Kayla Milligan: Owner of Laugh Love Cakes

I have always had a love for all things sweet and pretty. Growing up a ballerina, dance was my first love but it wasn’t until I got my hands on a piping bag did I know that I had truly found my passion.

After getting my Bachelor of Nutritional Sciences (and attempting to look for a ‘career’) I still found myself constantly in the kitchen perfecting my cake design skills and soaking up as much knowledge as possible. Soon enough I realized that life is too short to not wake up and do what you love every day so I made the decision to enroll in the Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts and take my cake design skills to the next level.

Being a girl born and raised on the prairies, making the decision to move to Toronto to attend the Bonnie Gordon School of Confectionary Arts was overwhelming to say the least; but it was the best personal and business decision I have made to date. From start to finish my experience at the Bonnie Gordon School of Confectionary Arts was exactly what I had hoped for and more. It was amazing to me to see how my skills as a designer were improving daily. Being taught by the truly inspiring and talented staff at Bonnie Gordon, as well as the amazing relationships I have made with incredibly talented classmates are, experiences you can’t put a price tag on. I came into the first day of class as a self- taught cake designer with little technical training and left as cake designer confident in my work and ready to expand my business to many new horizons.

Since graduation from BCG Laugh Love Cakes has had success beyond anything I could have hoped for. Our weddings have double this summer from last and our weekends are filled with fun and creative novelty cakes leaving the kitchen. I cannot thank my experience at Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts enough for playing a part in truly finding my passion for cake design.
