Learn MoreTell us about your signature bake and why it's your most popular treat.
My signature bake has always been a crowd favorite, especially during the holidays. Everyone looks forward to my famous sugar cookies, soft and buttery with a hint of vanilla. Each year, friends and family ask if I’ll be making them again, and I usually do—with my homemade cream cheese frosting that makes them irresistible. If I ever decided to take orders, I’m confident they’d sell out quickly because people can’t seem to get enough of these festive, delicious cookies. They’re filled with love.
Who is your favorite person to bake for and what do you make most for them?
I love baking and cooking for family and friends, especially during the holidays or for special occasions. Whether it’s a birthday, a get-together, or a fun potluck, I enjoy preparing delicious dishes and sweet treats that bring everyone together. Cooking has always been a joyful way for me to express love and share traditions. Each meal or dessert I make is filled with care, laughter, and a sense of togetherness that makes every celebration feel warm and memorable. I’m all about traditions.
How would you use the $10,000?
If I won $10,000, I’d be shocked, having never won before. I’d pay off debt, save, and invest in a house or let it grow in the bank. I’d keep some for future needs or unexpected expenses and use part to start a small dessert business. I’d also pursue my passion for interior design or continue my education. Careful planning would help me focus on what matters most, supporting my goals, long-term security, and overall vision. Baking is my favorite hobby to de-stress, though I dislike the cleanup.
