Who am I? 

I'm just a girl...with a rolling pin...asking you to love me. 

Hi! My name is Laura Petrolino. I'm the "power" behind MePowered Pastries. 

I grew up baking. Between endless hours baking with my amazing and talented mother, to baking "bootcamps" when my great Italian aunts came into town, it was a significant part of my childhood. 

And then as an adult I got nerdy about it. I love the art and science of baking. I love understanding how and why things work or don't work and adapting recipes to fit. And being Italian it's in my DNA to make people delicious food. And a lot of it. Let me feeeeed you. 

What’s our goal?

To bring together families, friends, and our community through making and sharing delicious creations.
