About Us

Hi, I am Holly, the owner of Laura's Bakery! Laura's Bakery is a small, woman owned and queer owned bakery dedicated to my grandmother, Laura.

When I was growing up, my grandmother, Laura was one of the biggest influences in my life. I remember being no more than 5 years old going to her apartment and eating homemade soup that she made just for me, and making homemade ice cream with her. 

As I got older, and she got older, she came to live with my parents, sister, and I at our house. My grandmother was always cooking and always baking. There was always a pot of sauce of some sort simmering, a pastry baking, or homemade candy being made. 

 My grandmother was somebody who could make something spectacular out of absolutely nothing. Everything she made was from scratch, everything she made was made with love, and everything she made was intended to feed the people that she loved. 

In 2018 my grandmother passed away, leaving behind her huge collection of cookbooks and baking supplies. I was able to inherit a bunch of this supplies— a lot of it I use now in this bakery. My grandmother was one of my most favorite people to ever walk this planet. I dedicate my bakery to her so that way I can continue to share love through food in the way that she always did. 

My grandmother wasn’t vegan or gluten-free, but my hope is to share my food with as many people as I can, and to put as many smiles on as many faces as I can. This means I want to make my food accessible to all people, especially those who struggle to find food that is safe for them to eat. My grandmother was really good at making sure she was able to feed everybody whenever she was cooking for people. I hope to be able to do the same. :)

 

With Love,

-Holly
