My favorite thing to bake has to be sugar cookies! There’s something special about creating each one and then bringing it to life with unique designs and decorations. It’s more than baking – it’s a chance to turn each cookie into a tiny piece of edible art. Whether it’s for a theme day, a special event, or a holiday, decorating sugar cookies lets my creativity shine and brings a little extra magic to someone’s day.

I’ve been baking since I was a child, learning from my two grandmas who shared their love of baking with me. Those early memories in the kitchen inspired my passion, and for the past 10 years, I’ve had the joy of baking professionally. Each bake feels like a piece of my history mixed with my creativity, and I love bringing that tradition into my work every day.

With $20,000, I’d finally be able to take my kids on a much-needed vacation, giving us time to connect and make memories away from the daily hustle. They truly deserve it. I’d also use some of the funds to invest in new equipment for the bakery, which would improve our efficiency and help us meet demand. This would be such a gift for both my family and the business that means so much to me.
