Want to know more about the Greatest Baker?
Learn MoreTell us about your signature bake and why it's your most popular treat.
I think that there are 2. The first would be the scones and apple roses that I have been making for a few years now. When participating in a rural trade show or doing a pop up bakery, they always sell out first. I once had a lady from England tell me they were the best scones she's ever had. The apple roses taste like a little apple pie. They are popular with diabetics as they don't create a huge sugar spike.
Who is your favorite person to bake for and what do you make most for them?
My fiance is my favorite person to bake for. There is not one particular item that she likes the best. She really enjoys taste testing everything and gives me extremely valuable feedback.
How would you use the $10,000?
Since we are getting married on November 8, 2025, I would use the money in 2 ways. First, to give Nicole a proper honeymoon and 2nd, to update the kitchen in our 109 year old farm house.
