Rick Reichart, owner and cake designer at cakelava in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii, has been making cakes for nearly 20 years. His unique and artful wedding cakes, sculpted cakes and celebration cakes have generated a loyal following since cakelava opened in 2005. Having both a background in pastry and fine art, Rick’s distinct artistic style has caught the attention of television, print and internet media. cakelava was showcased as a “Stories of Success” in American Cake Decorating Magazine in 2007, just two years after Rick and his wife Sasha opened the business.

Rick’s cake designs have been in People Magazine, Wedding Style Magazine, Your Wedding Day, The Bride and Bloom, Get Married, South Asian Bride, as well as local wedding magazines, newspapers and internet sites. cakelava is a member of the TLC Cake Crew, an exclusive group of baking bloggers invited by the network to participate as an authority in their field. Most recently Rick’s cake designs will be featured in an upcoming issue of Cake Central Magazine, in addition to a book of decorated cakes to be released later this year.

After frequent invitations to compete on Food Network Challenge, Rick took the plunge in 2009 with the “SpongeBob Birthday Cakes” Challenge. He has been invited back several times since and plans to compete again in the future.

Rick who is originally from New Jersey, received his formal pastry training at Baltimore International College School of Culinary Arts. Working first as a Pastry Chef and then as a Cake Designer, Rick’s most valuable training happened on the job as he worked alongside some of Los Angeles’ most notable cake designers, Elin Katz at Rosebud Cakes and Joan Spitler at Cake Divas. He spent several years in Seattle making cakes before moving back to Los Angeles and then to Hawaii with his wife Sasha to open cakelava, and has been enjoying life in Paradise ever since.
