She was an educator and home baker, I was a food blogger, and we connected over our love of cooking and emotional eating.<\/p>\n<p>About a year into her journey with Hoshimoto\u2019s, Laurel brought me a slice of chocolate cake. Unlike Laurel, I don\u2019t have any food or beauty allergies or sensitivities, just lazy habits. I take my baked goods seriously, and have been constantly disappointed by gluten-free or vegan options. The textures and flavors always seemed a bit off, like a photo copy of a photocopy of the thing they claimed to be. Laurel\u2019s doctor had warned her that with her new disease, \u201cShe would never have a slice of chocolate cake again,\u201d so she spent her time baking delicious treats for family and friends that she could never share in herself &#8211; like a kid with her nose pressed up against the bakery window. When Laurel offered me a slice, she didn\u2019t provide any context, so I just dug in. While I was licking my spoon, she smiled and asked, \u201cSo, you liked it?\u201d Of course, I thought it was wonderful. Then she dropped the bomb. She had been tinkering with grain-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and dairy-free recipes. This delicious chocolate caramel cake with fudge frosting was completely devoid of my favorite ingredients. It was wholesome, nutritious, and autoimmune friendly. I was floored. That was the moment where we decided to take Laurel\u2019s chocolate cake and turn it into our company, Sweet Laurel.<\/p>\n<h3>What was the design inspiration for Sweet Laurel Bakery?<\/h3>\n<p>Laurel and I both grew up loving garden roses and tea parties, so my immediate touch stone was Mayfair in the spring time. All of the stores decorate with these gorgeous floral installations, and I wanted to capture that old world, London in the springtime feeling, but with modern lines. From the beginning I knew it needed to be a jewel-box. Sweet Laurel has always had this \u201csecret garden\u201d quality. Our only form of marketing was through word of mouth, and I wanted the space to reflect that: like stumbling into an English tea room in the middle of LA. It feels like you\u2019re in on a wonderful secret.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14573\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14573\" style=\"width: 728px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14573 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sl-7.jpg\" alt=\"Interior shot of Sweet Laurel Bakery through the window\" width=\"728\" height=\"1092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sl-7.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sl-7-475x713.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sl-7-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/catalog\/dining-and-kitchen\/tables\/aria-round-tables?icamp=blog_pdp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aria tables<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/catalog\/living\/sofas-and-loveseats\/murphy-sofas?icamp=blog_pdp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Murphy sofa<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/catalog\/home-decor\/throw-pillows\/velvet-pillows?icamp=blog_pdp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Velvet pillows<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Do you have a favorite item on the menu?<\/h3>\n<p>The chocolate cake!
