"The casting agency came to me and asked me to be on the show. And the first time they asked me I was a little bit wary about it and then they came back to me again and I thought, 'Whatever! I'm just going to do this!' It was an incredible experience."

She loves what she does, although being a baker is not as easy as it seems. So what is the toughest part of her job?

"Probably the hours! And it's a physical job so I'm tired and I've been here for six or seven days and then all of a sudden, I'm lifting bags of flour and running back and forth, so sometimes that can be tough!"

But she loves the look of joy on her customer's faces when they pick up their favorite treats!
