The Frosted Mermaid is currently a home-based cake and dessert studio with a Food Handlers Permit allowed to sell direct to consumer serving the beautiful island of Maui. We also have a commercial kitchen where we make our wholesale cookies. Every cake is created to mark each milestone event in your life. All cakes, cupcakes and desserts are made with a focus on fresh, natural, gourmet, local (when available) ingredients. We limit the number of orders we take each week to focus on providing the best possible experience for your wedding, custom cake or dessert table. It's more than just a cake to us, it's an experience! Cakes are the centerpiece of any special event bringing people closer for more memorable experience.

We look forward to working with you.

We hope to make your celebrations unforgettable! 

Mahalo!
