Why I want to be mentor: I would like to mentor in this category because I have a great deal of experience in baking and decorating cakes and I feel that cooks who shy away from baking shouldn't be afraid. It may require a bit more preparation and patience, but it's fun and isn't difficult to learn with the right help.

Tip: Always pre-heat your oven at least 10 minutes before you begin baking
