Learn MoreI love to bake tres leches cakes! Sharing a little taste of my home to others brings me so much joy. Growing up in a Hispanic-Indigenous home, I l realized there are many unique treats that I can share.
How long have you been baking?I have been baking for about 14 years, since I was about 12. It started with making simple things like brownies, then sneaking them to my grandpa (my nana wanted him to watch his sugar). Then cookies, cakes, and chocolate decorations.
What would you do with the $20,000?I would like to be able to utilize the $20,000 for supplies and equipment, so I can continue to make sweets for little to no cost, for those who need it. Growing up, I have been in positions where we just simply couldn’t afford a birthday cake that year. But I think everyone deserves something special every once in a while.
