A sweet, tart and creamy Hawaiian wedding
cake - whatever cake you want! It's a sweet vanilla pineapple cake topped with
crushed pineapple, dreamy cream cheese and whipped cream.
And
when I say apprentice, I mean I took a couple of days training and then was
hired free to be the cake designer for the entire store. No pressure, right?
The first few weeks were a bit superficial,
but for the most part, I was able to hold on to myself when orders arrived. And
that is until we received an order for 6-layer cake, 26 "10", 6
layers which were all different flavors due to the following day.
Dessert cakes are very simple to decorate,
but most time-consuming part was make all mousses, fillings, & whipped
creams they wanted . I usually kept a good stock of baked cupcakes in the
freezer to pull out and garnish them as wanted , but this time my stock was
totally depleted & I needed to bake cupcakes as well.

Prepare cake according to prepackaged
instructions, using pineapple juice instead of water. Bake in a 9 '' x 13 ''
skillet. Let it cool completely.
Once cool, use a wooden skewer to poke
holes all over the cake.
Spread the drained pineapple on top and set
aside.
In an electric mixer, whisk whipped cream
and sugar until medium hard peaks form and transfer to a large bowl.
In an electric mixer, whisk the soft cheese
until smooth. Add milk slowly a little each time, and beat until smooth between
each addition. Rake sides of bowl much .
When all the milk has been added, mix the
pudding mixture and blend for two minutes. Gently mix the pudding mixture into
the whipped cream, and blend until combined.
Spread the mixture evenly over the top of
the pineapple. Top the cake with toasted coconut, cool and serve!
