    Highly Recommend!

    Lara was so easy to work with! She really understood my vision even when I wasn’t too sure what I wanted. Our cake was so good, we tried to save our top tier for our anniversary, but we ate it in a week because it was too delicious!

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Thank you for the great review! I am so happy that your vision came true!! It was beyond a pleasure working with you and am excited to work with you again in the future!

    Exceptional!

    We're so thrilled with Lara's work! She bakes a beautiful and delicious cake and was able to make our vision come to life. We were so impressed with how she was able to work our florals into the cake, making it so photo-worthy. Lara's work is stunning and we could not be more pleased.

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Thank you so much Joe!!! I loved the vision you guys had for your cake and loved playing with such unique florals! I hope we get to work together again in the future.

    Professional, Responsive, and Talented Pastry Chef

    Working with Lara was a joy! She was responsive and professional at all times. Everyone at my daughter's baby shower raved about the taste of every item Lara provided and the gorgeous display at the dessert table. I would highly recommend Pastries by Lara for your next event. You will not be disappointed!

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Thank you so much Lisa!!! It was such a pleasure working with you and bringing your vision for your daughters baby shower to life!!

    Phenomenal

    Of all the vendors we used for our special day, the one we absolutely constantly talk about and would 100% choose again is Lara. I offer no exaggeration when I say that she was the perfect choice and was able to deliver a delicious cake for us and her professionalism is the highest level you can imagine. When our venue delivered a curve ball to us and wouldn't allow us to serve our cake in the traditional way, she worked with us and found a solution for our guests to enjoy her bakes. She is so kind and responsive to messages that you just do not get from traditional store-front bakeries. Honestly, 10/10 cake and person to work with!

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Adriana you were an absolute pleasure to work with!!! I appreciate how flexible you were to pivot and get creative with me! I hope you guys enjoyed your beautiful day!! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it!

    Hire her for your wedding!!

    Lara's so sweet, creative, flexible, and an amazing baker! Out of all my vendors, she was the easiest to keep in touch with - responding in a timely manner and with clarity! She provided such a sweet and personal tasting, and she was impeccable with the final delivery of her baked goodies for our wedding!

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Thank you so so much for these kind words!! Reading this warmed my heart so much!! You and your husband were such a great couple to work with and I look forward to working with you again in the future! Thank you for giving me the honor to make your vision come true!!

    Stunning and Scrumptious!!

    Lara was truly amazing!! She was so responsive, provided great guidance, and was just as sweet as her cake! I shared an inspo photo with Lara and she 1000% nailed it, I was stunned by the results! We selected chocolate and chocolate buttercream and coconut and chocolate buttercream and both were super delicious and moist. I would highly recommend Pastries by Lara for any event!

    Most Delicious Treats Ever

    Lara did an amazing job with the dessert table at my bridal shower! I told her what I envisioned for the day and she nailed the theme! She made chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered pretzels, cake pops, mini cupcakes, and regular sized cupcakes. She also made a one tier cake with the prettiest designs. My guests still cannot stop raving about how delicious her treats are!

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Thank you so much Kayla for this amazing review! I am so thrilled that we were able to make your beautiful Bridal Shower table just the way you envisioned it! It was such a pleasure working with you!

    Amazing cake, amazing service!

    Lara is amazing!! My husband and I recently had a mini wedding ceremony since our big wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 and when I called her to make a last minute wedding cake for our mini reception, she was there to save the day! She puts the customer first always, asks for every detail from taste to appearance, and delivers the most delicious cakes ever! It arrived in perfect condition and my guests couldn't get enough of it! The whole cake was eaten by the end of the night. I HIGHLY recommend Pastries by Lara for any occasion!

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Thank you so much Aline for trusting me to be a part of your special day!! It was an honor working with you and Chris! I am so pleased to hear everyone loved the cake 😊😊

    Couldn't wait to eat our cake

    Lara was a pleasure to work with - extremely responsive and helpful in guiding us through decisions. Our cake looked beautiful and tasted even better. We had planned to freeze the top layer to save for our first anniversary but ended up eating half of it the week after the wedding because we couldn't stay away!

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Lindsay this was the greatest thing to hear! I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed your cake so much! You were such a pleasure to work with and i hope we get to work together once again in the future! Thank you for trusting me for your big day!

    Delicious & beautiful cake

    Lara was super easy to work with. We contacted a few different bakers but the decision to work with her was very clear. We did a cake tasting of 3 flavors - two standard and one that Lara custom created for us. We ended up going with the funfetti and it was delicious! The cake decoration design we wanted wasn't very complicated, but she executed it flawlessly and worked with our florist to add fresh flowers and our cake topper - it looked amazing! We would highly recommend Lara!

    Sophia, thank you so much for trusting Pastries by Lara for your big day!! I am so pleased to hear about your experience! You were a pleasure to work with as well!

    Thank you Lara!

    We asked Lara cannoli filling, vanilla flavour cake. It was delicious, not too creamy (I was obsessive about this issue), she delivered just on time.

    I asked for fresh flowers, she added. I got a lot of compliment for the cake. Thank you so much Lara for making my most special day nicer...

    Thank you so much Guzin for your kind words! And most importantly thank you so much for trusting Pastries by Lara to be a part of your very special day! 😊😊

    Recommendation for Lara

    Lara’s cakes never disappoint! She is easy to work with, and very accommodating! I’ve hired her multiple times for a variety of occasions and each time the cake has been exactly what we wanted. She takes your vision and makes it a reality.

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Thank you Danielle for the very nice review! I am so pleased to hear that we were able to meet all your expectations and bring your vision to reality! Looking forward to working with you again!

    Made my dream cakes!

    Lara has been incredible time and time again for any of my events. She made the most beautiful cake for my engagement party and then again for my bridal shower. Not only were the cakes gorgeous, but they were delicious too! So many times we've eaten beautiful cakes at functions but they don't taste good. Lara's cakes not only look amazing but taste amazing. She was able to create my dream look for my cake and made it even better than I had pictured it.

    She also made the desserts for my dessert table. They included chocolate covered EVERYTHING, Nutella braids, cookies, cake pops, cupcakes, and a bunch of other delicious goodies. Best choice we ever made!

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Thank you so much for your feedback vana!! It was a pleasure working with you time and time again and I am honored that I have been a part of many of your special days!

    Perfection!

    Lara helped create my vision into a reality when designing my dessert table. The guests were so shocked by the beauty and the amazing taste of all her goodies! My cake was so perfectly made, it was exactly what I wanted... I really couldn't have been any happier! Even my husband was in awe. I'm looking forward to the next event that I get to use Lara!

    Simple yet Elegant

    Pastries by Lara created the most beautiful cake for my daughter's baby shower. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, and Lara helped create a beautiful elegant cake that fit in perfectly with the shower's theme. Not only was it beautiful, it was very moist and tasted delicious. My guests loved the flavor! Lara was a pleasure to work with, so friendly, professional, and accommodating. I will definitely use her again for my next party.

    Pastries by Lara's reply:

    Hi Maria,
    I am so pleased to hear that everything was a hit! I was honored to be a part of the special baby shower!

    Highly recommend

    I highly recommend Lara. She did such a great job with the desserts for my baby shower. The two-tiered cake was beautiful and so delicious, and my guests raved about the assortment of small desserts (macaroons, cake pops, blueberry mousse, etc.). Not only was Lara very responsive and easy to work with, I could easily trust her to carry out my vision. Based on some inspo pics, she was able to bring to life a dessert table that was exactly what I was hoping for. If you have a budget, she's also willing to work with you and is very reasonable about prices. Thank you, Lara!

    Amazing service!

    Lara is amazing! I called her for my micro wedding about 3 weeks before the wedding! She responded very quickly. She was extremely knowledgable and really helped make our vision come to life! Not only did my cake look exactly what I wanted it to but the taste was absolutely DELICIOUS! I can’t wait to use Lara in the future!
