Wedding in the Sequoias

We recently catered a wedding at the Sequoia Lodge in the Oakland hills.
It was a lovely reception and so nice to be surrounded by nature.
The bride & groom requested Sea Salt Caramel and Red Velvet as their flavors,
our most popular picks. They look so beautiful next to the candlelight.
