Celebrating almost fifty years, Hawaiian Happy Cakes have delighted in bringing authentic Hawaiian hospitality to all corners of the world. By combining local macadamia nuts from Hawaii’s Big Island, delicious sweet pineapple, fresh coconut and the finest of baking ingredients, Hawaii’s most famous cake tantalizes taste buds with true Hawaiian flavor.
The Hawaiian Happy Cake story is an important part of Oahu culinary culture. Founder Dick Rodby grew up in Wahiawa surrounded by pineapple plantations where his family established a family restaurant across from Schofield Barracks. ‘Kemoo Farms’ became legendary over the years for its great food and local entertainers such as Charles K. Davis.
In 1967 the Rodby family served the first Happy Cake and soon after order began coming in from all over the country. Shortly thereafter, Kemoo Farms Hawaiian Happy Cakes were being distributed throughout the United States and they have been going strong ever since. Seven years ago, Owen O’Callaghan joined the organization and the business began to develop in new directions.
On the eve of celebrating its forty-fifth birthday, the Hawaiian Happy Cakes continues to respect Dick Rodby’s tradition of using only the finest local ingredients. Today, the cakes are the only authentic Hawaiian pineapple and macadamia cake on the market, and are still carefully crafted and hand baked.
The Happy Cake continues to be shared as a unique Hawaiian gift that brings ‘Aloha’ to those who enjoy it. In fact, customers often relate stories about how a slice whisks them away from cold winters in the East to the sunny shores of Hawaii. Many a honeymoon is remembered and rekindled over a Happy Cake.
