As a friend put it, I waved the magical baking wand again for my daughters’ 6th birthday celebration. An Encanto-inspired affair featuring evocative purples and pinks a la Isabella!

After a year of handcrafting beautiful floral buttercream cakes, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support and trust in my cake artistry. It's been an absolute joy to create edible works of art for each of you.

Yet a new chapter beckons; a creative endeavor that demands my full attention and dedication. To ensure the quality and focus every Laurel moment deserves, I've decided to temporarily close my cake orders.

This journey of floral buttercream artistry has been nothing short of transformative, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be a part of your special celebrations.

Rest assured, dear friends, this is not goodbye but rather a ‘see you later’.

An ethereal moment for a baby boy’s baptism.

Many hours (and premium ingredients) go into creating a luxury floral buttercream cake - intentional design and meticulous attention to detail every step of the way. Indeed, there’s edible artwork at the end but it’s that beautiful moment with the customer that takes the cake! Like the mom who said she felt goosebumps when she saw this cake for the first time. Joyous gratitude.

This line from a D H Lawrence poem comes to mind: “And if, as we work, we can transmit life into our work, life, still more life, rushes into us to compensate, to be ready and we ripple with life through the days.” And that’s why my baking will forever be a labour of love.
