ust about every child’s dream is to be surrounded by cakes, cookies and pies. At age 4,
Halekulani Bakery’s executive pastry chef Pauline Lam arrived in California from Singapore. Her uncle brought her to a school car- nival, where she learned of a game called “cake walk,” basically mu- sical chairs, that had a gorgeous chocolate cake as the prize. She had never had a chocolate cake before; cut fruit was the extent of her sweet tooth cravings. Deter- mined to eat that chocolate cake, Lam won the game.You could say she was able to have her cake and eat it, too.
That was more than 20 years ago and, today, she oversees Haleku- lani’s bake shop, which handles all the bakery and dessert production
