Cook by Hitomi

ok! Just call me a lemming. or, just call me a searching Yelper at large. Here is my story: I see a picture by a fellow yelper of a cake that looked absolutely exquisite. So I asked about it and was given the name of the baker and her company. Since that date, I've ordered cakes from her twice. Both cakes were the Mont Blanc chestnut flavor. Hitomi (Owner and Baker) informs me she has other flavors indicating the local folk in Honolulu like her Mango and Passion Fruit flavors. I will try one of those flavors next time I have an occasion to purchase a special cake.As a side bar I learn Hitomi has a store located in the Marco Polo where other baked items are available for purchase. The store has restricted hours so I've yet to get a schedule to stop in however, it is on my hit list for next time I need special gifts. Her store is located in the Marco Polo condominium on Kapiolani Blvd.A definite must try if you haven't already. The cake runs about $50. But a infamous local pies run about $40. Both good, both in a similar price range but entire different styles of baking and flavor...

Hitomi is a home baker who takes online cake orders and operates out of her home. Sometimes, she does popups at Marco Polo, the address on this listing. Please make sure to check her Instagram page @cookbyhitomi to find out popup dates, times, and location! Slices are typically $7.50 a piece, or $7 each if you buy 5+ slices. There are different flavors on rotation every week. From classic chestnut flavor to matcha and Hojicha and mango passion fruit, Hitomi makes every flavor of cake absolutely delicious! With 7 layers, each cake slice is extremely intricate and well designed. You should text or call to place your preorder. You can also custom preorder full cakes. You can choose the flavor and decoration! She does special designs like a bear, bunny, Pikachu, hello kitty... just text or call her to ask! I custom ordered a chestnut flavored bear cake for my graduation and it was not only delicious and beautiful, but also packaged well and came with candles too! Hitomi makes the best Mont Blancs in all of Hawaii!!!
