I was trying to find something (anything) about this recipe fpr a Hawaiian Party Cake and there isn’t that much out there. I can find all sorts of cake decorating tips and tricks but only two websites with this style of cake. Is it authentic? Doubtful. I have a feeling that it came about as part of the Hawaii is an exotic place so add some pineapples. (Fun fact- most pineapples now come out of the Philippines, not Hawaii).
