Hi! I’m Emily Lael Aumiller, pastry chef, founder of Lael Cakes, and author of the cookbook Pure Artistry. My passion for baking began while pursuing a fine arts degree and has become a lifelong passion. For two decades, I’ve sculpted pastries that are stunning and delicious. After overcoming an autoimmune disease and food allergies, I launched Lael Cakes in 2011 to craft cakes that unite artistic detail with the finest ingredients. That’s the heart of what we do.

Looking for a treat that excites both your senses and your spirit? At Lael Cakes, every creation is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, crafted with imagination and care in every ingredient. All our recipes are made with love and prepared in-house from scratch.

We use our signature gluten-free flour blend, unrefined sugars, plant-based milk, and carefully sourced organic ingredients. Our offerings include vegan and traditional options. Each cake is vibrantly colored with botanical pigments and made without soy, hydrogenated fats, seed oils, or GMOs. Enjoy rich flavors while being kind to the planet!

Whether you’re envisioning a custom cake or choosing from our shop, each cake is made to order and delivered directly to you. We don’t have a storefront, but our private Brooklyn kitchen loves to hear from you.

Reach out and say hello. We’d love to create something exceptional with you.
