Kalani Kakes owner shares her island culture with unique cupcake flavors in Sacramento

May is National AAPI Heritage Month and KCRA 3 is featuring stories of people and businesses who are sharing their culture in our communities. One Sacramento area baker says she loves to share her island culture with customers in every bite of her cupcakes. It's all inspired by her favorite movie, "50 First Dates." "I was taught to love and accept and everyone is ohana," said Dena Lumbang, the owner of Kalani Kakes bakery. "I feel like that resonated with me my whole life especially when I meet new people, because of my business," Lumbang said. Her unique flavor cupcake combinations are topped with tropical favorites like lilikoi, guava, or 100% Kona coffee frosting. But you'll also find sweet surprises in each treat.
