Creations By Laura

My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Creations by Laura. The family-run business is located in Union, MO -- about 40 miles from where we were having our wedding, at a pretty rural rustic 1860's style log cabin b&b -- and also in the town where my husband's mom lives. Not only does Creations by Laura make incredibly skilled, ornate and simply gorgeous cakes in a huge variety of flavors (we got almond and german chocolate in our cake), the owner (and cake baker) Laura was so friendly and willing to work with us to stay within our budget on cake designs we'd love but could afford, as well as on ways to incorporate special elements that were important to us -- like bittersweet vine to add to our autumn-themed cake.

<p>Laura was also perfectly happy and willing to meet us on a Saturday -- since we live in Iowa and were just in the area for a weekend. The whole process was both fun -- but also very professional and organized. Since we had no idea going into the meeting what sort of cake we'd want, the kinds of decorations, or anything else, it was very helpful that there were several photo albums showcasing the range of cakes and designs possible. Laura was also very easy-going and easy to talk to, and made sure we understood the process and timeline for payment, but in such a friendly way.

<p>The business offers free delivery within 20 miles -- which was great, as we only had to pay for the other 20 miles -- and Laura delivered the cake fresh on the morning of the wedding to set it up. We got so many compliments on the design, and the cake itself was really delicious. We are so happy with our choice, and would happily recommend Creations by Laura to anyone for their birthday, office event, holiday, wedding or anything else.
