Hi! My name's Emily Lael Aumiller and I'm a pastry chef, founder of Lael Cakes, and author of Pure Artistry. I’ve been creating amazing pastry sculptures for 20 years, and I love what I do. I started Lael Cakes back in 2011 after years of battling food allergies and autoimmune diseases. My goal was to create custom cakes that not only focused on elaborate designs but also paid equal attention to the ingredients - and that's exactly what we do here.

If you're looking for a sweet treat that's both healthy and delicious, you've come to the right place. Lael Cakes is a boutique cake studio specializing in cakes with alternative ingredients. We use a secret blend of gluten-free flour and high-quality organic ingredients like unrefined sugar, plant-based fat, and non-dairy milk while maintaining eco-friendly production standards. We also use natural pigments to make our cakes vibrant and eye-catching. We work with local suppliers to ensure our cakes have the finest ingredients. If you're looking for something unique and delicious, contact us! We're based in Brooklyn but deliver all over NYC and beyond.
