She became a mum for the first time late last year after welcoming daughter Layla Rose. And Laura Csortan made sure no expense was spared as she put on a lavish bash to celebrate her baby’s first birthday on Sunday.

Birthday girl! Laura Csortan made sure no expense was spared as she put on a lavish bash to celebrate her daughter Layla Rose’s first birthday on Sunday.

The 41-year-old model and presenter- who has chosen to raise her child on her own- held the party at the trendy Gazebo Wine Bar Bar in Sydney’s ritzy Elizabeth Bay.

Taking to Instagram, Laura shared a happy snap that showed her adorable girl sitting safely in her lap.

The stunner wore a floral top and left her blonde locks out, while she dressed her cherubic child in a cute polka dot jumpsuit.

‘Now that was a party! Happy first little Layla with all your amazing Sydney peeps” the former Great Outdoors host captioned.

She continued: ‘Huge thanks to Gazebo Sydney perfect venue and ohhh my god the food!!’

Laura also made sure to credit the patisserie who made the sensational o unicorn cake which was seen taking pride of place in her photograph.

The beauty wrote: ‘And about that cake! Pasticceria Caruso made the most perfect unicorn. sensation!’

The cake seems to be the must-have birthday treat for celebrity offspring, with WAG Kyly Clarke also opting for a similar confection for her own daughter’s recent birthday.

Talented Kyly was seen festooning the cake with treats ahead of her tot Kelsey-Lee’s second birthday a fortnight ago.

Meanwhile, in July this year, Laura lashed out on Instagram over ‘heartbreaking accusations’ by The Sunday Telegraph that she was ‘dating’ Anthony Bell.

She claimed the publication also insinuated that the celebrity accountant is the father of her daughter.

The former Miss World Australia has not disclosed the identity of Layla Rose’s dad, and is seemingly relishing her life as an empowered single mum.

But there’s no shame in taking a few sneaky shortcuts when you physically don’t have time to do it all, and the clever mum has a great one.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, the WAG uploaded a time-lapse video of herself madly decorating a unicorn-themed birthday cake for daughter Kelsey-Lee’s second birthday.

In the video, Kyly can be seen adding an assortment of brightly-coloured edible flair to the pastel-tinged cake.

“Having my own Cake Boss moment!!’ she writes in the caption.

“So much fun creating this cute unicorn-inspired master piece with the team @pasticceria_caruso @_lyfestyled_ #kylyskitchen.”

Review – Pasticceria Caruso

MEDIA: LiveJournal, Missdissent

Link: https://missdissent.livejournal.com/716535.html

If I’m honest, Pasticceria Caruso, is the type of business I’d usually walk right by. Set in a kiosk in the middle of Stockland Wetherill Park, it is surrounded by big chains, like Bakers Delight and Coles, making it all too easy to assume it’s something akin to Michel’s PatisseriePasticceria Caruso is actually quite a lot more than than that. It’s a small business owned by Giuseppe “Pino” Caruso, and is touted as having the best Italian cakes in the West.

The bazooka cannoli is simply a weapon. There are profiteroles inside the beast.

The more the merrier but when your party hits critical mass, Giuseppe Caruso has a sweet solution: the mighty Bazooka – a large crispy cannoli shell loaded with 50-mini ones. A Sicilian favourite, these ‘little tubes’ of fried pastry dough are filled with rich cream and for this giant version, Giuseppe has opted for a selection of ricotta, vanilla, chocolate, and for added sugar, included profiteroles in the centre of the shell. For those who prefer more intimate engagements, there’s also a smaller version. At their nearby commercial bakery, Giuseppe’s crew also make some impressive specialty cakes and other pastries. — Pasticceria Caruso, Kiosk 7, Stockland Mall

This Giant Cannoli Stuffed With 50 Normal Cannolis Is Too Pure For This World

MEDIA: BUZZFEED

Holy cannoli! So, here’s a thing that exists: a giant cannoli stuffed with 50 normal-sized cannolis.

It’s called the “Bazooka Cannoli,” and it comes from Pasticceria Caruso, a bakery in Sydney, Australia.

“It came about by accident, really,” Josie Gagliano, the bakery’s spokeswoman, told BuzzFeed. “We created it as a bit of joke for a relative’s birthday and we decided it looked like a huge bazooka gun, filled with cannoli, hence the name.

“It worked and created a buzz on Facebook, then we got our first order for it. And now they are hugely popular and we make lots of them every week.”

It's basically cannoli-ception.

While the bakery first started making them in 2012, they captured the internet’s cannoli-loving hearts recently when photos from a baking class where people learned to make the “Bazookas” went viral on Instagram.

The small cannolis are “are piled in strategically, and ‘stuck’ together using our ‘super glue,’ which is chocolate ganache,” Gagliano said.

The bakery makes around 40 Bazooka cannolis and 4000 normal-sized cannolis every week.

MY HEART IS RACING.
They're beautiful on the inside, too.

I feel like it’s staring into my soul.

Sadly, you can only get a “Bazooka Cannoli” by going to the bakery in person, so non-Australians will just have to hope and pray they start shipping internationally. Until then, who’s down to go to Sydney?

I'll take 12 of them, please.

Pasticceria Caruso’s giant cannoli keeps on giving

MEDIA: DAILY TELEGRAPH

Pasticceria Caruso have perfected the ‘Bazooka’ aka the giant cannoli.

Yes, there’s such a thing.

Inside the mouth-watering creation you will find 50 mini cannolis, meaning “little tube” filled with three flavours; ricotta, vanilla and chocolate.

And once you reach the middle of the popular Italian dessert, you will discover more — profiteroles.

The man behind the beloved ‘Bazooka’ which is also the patisserie’s signature dessert, alongside their Italian continental cake, is Giuseppe Caruso.

“We created the ‘Bazooka’ about four years ago as a bit of a joke,” Mr Caruso said.

“We put it on Facebook to see the reaction it would get, but it didn’t really get noticed until a month later when we got our first order.”

Since then they went on from selling about eight a week to now more than 40.

It is made fresh at their Wetherill Park factory, as is every other of their more than 80 desserts.

“There was another place that did it before us, but we have perfected it from the taste to its presentation; we add toys, flowers, ribbons, depending on the occasion.”

From that was born the cannoli tower profiterole towers and nutella ricotta cannoli cake.

 “It’s great seeing people’s faces when they come to pick it up,” Mr Caruso said.

In true Italian style, the whole family loves to get involved from Mr Caruso’s parents who help roll the cannolis, to his nine-year-old son Christian who refuses to work without his staff uniform.

Pasticceria Caruso have been satisfying locals for seven years. They moved into their new cake shop and cafe at the newly renovated Stockland Wetherill Park a month ago.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

■ You can now find the Pasticceria Caruso cake shop and cafe at the newly renovated Stockland Wetherill Park shopping centre, opposite Coles, where they have a dedicated cannoli station on site

■ Small ‘Bazooka’ with 20 mini cannoli — $65; ‘Bazooka’ with 50 mini cannoli — $145; mini cannoli are $1.50 each and large cannoli are $3 each.
