Thanks Jen for posting a Yelp review and pics of these delicious cakes from Maui Pastry. I am a huge fan of Japanese cheesecakes, pastries and desserts, so I was super excited to try these goodies. This isn't a traditional store front, so your options for purchase are to follow Maui Pastry on instagram and see the pop up cakes and desserts of the day that you can purchase individual slices or pieces. If you want to order something else that's advertised, you need to put in a 5 day advance order and purchase the whole cake. I happened to miss the days of pop up options, and was already sold with going off the pics. Since we love matcha, white chocolate and strawberry shortcake, we decided to just order two cakes for my upcoming birthday so we could share with family.
Ordering via text was super easy. The directions for location and pick up were on point and cakes were ready at specified time. Payment can be made via cash, check or Venmo. Ayumi was super sweet and her cakes were delicate and beautifully decorated. The strawberry shortcake had a light spongy cake, super light whipped cream and lots of fresh, sweet strawberries in the layers. Japanese desserts are the perfect balance of not being heavy or too sweet. They make you want to eat more, without feeling guilty. The match green tea and white chocolate mousse cake was amazing! This is a light mousse and the texture was so smooth and the taste was so delicious. The combination of matcha and white chocolate was perfectly matched. We are fans of Maui Pastry and plan on purchasing more cakes. Thanks for making my covid birthday memorable! read more
