Bake You A Smile Hawaii

I've been a die hard follower of Bake You A Smile. I love her mochi! My friend got me addicted and I needed to have it regularly. My favorite is her kulolo or kulolo haupia. Honestly, everything is so good!She recently moved to the old Aiea Florist location in Aiea. While she is not open everyday, she does have pop ups at her store and at other locations. Follow her on Instagram for the most up to date information on her menu and where you can find where she will be.Her mochi is soft, but it could use more filling. Overall, very consistent.

I was craving mochi and I found out Bake You A Smile was doing a pop-up shop in Aiea, so I went to check it out! There was an array of packaged items ranging from mochi to candy and they all looked so good! Majority of the packages were mixed, which meant there were different flavors/types in one package, so you can try a little bit of everything! One of the packages I decided on getting was their holiday special: the Pumpkin Mix It consisted of macnut pumpkin crunch, pecan pumpkin crunch, pumpkin crunch chantilly and a pecan pumpkin butter mochi. I also got their Peanut Butter Mix, which had a chunky peanut butter mochi, peanut butter brownie mochi, peanut butter oreo mochi and some chi chi dangos!The mochi layer was incredibly fresh and soft with a slight firmness as it gently wrapped around a richly flavored filling! The mochi to filling ratio was perfect, with just the right amount of mochi and filling all in one bite. Blaine was friendly and helpful with what items they provided and what they personally recommended. I wished the same friendliness was reflected on their social media.The pop-up was a little bit difficult to find and they didn't answer my message on where it was located, but I eventually found it and I am thankful I did! Hopefully they start showing pictures of where they are so new customers have an easier way of finding them.

My friend introduced me to this mochi recently and i was hooked. When i found out they were doing the night market at the former Pearl Country Club that's held the last Wednesday of every month from 5 pm i had to come see this company for myself! I got there even before they set up their booth and the line was already really long! that's a testament to how yummy their mochi is. My favorite mochi personally is peanut butter so i got that but they have so many different kinds of mochi, you have to see for yourself!Looks like their waipio kitchen has closed and they found a new kitchen TBD, check out their instagram for the latest updates of where they will be.

Decided to try bake you a smile as they were at two locations on Saturday 8/16 (Nordstrom and for a Maui fundraiser at American flooring). I opted for the nordstrom location since it was closer to me. They were located on the first floor and had a short line. Payment was either by cash or venmo. I got 3 items and it came out to around $30 for all 3 items.The owner could have been a little friendlier, but maybe thats just her personality. There was a handful of different types of mochi laid out on the table and you just tell them which one you want and they'll pack it for you - They ended up packing me the wrong item and i only noticed when i got home. I didnt pay much attention when i was there since i was distracted with trying to venmo them and holding my dog at the time. I tried to message them on instagram to let them know but they did not respond back but looked at the message. They even posted several times throughout the day and said it was a slow day for them on instagram but yet they did not even respond back to my message if i'm able to swap out the mochi for the correct one and drive all the way back to the mall. No one at my house eats peanut butter and luckily no one has a peanut allergy either. Luckily i was meeting some friends that night and just gave it away. The mochi texture itself is on the softer side, but theres more mochi than filling. It could probably last a few days without getting hard. I also got some of the assorted butter mochi but the crusted/top parts of the mochi was a little soft/soggy. 0 stars for customer service and 3 stars for the mochi itself. It's decent and worth a try.

The best mochi! So soft and tasty! My other 2 favorite items are the kulolo mochi rice and the haupia ice cream with kulolo, cocomacnut brittle and mochi. Oh man *chefs kiss*. My husband also loves the puffies. You really can't go wrong with anything they make!

Your one stop shop for your mochi craving! This place is located behind Costco Waipio, across from Hopaco! It's best to follow them on IG @bakeyouasmile to find out when their next pop up is! This is actually their commercial kitchen where all the yummy mochi is made. They pop open a tent in their parking lot to sell their stuffed chi chi dango, butter mochi, & infamous kulolo rice with haupia and mochi balls!I've been coming here since the pandemic began for all my mochi cravings! They're always coming up with new mochi and butter mochi flavors and everything I've tried has been so good!!Here are some things I've tried:1. Ube Oreo Butter Mochi with ube chi chi dango stuffed with Oreo cream cheese combo ($7). If you love ube and Oreo, this combo is for you!2. Brownie butter mochi with brownie cheesecake stuffed chi chi dango ($7). Literal brownie baked onto butter mochi! And can't go wrong with brownie & cream cheese stuffed into soft chi chi dango. 3. Peanut Butter Oreo stuffed chi chi dango ($7 for 3 giant pieces) This is the newest creation and it's so good!! I love pb and Oreo and together it's amazing! The crunchy bites of Oreo with the creamy pb... mmm..4. Lilikoi Butter Mochi ($6 for 4 pieces) you can really taste the lilikoi in this one! It's sweet and tangy!5. Kulolo Mochi Rice with haupia & mochi balls ($7). This is what everyone comes here for. I finally caved and decided to try it. I must say, I get the hype! The kulolo rice is nice and sticky and flavorful, the haupia sauce is sweet and coco nutty, and the mochi balls just adds a chewy soft texture. Definitely a mouthful of flavor!6. Seasonal Pumpkin Mochi: during the fall season, they offer pumpkin treats such as pumpkin crunch stuffed chi chi dango and pumpkin biscoff butter mochi. If you love pumpkin, definitely be on the look out for those 2 specials!Overall, I haven't tried anything I didn't like from here! Their mochi & butter mochi stay soft even when kept in the fridge for a couple of days!

The best mochi ever!!! Bake You a Smile does put a smile on your face as you bit into the soft chichi mochi filled with a chocolate covered strawberry, kulolo, kulolo and Haupia, peanut butter, sweet potato , etc. they also have butter mochi flavors which are sooooo delicious as well. You will crave for these treats because you have to plan to get them. The treats are not readily available at your neighborhood market. They are only available at scheduled events such as the Night Market at Pearl Country Club, Kamakana Ali'i Wednesday market, and Nordstrom OR by order via instagram!

We just went to the pearl country club night market and decided to take a chance and stand in a long line. We waited for an hour but it was absolutely worth it!!! The owner was so sweet and the mochi is so so soft! She said she bakes for 12 hours starting at midnight so the mochi will be super fresh. Would 100% get again!

Just love their different types of mochi. Also they also have other desserts. And the workers are very friendly.

Best mochi ever! I tried the variety pack and loved every one. The owner was so nice and explained all of the different flavors. I plan to give them as Christmas gifts.
