What a beautiful, romantic, intimate wedding. And what a stunning couple! Every detail was beautiful. It’s clear you put the same thought and care into all your brides’ weddings as you did for your own.

Hi Jessie,
Mary Catherine’s Bakery in Honolulu made our mini cakes. I think they are bought out by Cake Works now. Google them and you will find it.
