A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

Christine Drinan Founders Note

Spring Is In The Air

Now, it’s not just your algorithm: yes, you are actually seeing lots of African safaris on your friends’ Insta feeds. That’s where I’m headed this month – to the place that changed my life. Back to Basics There is something about Africa that whether or not your heart is open to it, it changes your perspective. Yes, the market is crashing, or maybe your job isn’t optimal, or your relationship isn’t in the best place. These are all real struggles that the…

This Sweet Laurel Bakery Co-Founder Travels For Sweets

Laurel Galucci is the co-founder Sweet Laurel Bakery — which may sound familiar if you live in LA or travel often through LAX. As you may have already figured out, Galucci is also the namesake of Sweet Laurel Bakery. She is a third generation Angeleno and a self-taught baker. And, her baking journey began when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease as a young adult. Forward to present day: her baked goods use natural unprocessed ingredients that are grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. Now, with a location at LAX, Sweet Laurel Bakery is even more travel-friendly than before. Read on to learn where Galucci feeds her sweet tooth when she’s traveling, and learn about her favorite keepsakes, too. Sweet Laurel Bakery’s baked goods are gluten-free. Photo credit: Sweet Laurel Bakery. Other than your own sweets, what are your favorite bakeries? There are so many incredible bakeries around the world. I think two in particular that I adore are Maman in New York and Violet Bakery in London. Both have a similar, unfussy, homemade approach to baking that I love. Is there anything that you bake that was inspired by travel?  Yes. We love Italy and the Mediterranean, so many…
