Introducing our new Polynesian Dancers of Ohana Entertainment....

Aloha Ohana...

It's been over a month since we held Ohana Enterainment's First Audition and we are proud to say that we had a "hu'ihu'i" (cool/awesome) time....

Picture a perfect September day in the village of Wicker Park. The sky is blue and the temperature is cool, but as you enter Ohana's Studio, heat rises like flames of fire. Imagine the excitement, nervousness, and rush the lovely wahines have as they make their way to the 2nd floor to make the cut as part the next Ohana Polynesian Dancer....

The wahines were unaware of what to expect but once the the toere drums starts beating; the hips starts shakin, and boy oh "boe" it was 'on' ! Each and every single one of them holds true talent and beauty to the Polynesian culture. They all danced hard to impress the judges; and may we say it all paid off because we could not pick just one new member but we had to pick them ALL! Ho'omaika'i (Congratulations) to the next generation of Ohana Entertainment.

Welcome the new Wahines of Ohana Entertainment !

Let's Bake a Luau Cake...

In the mood to bake? We were..

Serve this Hawaiian Luau Cake and give everyone a lei to wear while eating it. Talk about this beautiful state while enjoying dessert.

HAWAIIAN LUSCIOUS LUAU CAKE

1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 can (16-oz) mandarin oranges, drained
4 eggs
1 carton (16-oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 can (16-oz) crushed pineapple, drained
1 large box instant vanilla pudding mix

In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, vegetable oil, oranges, and eggs. Pour into the prepared cake pans and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool in pans until cakes will come out easily. Place 1 layer on the serving plate and one on a wire rack.

Mix the whipped topping, pineapple, and pudding mix together. If too thick to spread, add a small amount of the pineapple juice at a time until it reaches spreading consistency. Spread over top of cake layer on the serving plate. Top with the second layer. Spread remaining mixture over the top and sides of the cake.
