Pro Tips for Perfect Hawaiian Wedding Cake:

  1. Do Not Drain the Pineapple: Using undrained pineapple keeps the cake moist and adds flavor.
  2. Smooth Frosting: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a silky, smooth frosting.
  3. Gentle Folding: Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture carefully to keep the frosting light.
  4. Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool thoroughly before frosting to prevent the topping from melting.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerating the cake allows the flavors to meld beautifully and makes slicing easier.
