Learn MoreTell us about your signature bake and why it's your most popular treat.
I can’t say I have a signature bake as I like to bake what I am asked to bake. I will even try new bakes. However I do a lot of pound cake, carrot cakes, and red velvet cakes.
Who is your favorite person to bake for and what do you make most for them?
My favorite people to bake for is my grandchildren. I bake their birthday cakes every year. My daughter tends to tell me I do too much 😂. I love to bake for anyone though. Their happy feelings when they bite into one of my products just makes me happy.
How would you use the $10,000?
If I was to win I would like to help my husband with a food truck and promote my desserts with him. I would love for us to have a small business together.
