Celebrating Citrus Delights & Youthfulness : Cakes By Laura's Handcrafted Masterpiece
When it comes to creating show-stopping cakes that not only tantalize taste buds but also captivate the eye, Cakes By Laura in Melbourne is your go-to artist baker. Recently, Laura had the pleasure of crafting a one-of-a-kind cake that perfectly embodied the vision of her client for her daughter's 21st birthday celebration.

Here's the scoop on how this vibrant and delectable masterpiece came to be:

The Client's Vision
The client approached Laura with a clear vision in mind – a cake that would seamlessly blend with the party's color palette and styling while standing out as a point of difference. No vague requests here; she knew exactly what she wanted. She specified her color preferences, opting for a refreshing citrus theme with freeze-dried passion fruit and lemon flavors. It was the kind of creative challenge that gets Laura’s imaginations running wild!

Crafting a Unique Design
Laura believes that a cake should be a reflection of the occasion and the person it's celebrating. For this 21st birthday celebration, she drew inspiration from the quilling technique, which involves intricate paper rolling and shaping. The result? A visually stunning cake adorned with delicate combinations of fresh and dried flowers and a burst of citrusy colors. It was a representation of the freshness and vibrancy of a young woman stepping into her twenties.

Matching Cookies for All
To add an extra layer of sweetness to the celebration,  Laura decided to create matching cookie favors for all the guests. This ensured that the theme was not only consistent but also extended to every partygoer. The cookies echoed the same citrusy color palette and floral motifs, tying the entire dessert spread together beautifully.

The "Wow" Moment
Laura’s says “Delivery day arrived, and I personally set up the cake on its plinth, carefully positioning it as the centerpiece of the celebration. As I stepped back and took in the scene, it was a moment of pure satisfaction. The cake not only met but exceeded the client's expectations, and it was impossible not to say to myself, "Wow, I nailed it!".

The Sweetest Feedback
The true measure of  Cakes By Laura’s  success lies in the smiles and satisfaction of our clients. In this case, our client's words said it all: "When you give the master the color scheme, she knocks it outta the park!!! Absolutely Loved it!".

It's moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. The joy of seeing everyone indulging in the cake and going back for seconds is unparalleled. Contrary to the old adage that "nobody eats cake at parties," our creation was devoured with gusto and thoroughly enjoyed.
