| Specialty Cakes by Laura... |
| A Bit of History My mother was a "cake lady" back in the 60's and 70's. I remember watching her decorate and showing me how to make a buttercream rose. Mostly it was fun eating the cake scraps and tasting frosting. I never dreamed so many years later I would be following in her footsteps. My beautiful mom is gone now but she was there to see my cakes in the beginning and she was very proud of me. Each cake I make I always ask for her guidance and each one is dedicated to her. |
How I Got Started
As the mother of two small children, it seemed that there was always a need for
cupcakes, either for birthdays or school parties. Wanting to make them a little
more special I began taking the Wilton Cake Courses in 1999. The decorating
came easy to me and I was soon hooked. I love my cake hobby and enjoy
making cakes and cupcakes for friends and family.

Cake Design
Much of my inspiration comes from images I've found on the Internet or other
cake websites, but I will often combine ideas from two or more cakes, making
changes here and there, to ensure my cakes are extra special and memorable.
Many thanks to all who have inspired me!

| Making Cakes I like to think my cakes are extra special and for extra-special occasions. A lot of hours and hard work goes into each one, but I enjoy adding those extra touches to get it just right. When people find out that I make cakes they always ask me if I've seen the show Ace of Cakes, I tell them yes but I'm not a welder! I am more of a traditional cake maker so I don't cover my cakes in fondant, but I do use it for decoration and accents. My favorite website is CakeCentral.com; a fantastic place where other cake artists like myself can go for a multitude of ideas and advice...not to mention a place to post our cake photos and show off a little! |
