About Sweet Laurel

After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, Co-founder Laurel Gallucci was told she would never eat chocolate cake again. She turned to an anti-inflammatory diet, free of grains, refined sugar and dairy per her doctor’s orders and began experimenting with baking within her new parameters. With Co-founder Claire Thomas who has a strong eye for beautiful photography and design, Sweet Laurel was born–emerging as a coveted lifestyle brand. Sweet Laurel initially offered baking classes and workshops and very quickly the demand increased. They began selling cake and products in LA, then launched their first cookbook, opened their retail store in LA and began shipping cakes nationwide. With a vibrant social media following (139k+) and nationally available baked goods, Sweet Laurel fosters a vibrant and inclusive community for anyone who has health-restrictions or who wants to fully enjoy a tasty treat without harmful ingredients.
