MEET THE GUEST JUDGE:
Samantha is the owner and creator-in-chief of a small business that creates beautifully hand crafted cakes and sugar flowers. Passionate about cakes, Samantha explains that her cake journey began eight years ago when she began creating novelty and birthday cakes shortly after her son was born. “I have always been interested in playing around in the kitchen, whether it’s baking or cooking,” Samantha says. “I enjoy playing around with recipes and ingredients and love to see how far I can push them and myself.”
