What is your signature dish?

Red wine and garlic braised short ribs with hot honey carrots and roasted potatoes. Also I own a bakery business and am locally known for my floral cupcakes and themed cake pops.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration isn’t really a person. Preparing a meal or a treat for someone is a love language to me. I can’t describe how much joy it brings me when I get the opportunity to make others feel loved, cared about, thought of, or filled their bellies with my culinary creations. That’s why I do what I do.

What would you do with the $25,000?

My family and I are planning on taking my baking business on the road as we travel the US together for the next 3 to 5 years. This money would help fund those travels and help with promoting our bakery as we travel.
