You know those baking shows where they have those impressive, huge cakes that somehow, miraculously take on all kinds of different shapes? Well, at Cake Works, those culinary miracles are commonplace. Chef and owner Abigail Langlas is a pro at concocting the towering treats.
After growing up on the Big Island, Langlas attended culinary school in England, before working in France.
And everything at Cake Works certainly is aesthetically pleasing. Those gourmet layered cakes come in a range of flavors and are available for custom orders. And if you order one for a wedding cake, Cake Works’ Wedding Cake Pops ($4-$6) make a nice complement.
“They come decorated as a bride and groom, and bridesmaids and groomsmen,” Langlas says.
The cake pops come in pretty much any of Cake Works’ flavors, such as vanilla, pina colada and chocolate decadence.
While the bulk of Cake Works’ business has always been custom-ordered cakes, its macarons are increasingly popular. The shop’s display case is filled with a colorful collection of macarons — or you can opt for its adorable character cookies, like the Bear-shaped Vanilla French Macarons ($4). Other character macarons include Hello Kitty or minions (character macarons range from $4 to $5).
Cake Works constantly is coming up with new sweet treats — and one of its latest creations is the Neapolitan Marshmallow ($7.95 per bag, five per bag), which features strawberry and vanilla marshmallows drizzled with dark chocolate.
While Langlas honed her skills in European baking, she is dedicated to utilizing local ingredients when possible. That’s why you can find flavors like Kona coffee or strawberry guava for its cakes and macarons.

Christian Bergman (St. Francis High, 2006) starting pitcher, Modesto Nuts: While the former Golden Knight hit a few bumps in the road this year, it was still impossible to deny what a great year it he had. It showed Wednesday when Bergman was named the California League Pitcher of the Year.
He followed that up by winning his league-high 16th game of the year over the Stockton Ports, 5-2. He gave up seven hits, a walk, two runs — both coming on home runs in the second inning — and struck out three through six innings to increase his record to 16-5 and become just the second player to notch 16 wins in the history of the Nuts, the class-A advanced affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, according to the Modesto Bee.
The win clinched a playoff spot for the Nuts in their league’s north division. They were in first place in the division by five games coming into Saturday with a 39-28 record and are 73-64 overall this year.
Wednesday’s performance came after one of, if not his finest, start of the year on Aug. 24. Bergman held the Bakersfield Blaze to two hits and struck out eight through eight innings to pick up his 15th win of the season on a final score of 2-0.
It came on the heels of Bergman’s worst start of the year by far when he gave up 10 runs, nine hits, three walks and two home runs to the Visalia Rawhide Aug. 19.
Through 27 starts, the former Golden Knight is 16-5 with a 3.65 earned-run average. He has four more wins than any other pitcher in his league. He’s also tops in the league in innings pitched (162.2) and tied for third in WHIP (1.22) to go along with 121 strikeouts this year.
Nik Turley (La Cañada native) pitcher, Tampa Yankees: Turley earned a nod to the Florida State League All-Star team for the Yankees, a class-A advanced affiliate of the New York Yankees, Tuesday. He showed how he earned the honor Wednesday when he picked up his ninth win of the year in a 3-0 win over the Dunedin Blue Jays.
The Harvard Westlake graduate lowered his ERA to a league best 2.89 in the game, as he scattered five hits, walked one and struck out six through 5 2/3 innings. The performance ended a four-game stretch in which Turley had given up at least one run, as he gave up 10 in his past 18 2/3 innings.
Turley’s record sits at 9-5 this year through 21 starts — one of which was a shutout — and he has struck out more than a batter an inning with 116 punch outs in 112 innings.
Just one game back from first place in the second half of the Florida State League North Division coming into Saturday, the Yankees (35-31) are looking to make a push into the playoffs after taking fourth in the first half of the season.
Eric Smith (La Cañada High, 2009) catcher/designated hitter, Ogden Raptors: Only one Raptor was named to the Pioneer League All-Star squad this year. While it may not have been Smith, he was still rewarded with an honorable mention Aug. 25 because of what he’s produced in his first minor league season.
The former Spartan showed he deserved consideration Wednesday when he went four for five with a home run, double and five runs batted in for Ogden, a rookie affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, in a win over the Orem Owlz. The catcher smashed a bases-clearing double to center field in the top of the fourth to give the Raptors a 5-0 lead and added a two-run bomb in the eighth for an 18-2 lead.
Smith has put up impressive numbers this season. He ranks first in the league in sacrifice flies (six), third in batting average (.342) and fifth in triples (seven), which is also the second most in team history. He needs just two more to set the all-time team record.
The Raptors have also enjoyed a fine season. They were in first place in the second half of the Pioneer League’s South Division season coming into Saturday with a 19-13 record after they’d already wrapped up a playoff spot by winning the first half of the season with a 21-17 record.
Kevin Thompson (La Cañada High, 2006) shortstop, Ogden Raptors: Thompson had an impressive game along with Smith Wednesday when he went two for five with a RBI.
It was the former Spartan’s first hit in nine days, as he’s seen limited action so far this season and appeared in 28 of 69 games. In that span he is hitting .211 (20 for 95) with 13 RBI, 13 runs, five doubles, five stolen bases and a home run.
FREDERICKTOWN — After opening their regular season at home on Tuesday against the Lady Freddies, the Northmor Lady Golden Knights made the bus trip to Fredericktown for game two of the series.
Despite a late-inning push, Northmor would drop their second straight contest with the hosts, falling by a final score of 7-4.
Fredericktown posted two runs in the home-half of the first to take the early lead. The Knights cut the score to 2-1 after plating a runner in the top of the third, only to see the Freddies tack on a run in the bottom of the frame. Fredericktown would put the game away with three runs in the bottom of the fourth despite Northmor scoring three in the top of the sixth.
Megan Adkins took the loss in the circle, pitching the entire six innings and giving up eight hits and seven runs (three earned) while walking one and striking out one. At the dish, Adkins recorded a single and drove in one of the four Northmor runs.
The Lady Freddies scored their seven runs on eight hits, committed four errors and stranded six on the base path in the victory while the Lady Knights plated four runs on just three hits, finished with six errors and left 11 runners on base.
Other offense for Northmor on Wednesday: Rylee Hollingsworth- 3B, R, 3RBI; Morgan Wiseman- R; Rosie Sklenicka- 2R; Michalea Zeger- 1B, R and Maddie Hoverland- SB.
Northmor will pick back up in Knox-Morrow Athletic Conference play, at home, against the Danville Lady Blue Devils on Monday, April 1 before traveling to Danville on Tuesday.
MARION — After starting the season at 2-0, the Galion Lady Tigers dropped their second straight meeting with Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference foes, the Pleasant Lady Spartans, on Wednesday by a final score of 9-6.
Galion is set to host the Mohawk Lady Warriors of the Northern-10 Athletic Conference for a doubleheader on Saturday, March 30. MOAC play will pick back up for the Lady Tigers on Tuesday, April 2 when they head to Caledonia for a clash with the River Valley Lady Vikings.
NORTH ROBINSON — The Colonel Crawford Lady Eagles opened their N-10 schedule on Wednesday by hosting the Upper Sandusky Lady Rams.
Unfortunately for the Eagles, they would find themselves on the wrong end of a 19-1 score, falling to 1-2 overall on the season.
Crawford is set to head to Crestline on Saturday, March 30 for a non-conference doubleheader against the winless Lady Bulldogs. On Monday, April 1, the Lady Eagles will play host to league foes, the Carey Lady Blue Devils.
PLYMOUTH — The trip to Plymouth to square off against the hosting Lady Big Red did not prove to be a fruitful one for the Crestline Lady Bulldogs softball squad as they dropped their third straight game to begin the season 0-3; 10-0.
Crestline will now be on their home turf for their next three contests as they host the Colonel Crawford Lady Eagles in a doubleheader on Saturday before welcoming the Lucas Lady Cubs to town for a Mid-Buckeye Conference clash on Monday, April 1.
GALION — The Northmor Lady Knights finally got their season underway on Tuesday when they played host to the Fredericktown Lady Freddies.
It would not be the start that Northmor was hoping for as they were shutout by their guests in a shortened contest; 11-0.
The home team managed just two hits on the day and committed six errors in the field while the Freddies scored their 11 runs on 11 hits, despite stranding six runners on base.
Lily Tate and Hollingsworth had the two knocks for the Golden Knights, a double and a single, respectively.
Adkins was dealt the loss, going just two innings while allowing six earned runs while walking and striking out a pair. Hollingsworth worked four innings, gave up the remaining three runs and struck out one while walking a hitter.
GALION — The Galion Lady Tigers and the Pleasant Lady Spartans found themselves competing in a marathon game on Tuesday as the two squads battled it out for 10 innings before the visiting Spartans eventually claimed the win; 2-1.
GREENWICH — After dropping their season opener on Monday to Plymouth, the Lady Eagles softball team traveled to Greenwich for another non-conference meeting, this time against the Lady Trojans of South Central.
Crawford would earn the road victory, defeating their hosts by a final tally of 7-5 to give first-year coach Sarah Gray her first victory as the leader of the black and yellow.
BUCYRUS — On Tuesday, the Crestline Lady Bulldogs made the short bus trip to Bucyrus for a non-conference meeting with the hosting Lady Redmen.
The Lady ‘Dogs would find themselves shutout on the day as Bucyrus claimed the 15-0 victory.

MINNEAPOLIS — Derek Peterson admits to not knowing a whole lot about the Austin Packers, his team's first-round state opponent Wednesday.
"I've seen them just one time and that was in my living room (Sunday) night," he said.
But the Sauk Rapids boys basketball coach is impressed with what he does know.
"They pressure you," Peterson said. "They trap you. They want you to panic.They want you to go fast. We need to be mindful of that and not fall into that trap."
Austin (26-2) plays Sauk Rapids (21-8) at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Williams Arena in the state Class 3A quarterfinals.
The second-seeded Packers took second in the state last year, losing 72-44 to Minneapolis DeLaSalle in the final. The top-seeded Islanders are also back in the tournament. Austin beat Fergus Falls 58-49 last year in the quarterfinals, then defeated Marshall 73-53 in the semifinals.
The Packers are led by Duoth Gach, a 6-foot-5 small forward/shooting guard. He averages 16.3 points per game for a team that would prefer to run-and-gun. He's a 1,000-point scorer and a Minnesota Basketball All-Star Series selection, as is Sauk Rapids' Cody Landwehr.
"What surprised me about them is how many three-pointers they take," Peterson said.
Junior guard Medi Obang made a school-record 10 threes in an 88-39 win over Albert Lea on Feb. 24. Gach, senior forward Moses Issa and senior point guard Tate Hebrink will all shoot threes if left open. Gach and Hebrink have each hit nine three-pointers in a game.
"They're the real deal," Peterson said. "They're very athletic and very fast."
And it's not just lately that Austin has been strong. The Packers have a storied basketball history.
Austin is making its 31st state appearance, the first coming in 1913. The Packers went from 1982 to 2012 without a state berth, but have made five since then, including two in a row. They took second in 2013, '14 and '17.
Austin won state championships in 1935, '46 and '58. The Packers also took second in 1923, '55, '60, '72 and '81.
Sauk Rapids, meanwhile, is in its first state tournament since 2003, when the Storm took second.
Sauk Rapids is led by Landwehr, the 6-foot-7 post headed to Bemidji State on a basketball scholarship. He's 10 points away from setting the school's all-time scoring record held by Kobe Boraas, a 2016 graduate.
The rest of Wednesday's Storm lineup can be characterized as smallish, quick and athletic. Deng Deang, the 6-6 senior, will not play this week because of violating a school rule, Peterson said.
That means seniors Anthony Massman and Nathan Waldorf and juniors Cade Milton-Baumgardner and Braden Tretter must play big. They'll need to rebound well, Peterson said. Austin is good at making the most of second chances.
"It'll be interesting," said Peterson, in his second year as head coach. "I'm excited."
• Storm assistant coaches Jeff Hille and John Kerestes were both members of the 2003 team that took second in the Class 3A tournament, losing to Minneapolis Patrick Henry in the championship, 69-55. Hille is also Sauk Rapids' head baseball coach and double-dipping right now as the Storm practice for the 2018 season.
• Massman is headed to Gustavus Adolphus to play football and possibly baseball.
• Kris Fadness is in his 25th year at Austin and has a 421-236 career record. One of his assistants, Joe Kroc, is a former St. Cloud State baseball player. He is Austin's head baseball coach.
• The winner of the Sauk Rapids/Austin game plays the winner of No. 3 Mankato East and Delano at 2 p.m. Thursday at Target Center. The loser plays the East/Delano loser at 2 p.m. Thursday at Concordia-St. Paul.
• The Storm left Sauk Rapids on Tuesday evening and were staying in the Twin Cities on Wednesday, win or lose.
• The championship is set for 5 p.m. Saturday at Target Center.
My top secret security clearance was revoked due to financial issues from an old business debt that turned into a lawsuit and was subsequently dropped and withdrawn. The debt still technically exists but they just can’t sue for the $80,000. Everything else, including my car and mortgage payments, are current. I disclosed the debt in the process but I was still denied. Do I have any appeal chances? Is my retirement planned for next year also a loss?
You are entitled to due process, and there are strict time limits and several steps in the process. You should explain your situation as part of that process and include documentation. If, at the end of the process, your clearance is denied, there is little to no other recourse.
Good news, clearance was approved after much explanation and paperwork!
Due diligence and referral letters certainly helped.
There is still hope for this country yet!
The railway ministry is examining the possibility of revival of the Ring Railway in Delhi, union minister Rajen Gohain told the Lok Sabha.
The minister said that Delhi Ring Railway cannot be an alternative to the Delhi Metro. At best, it can supplement the suburban rail services at a limited stretch.
He said that for this purpose, a study is being undertaken to look into the role that Ring Railway can play in overall mass rail transit system of Delhi, depending upon the traffic demand, availability of land, scope of commercial development at stations, assessment of infrastructure required and financial viability.
The work for revival of Ring Railway is not sanctioned, he added.
