Learn MoreTell us about your signature bake and why it's your most popular treat.
My Harry Potter Snickerdoodle Cake, a creation born from a mother's love and a daughter's unwavering fandom. This isn't your average birthday cake; it's a lovingly handcrafted confection designed to bring the enchanting world of Hogwarts to life. It's a two-layered cinnamon cake, where a soft, layer of buttery, cinnamon-sugar snickerdoodle cookie is baked right into the middle. Every detail was meticulously crafted by hand,from the wands, the Sorting hat, even the Golden Snitch.
Who is your favorite person to bake for and what do you make most for them?
My daughters. Baking for them is more than just making a treat; it’s an act of love, a way to connect. The moment they see what I’ve made, their faces completely light up with pure, uninhibited amazement. It's a special kind of magic, seeing their eyes widen and their mouths form a perfect "O" of surprise. I love to challenge myself, and my daughters are my biggest—and most enthusiastic—critics and cheerleaders. Every year, I pour my heart into their themed birthday cakes.
How would you use the $10,000?
I would get a washing machine so we don't have to keep going to the laundry mat and that would help us with money for groceries or anything else. Also use it to fix my car it needs fixed we don't have AC working right and I'm on disability because I suffer with migraines and bei g hot doesn't help plus other things need fixed too. Also fix our house we need new steps, new floors in the house, buy my daughters new cloths and shoes. Buy new baking essentials, pans etc to help expand my creations.
