My signature bake is cookies and cream . I LOVEEEEEE making a cookies and cream !! I also love to make Red Velvet it’s so rich and moist and the cream cheese frosting is absolutely AMAZING!!
Who is your favorite person to bake for and what do you make most for them?
My favorite person to bake for is my daughter . She is 3 years old and loves my baking . She has started wanting to help me with the cakes so I let her pour the ingredients in and turn the mixer on .
How would you use the $10,000?
I would open my first bakery. That’s always been my dream . Just something small but full of flavor .
