Layla Bean Cakery

🐛 party part 1: This 4' long 3D caterpillar cake was definitely my most ambitious undertaking. I'll tell ya, there's a reason why several other bakeries turned down this order request. But I took on the challenge and I'm so glad that I did! I loved seeing this children's book character come to life through my cake design. Shoutout to my very talented builder and delivery crew for helping bring this behemoth to life!!

These edible tennis balls are a perfect serve! Inside these fuzzy demisphere desserts is a cherry chocolate mousse and chocolate cookie crumble. To make the fuzzy texture of the neon nap, I mixed gel food coloring, granulated sugar and powdered sugar. Dehydrated the mixture then put it through the food processor. Et Viola, edible fuzz. 🎾 (Psst: this desert shot me through the food network auditions)

Them: “ Can you make a cookie that sort of looks like a diploma?”
Me: “ Darlin’ I can make the cookie an exact replica and even put it in a wood frame.”
🎓Congrats to all the grads this week!

Reelin’ in the years 🎣Happy 40th birthday to who’s a total catch!

If I say I’m bringing a carrot cake to Easter supper you better believe I am bringing a CARROT cake! And since I will not be out done, I like my carrot cake to be bountiful. Chunky. Thicc. Full of course grated carrots, golden raisins, walnuts, pineapple, citrus zest and a taaaangy cream cheese icing. Served with love and caramel.

Lights. Camera. Action! 🎬 A motion picture themed cake celebrating the movies and filmmakers featured in this year’s Phoenix Film Festival.

Aged to perfection.🥃🥃clink. Cheers!

Wishing a very happy First Fiesta to Kamila Kai with a piñata ruffle smash cake and a Mexican embroidery guest cake.
