ALEXANDRIA MARROW Inspired by my Easy Bake Oven, I began baking at the age of 4 years old. Time flew by and eventually I became too old for my favorite childhood toy. It was time for the big girl oven. I didn’t know too much about baking in a real oven, so the Food Network became my bestfriend. I watched it daily for hours on end. At the age of 13 years old, my mom passed down to me her classic pound cake recipe. We spent the day baking, and I was shocked at how delicious the cake was. I thought to myself, if the cake is this good with these average quality ingredients, how much better would it be with high quality ingredients? I tested out a new cake with ingredients of my choice, and sure enough, the finishing result was even better than I could’ve imagined it would be! I knew I had to share this cake with my family and friends. I began selling the cake weekly and bringing it to family gatherings. The sweetest smiles on their faces after tasting my cake have been my inspiration ever since.
