the motherland. Fresh baked, individually packaged and sold from a small stall at a farmers market. A mochi and azuki an pan, approaches the quality of Kimuraya in Ginza, the inventor of the anpan and a must visit if going to Tokyo. A soft but toothsome Japanese roll is filled with a piece of neutral tasting mochi and not too sweet, silky smooth red bean paste. Equally good their azuki filled butter roll. The soft, buttery bread and light sprinkling of sea salt makes the gently sweetened azuki paste sing. Savory items impress with the kare pan (curry pan) being the best example I've tried outside Japan. The bread, gently sweet and toothsome with the perfect crisp fry in very clean oil. The curry filling bursting with flavor. Offered mild or spicy. Either way, you'll wish you bought more than one. Finally, they don't shy away from heat. A jalapeño, cheese sausage roll brought the kick, filled with finely diced jalapeño running through the roll. Great combo of flavors. Inexpensive. Most sweet items $3, savory items $4. Very friendly service. Pearlridge farmers market on Saturday. Windward farmers market on Wednesday. Three weeks in a row. Destination worthy.

The pictures looked so good, it was hard to decide. We ended up ordering the Ube Crumble and Lilikoi Panipopo. Once we submitted our order, we received a quick response. Our order was made fresh, the bread was soft and the coconut sauce was definitely dreamy. I should've ordered extra coconut sauce‍. Both desserts were delicious but not too sweet. That ube drizzle and oreo made me lick my spoon. My wife loved the lilikoi panipopo. It had just the right amount of lilikoi. In fact, both were even better the next day. Just popped them in the microwave for 15 seconds. Yummmmm...... Can't wait to try the other items on the menu. I highly recommend placing an order. You won't be disappointed.

I used their website to get a quote on a 6in cake with green leaves and flowers. The pictures I sent in for reference weren't really as detailed what I wanted but thought they were cute. I received an email with my quote about 2 days later and was sent an invoice once confirmed I wanted to purchase. I picked up my cake the day before our celebration and WOW she did amazing!! I didn't expect it so be so detailed and have so much beautiful additions to it. Now for the taste... BEST cake I've ever had. Yes, really! My family was so impressed and some that don't even like cake ended up eating an entire slice (Mom wanted vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream). The frosting was sooo light and soft, I loved that it wasn't overly sweet like most frostings. The cake itself was so moist and flavorful. It was just perfect! I can't rant and rave enough at how impressed on the taste. It was almost too beautiful to eat, but we definitely ate that beauty up! Highly recommend this cake studio and I will definitely be ordering here for future celebrations. Thank you so much!! Highly recommend and would give 10 stars if I could.

Classic heart cookies The heart cookies were good..and a little too easy to eat. You can pop one in your mouth and before you know it you are reaching for another. The cookies are light and flaky, soft and crispy at the same time. The filling is delicate but goes perfectly with the cookie. The mixed pack of cookies was also good. The dulce de Leche cookie was delicate and delicious. The cheesecake cookie was rich and decadent. The Nutella cookie was my favorite....it had nice intense flavor! The mini cheesecakes were also interesting. The creme brulee was my favorite of everything! That Crispy sugar top with the creamy inside....so amazing...I immediately wanted another! The dulce de leche cheesecake was interesting...there were a lot of flavors going on...not sure what to think! The cream cheese brownies were good but it was a little hard to compare them to the rest of the items because they were definitely less sweet. I should have started with the brownies!
