    Vanilla cake with lillikoi buttercream

    Had a super last minute rush order. She was able to get me a cake for 9am the next morning! Absolutely incredible. The cake was delicious on the inside and outside. Cannot recommend Ariele's kitchen enough. Thank you so much!!! My family will remember this cake for years to come.

    Wedding Anniversary Cake

    Thank you so much for your cake services and for helping us celebrate our wedding anniversary! Very fast replies to inquires and excellent service/delivery to our hotel! We appreciate your hard work and are very thankful to have your cake as part of our celebration! You made it exactly to our specifications and we really appreciate it!

    Ariel is amazing! She has done 3 cakes for us and all I did was send her an inspo photo I got off the web. She definitely "understood the assignment"! Prices are amazing and she even delivered it to our hotel. Cake tasted delicious and everyone enjoyed it. If you are in Maui or going to be visiting to celebrate special occasion do yourself a favor and get your cake from her! You will not be disappointed.

    Celebrating an event (or, just hankering for an incredible sweet treat) while in Maui? We just celebrated my hubby's birthday this past weekend with an incredible key lime pie from Ariele's Kitchen. Ariele was very responsive to my request, so gracious and also happens to be an extremely talented baker (I'm a novice baker myself and really appreciate quality ingredients and beautiful presentation). Thanks, Ariele for making such a wonderful birthday dessert for our family! https://www.arieleskitchen.com

    From our initial communication to delivery, everything was seamless. We ordered the 9" chocolate passion fruit birthday cake which when completed was more like 11" in diameter and 8-9" tall. Incredibly moist and mellow chocolate. Passion fruit cream layer was subtle so neither flavor overpowered the other. Gorgeous ! We'd definitely order again!

    Super glad we found Ariele's Kitchen. We were vacationing in Maui as part of a family birthday celebration, and the cake Ariele baked was the perfect ending to our trip. Ordering is a breeze. Just submit the request form from her website and she gets back to you quickly. All follow-up messages were answered promptly as well, and the final product was exactly what we requested. Price is very reasonable and, most importantly, the cake was delicious. We got the chocolate flavor with vanilla buttercream, and Ariele decorated the cake beautifully with some orchids and perfect piping. Pickup is at a house in Napili, so it's really convenient if you're staying in the area or in nearby Kaanapali.

    Cupcakes!

    Ariele's Kitchen has my highest recommendation. We visit Maui each year to celebrate family. Our friends recommended Ariel's for a birthday. We ordered several dozen cupcakes and several dozen cookies. We had the following cupcakes: red velvet, funfetti, carrot cake cream cheese, oreo vanilla, and likikoi coconut. Amazing - our favorite was the carrot cake cream cheese because the icing was outstanding. Kids favorite was Oreo vanilla. Cookies - chocolate chip was the favorite. The kids finished the cookies in one day! Mahalo for making our family celebration special. We plan to order again!

    Her frosting is too hard :(. Her design is nice as I requested and it made my day. It's too sweet, frosting is too hard that I can't even bite well. I wish it wasnt like this and was able to eat. I tried to eat it without frosting but it was too sweet.

    Mother's Day goody-box
    That One Girl L.

    Ariele is my go to for all things custom & delicious! I've ordered 3 custom birthday cakes from her over the last few years and all have exceeded expectations. Ordering from her is so quick and easy and she's so responsive and helpful. The cakes are meticulously designed, and are always so moist & delicious. She also does holiday boxes throughout the year. I've ordered her Mother's Day one and valentines one. Both were phenomenal. Loaded with macaroons, a variety of cookies and chocolate covered strawberries- for an extremely reasonable price, you can't go wrong! She's able to customize for dietary restrictions too, and crafted the most amazing vegan cake with fairly short notice. She isn't all sweet though. Her savory pot pies, tamales, baklava and other weekly specials are all on point. If I could give her 10 stars I would.

    Six layer birthday cake with whale theme

    My hubby and I celebrated my birthday in Maui this year. He surprised me with a cake by Ariel and it was perfection! He ordered the white cake with buttercream frosting and a lemon custard filling. He requested a whale themed as this was our bucket list trip to see the whales! The cake was darling and truly a work of art! If you love buttercream you must try one of Ariel's cakes!! It was so delicious and fresh! We will be seeing Ariel for any special occasions in the future!

    Ariele is such an artist when it comes to cakes! She beyond delivered on our wedding cake! Our wedding cake with real flowers was executed to perfection. The taste and visual appeal was more than what we envisioned! Thank you for making our dream wedding cake! Mahalo!

    We live in a California so I searched bakeries in Maui. We needed a small wedding cake for my daughter's elopement. She wanted a heart cake. We corresponded over email and everything turned out perfectly! It was exactly what she wanted and it was absolutely delicious. The price was very reasonable.

    Gorgeous cake! Amazing attention to detail! Made a last minute order happen!! Highly recommend! Reasonably priced! Thank you Ariele!

    I've known Chef David for over 30 years. We met when we were 14 years old, long before there was…read moreever a Papi's Ohana Bakery. I still remember when he was barely old enough to work. He got a job alongside his older brother, Francisco, in a small warehouse in Hayward, CA, baking pastries with both Francisco and his twin brother, Nano--the apple and cherry strudels, turnovers, pies, and other treats that eventually made their way into grocery store bakery cases. Even back then, it wasn't just a job to him. It was something he genuinely loved. That passion followed him through years of working in the Safeway bakery and continued to grow with every loaf, pastry, and dessert he made. Years later, David and his family made the courageous decision to leave California, where we grew up together, and follow God's calling to Lahaina. As a lifelong friend, watching that leap of faith blossom into Papi's Ohana Bakery has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Knowing the story behind the name makes it even more special. Papi's honors both the memory of his late father and his Heavenly Father, making this bakery so much more than just a business. It's a legacy of family, faith, and love. It's incredible to see how something that started more than 30 years ago has become such a beautiful blessing for him, Linda, and their family. As proud as I am of David, I can honestly say this isn't just about friendship--the cinnamon rolls are hands down the best I've ever had. And yes, I know I'm his friend, but I'd tell anyone the exact same thing after one bite. They're worth every bit of the hype. Living 2,500 miles apart now, I don't get to see him as often as I'd like, but this visit has shown me just how special this place is. From the incredible food to the warm hospitality, you can feel the heart, faith, and hard work that have been poured into every detail. If you're visiting Maui, do yourself a favor and make Papi's Ohana a stop on your itinerary. Grab a cinnamon roll, meet Chef David and his wonderful wife, Linda, and you'll quickly understand why this bakery has become so loved. They also have fresh baked Scones, stuffed croissants with options from linguica, spam and ham and cheese. They also have pizza during later hours. They are an amazing team, and it's a blessing to see what God has done through their faith, perseverance, and dedication. I have no doubt the best is still ahead for them. Congratulations, my friend. Watching this dream become reality has been an honor, and I couldn't be happier for you.

Right next to the Ulani shaved ice so you'll probably visit the location more than once a day!

    The Legendary Malasadas A true Portuguese-Hawaiian style…read moremalasada is a work of art, and Sugar Beach nails it. Unlike standard donuts, theirs are fried to a perfect golden crisp on the outside while staying unbelievably fluffy, light, and pillowy on the inside. The Passion Fruit (Lilikoi) Magic: Tasting that tart, bright, tropical lilikoi burst against the sugary, warm dough is unforgettable. It cuts right through the richness of the pastry perfectly. Freshness First: Because they open bright and early at 6:00 AM, getting them warm means you are catching them at peak texture--crisp, airy, and meltingly soft. Mouth-Watering Savories & Pies It's rare for a bakery to completely master both ends of the spectrum, but they strike an incredible balance between decadent sweetness and rich, savory comfort: The Quiche: Getting a morning slice with a perfectly flaky, buttery crust and a rich, velvety egg custard is the ultimate savory breakfast comfort. The Key Lime Pie: A masterclass in balance. The sharp, refreshing pucker of the lime curd pairs flawlessly with a thick, buttery graham cracker crust, making it the ultimate mid-day or post-beach treat. The Croissants: True to artisan form--shattered layers on the outside, a rich, tender, airy web of butter on the inside. The Ultimate Beachside Vibe What truly seals the memory is the pure sense of place. It's a quintessential "cute little bakery"--unassuming, warm, and hyper-focused on quality. Being located right across from the beach means your morning walk isn't just an errand; it's an experience. Holding a warm box of malasadas and a fresh coffee while looking out at the ocean is pretty much peak relaxation. Just remember the golden rule of the neighborhood to avoid heartbreak: they take Sundays off, making Monday mornings all the sweeter when those doors swing open at 6:00 AM again! Service was awesome . Staff was very attentive

I hired Cravings Bakery on Maui through my wedding concierge from my venue. We sampled a few flavors and were pleased with the taste so we decided to move forward with them as our selection. I sent a picture of the exact cake I wanted and was told they could recreate it no problem. Closer to the wedding I again emailed them about specifications which were again confirmed. When entering the reception I initially saw my cake and was heartbroken. It looked absolutely nothing like my cake. They used fake flowers instead of sugar flowers (or real flowers in the least) and the cake looked cheap overall. After the wedding I tried to contact them to rectify this issue and voice my concerns and was ignored. I sent a total of 3 emails to the same address previously used and the one that is on their website. I even filled out the feedback form on the website. I have still not heard anything back from them. They have terrible customer service and follow up. They got paid and have since given me the run around not caring if their client is satisfied. I would not recommend them to anyone, more so based on their lack of professionalism than anything else. Comment from Patricia P. of Cravings Bakery Business Owner 11/3/2014 Aloha, This sounds absolutely unacceptable for any business. I truly did not have a Heather B. (or any other last name within a year before this comment came out). I truly apologize to Heather for how her cake turned out & a negative memory.The only Japanese garden I did was the cover photo for my website. I know that the couples special day comes with lifetime memories, I would never want or need to be a negative memory and I strive to be the best I can be in all aspects of life. I've been decorating for 30 plus years and have not had a bad review. Actually, starting in February 2012, I was working at Whole Foods Market (full time) and closed the bakery to retail customers, only filling wholesale orders . I would Love for Heather to contact me, no matter how long it took me to find this.. Thank you for your feedback. Pat Pimentel I stand by my review and am appalled that she is trying to play it off like I was never her customer. I would like my money back then if you are claiming such! The website I used originally to order my cake and for subsequent communication is the same so unless ownership has changed this was in fact your establishment who provided me service (can I really call it service when it was so sub par?) My wedding was not in a Japanese garden, that was never mentioned. I would love to contact you Pat, but my experience trying to contact you for months after the incident via phone, email and your website proves ineffective. I, to this day still cannot believe how bad my cake turned out. I have attached a picture of the cake I wanted (on the left) and the poor excuse for a cake I received on the right. I think it speaks volumes. How do you even get away with using FAKE flowers in a location like Maui?

Their Pineapple Cream is made with simple ingredients, and you can absolutely taste the difference. They offer a variety of island inspired flavors, which made it tough to choose because everything sounded delicious. Unfortunately, we didn't discover this place until our last night in Maui.
