From a young age, alongside my mother in our kitchen in California, I learned to mix, whip, glaze, bake and of course taste cakes.

 

Thanks to my mother, I learned to distinguish good desserts from excellent ones. Priority number one: start with the best possible ingredients.

 

It was magical for me to see her cakes devoured by those who appreciated them. Baking was clearly a way for my mother to touch the lives of others.

 

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and I continue this family tradition. Pastry allows me to reconnect with my Californian roots. It also allows me to create new sweet bonds between my childhood in California and my own family in Brussels. I hope my desserts will inspire you...sweetly!​

​

Sweetly yours,

Laura
