Laurent’s Confectionery: More than Just Pretty Cakes

You’re really more inspired to create if you’re doing something you’re passionate about. Nothing compares to the sense of accomplishment you feel when you have created something perfect. For Laurent’s Confectionery owner, Melanie, it’s excellently baked cake. Their products are not only delectable but also aesthetically pleasing. Read on to learn more about this fast-growing business.

Passion to Create

Melanie was an interior designer turned pastry chef as well as a mom of a beautiful girl. She realized she wanted to embark on a new career path and decided that it was time to follow her passion. That moment, it also came to her how much she enjoys making handcrafted, intricately-designed cakes, and sharing them with those who appreciate the craft.

“I wanted to create. I wanted to bake. So the decision was made and I went for it. I had set myself a steep learning curve but I was determined to make it work because I thought, “if others can successfully carve out a career out of this, then I can too”,” Melanie said.

Laurent’s Confectionery offers a wide selection of cakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, macaroons, and other decorative sweets. You can also count on them for high-quality custom cakes for the biggest moments of your life, from weddings and anniversaries to birthdays and events. For this booming business, every cake has a story and each bite is an experience.

Core Mantras

Changing careers, especially venturing in a different field is not easy. Melanie mentioned three key mantras that helped her go through the rough patches of her journey.

There’s Always Room at the Top. While there’s always going to be someone more successful than you, it doesn’t mean that you can’t excel too. There’s going to be room at the top for everyone who works hard enough.

Faith It Till You Make It. According to Melanie, you just keep believing you can and doing what you love. She added, “It’s possible to make a career out of something you love. I’m a living proof! When the doubts or fears hit, you just have to “faith it” and move forward.”

Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day. It’s true that all beautiful things take time and hard work. Take each day as a chance to learn and become better at what you do.

“The reality is that it wasn’t smooth sailing all the way when I first started my business. Every win would be followed by a loss...it was a constant “two steps forward, one step back” situation. I was a no-name cake decorator, trying to make it in an endless sea of talent. It was HARD. Nonetheless, I could see very clearly where I was and where I wanted to be,” Melanie shared.

She added, “So today as I share my story, I’m taking a sneak peek behind my shoulder and seeing that indeed, I’ve come very far and am living out the career I had wished for. I get to make pretty cakes, work every day as a creative entrepreneur, mingle with passionate like-minded bakers & connect with incredible people from all over the country. Embrace the process, stay the course, live each day with gratitude & most of all, never stop learning.”
