Lauren Cross is a New Orleans pre-school teacher turned baker! At a young age, her aunt exposed her to the baking world which had her asking for bundt pans and cookie sheets as Christmas presents. After graduating from the University of New Orleans with a Bachelors in Art History, she was able to combine her passion of art with her love of baking! She started her cookie business back in October of 2018 after seeing beautiful cookie designs flood her instagram feed. She buckled down for the hours of practice and is constantly pushing herself to learn new designs and baking methods. She was determined to give her customers everything homemade which made the name "Made From Scratch" Bakery a no brainer!
She typically sells by the dozen and features 4-5 designs per set. She supplies her cookies mostly for weddings, engagement parties, and baby shower. However, she loves bringing out NOLA themed cookies to show off her roots! Check out Pear's Seafood Market to pick up some of her cookies if you're ever in need of a quick sugar fix! Lauren's motto is, "if you have an idea, I try my best to make it into a cookie," and it's one every customer loves to hear. She really tries to give you exactly what you want or show you a design you might even like better. Let's talk details: Price per cookie: $30 per dozen Flavors: vanilla butter flavor with vanilla royal icing Shipping: Local orders only! (No shipping) Delivery: Offers free pick up or delivers to Metairie, Kenner, and New Orleans area for an extra fee I reached out to Lauren about creating some cute cookies to spice up the dessert table at our New Orleans engagement party a few months ago. Thanks to instagram, I was hooked on all those diamond ring and heart shaped cookies everyone had been using at their pre-wedding parties and I HAD to have them. I mentioned what I was into and she designed three cookies especially for me! She came up with a heart cookie that read "she said yes," a circular cookie with both of our names, and finally a diamond ring. The mix of designs gave me the variety and dimension that I wanted and she used our wedding colors to bring them all together! Not only were her cookies fantastic, she was CRAZY dedicated to me as a customer... she delivered my cookies to my door on the way to visit her sister who went into labor! I can't wait to order some more for my "day of gifts" or bridal shower!
