Tell us about your signature bake and why it's your most popular treat.

My signature bake is my decorated sugar cookies. They’re known for their intricate designs—and even more so for their flavor. Each cookie is buttery, delicately sweet, and melts in your mouth, becoming a fast favorite amongst friends and family. These cookies reflect my heart for baking: to create something that brings joy, and sprinkles a little kindness in every bite.

Who is your favorite person to bake for and what do you make most for them?

I find the greatest joy in baking for my friends and family. Their encouragement has been a constant source of inspiration to me. My royally iced sugar cookies are a favorite—both for their flavor and the love poured into each design. Baking is more than a hobby for me; it’s a way to glorify my God and Father in Heaven. I pray that every cookie I share carries a touch of comfort, joy, and the light of Christ to those who receive it.

How would you use the $10,000?

My dream is to open a bakery where I can share the love of Christ through the joy of baking. This space would be more than a storefront—it’d be a place of warmth, encouragement, and purpose. The $10,000 would be a meaningful step toward making this dream a reality. One possibility I’ve prayerfully considered is creating a bakery that offers employment to individuals with disabilities—providing opportunities for those who are often overlooked. I remain open to the Lord’s leading and direction.
