Bowling Alley Bakery - Lemon Drop Crunch Cake

The Alley at Aiea Bowl
Aiea Shopping Center
(next to Dirty Lickins')
486-3499

Ok, nuf already with the chicken wings posts. We ate at The Alley again cause we had one Entertainment Book coupon for buy one entree get one half off...plus we was having our monthly hunger for the tasty chicken. Of all the ono stuffs at The Alley, the Lemon Drop Crunch Cake might be the best. Get one 3-layer version and a 5-layer version too. I not one expert on baked goods, but if I had to describe this cake, I would say it's semi-sweet like Japan style bakery. The cake part is light and moist. The lemon curd cream between the layers is lemony, but not cringing kine lemony. And the toffee bits on top crumble nicely in your mouth. Small kine expensive at about $5 one slice, and worth every penny.

I've used the entertainment coupon to buy a whole cake, which comes in two sizes, at 50% off. Even the smaller cake can be shared by 6-8 people. Its a better deal than 50% off a meal.

we may have to make that

That looks really delicious. We may have to make something like that ourselves. Does it actually have lemon drops in the cake?

Sup Matt! We have that whole cake coupon too and we plan to use it next month to buy a 5-layer lemon drop crunch cake for my bro's b-day. Can't wait. Did you use yours already?

Hi Nate! If you can recreate this cake, I would love to get the recipe. I don't think there's actual lemon drops in the cake, but I not sure if they incorporate it somehow. Maybe they melt down lemon drops to make the lemon curd.

My wife used the coupon earlier this year for the lemon crunch cake. I want to try they're chocolate cake one day. Alley Grill is pretty pricey for Aiea-Pearl City, but they're always busy. Weekend morning parking can be difficult when morning shift bowlers have to complete with McDonalds and Koa Pancake House. Have you tried Ice Garden's shave ice? They're on the second floor. Baldwin's in the Waimalu Shopping Center is pretty good too.

There are so many eateries from Aiea to Pearl City, starting with Dixie Grill, ending with Flamingos that I'd descirbe it as the Leeward side's food court. The Aiea Business Plaza, Pearl Kai, Westridge and Waimalu strip malls are made up of mostly food places. And I'm not counting 49ers, KFC and Boston Pizza or the restaurants in Pearlridge Mall.

I haven't tried their choco cake either, but I will try it next time I go. Judge Yamanoha DNA just told me he likes the pumpkin crunch cake over the lemon crunch. I haven't tried Ice Garden at the Aiea location, but used to eat there almost daily during middle school when it was located at Gibson's in Mapunapuna. The oatmeal shave ice with choco sauce and condensed milk was my fave. Aiea is becoming a Mecca of ono local grinds.

G'day Melanie. That cake is as good as it looks. Unfortunately, I didn't bake this cake and I don't have the recipe. We ordered it for dessert at The Alley, a bowling alley on Oahu. I think Nate might try and recreate it (see his comment above) and if he's successful, maybe he would share the recipe. If you're ever in Hawaii, you might want to try this cake.
