Filigree Bakery: A Sweet Addition to Broad Ripple

In the heart of Meridian-Kessler, a nationally accredited pastry chef has been quietly crafting perfection from her kitchen. For those in the know, Laura Lachowecki’s Filigree Bakery is a farmers market and pop-up favorite. Her macarons, focaccia and custom cakes are sought regularly by loyal patrons from all over the Circle City.

One of Lachowecki’s greatest joys is being part of the local community. She lives, works, and is raising her children in the Broad Ripple area. Lachowecki is involved in various local organizations including the Broad Ripple Village Association, and she is eager to participate in upcoming events and partnerships. She has already been involved in several significant life events for residents including engagement cakes, wedding cakes, anniversary cakes and baby-shower cakes.

In this communal spirit and love for the area, Lachowecki is preparing for the next chapter: a brick-and-mortar space for Filigree Bakery. The progress has been slow-going as she coordinates the various aspects of the project to ensure her dream space takes shape. “I want it to be chic, cozy and quaint,” she says. “I want to keep the character of the building and the Broad Ripple history.” The interior will feature elegant and custom accents, creating a welcoming and inviting space for customers to enjoy their treats.

In addition to her delicious pastries and desserts, Lachowecki is excited about the possibility of expanding her menu in the future. She is considering specialty items like crème brûlée and chocolate-dipped strawberries. Additionally, she is considering incorporating breakfast pastries such as croissants, scones and muffins, to cater to early-morning customers. While there are no immediate plans for coffee drinks or specialty beverages, she hints at exploring these options in the future.

As the holiday season approaches, Lachowecki is busy preparing a festive selection to delight customers. Traditional favorites like stocking stuffers and gift boxes filled with holiday-themed macarons will be returning. “We are also bringing back holiday samplers for hostess gifts and parties,” Lachowecki shares.

As Filigree Bakery continues to grow and evolve, Lachowecki is excited about the opportunities ahead. She is looking forward to continuing to participate in events like the Penrod Arts Fair and the Broad Ripple Farmers Market, as well as remaining a valued member of the Broad Ripple community.
