Mentor In: Cupcakes
Why I want to be mentor: My mom passed down her treasured family recipes so I feel like it's my turn to help those with less baking skills. Perhaps you may also teach me something too!
Lesson Learned: When baking try not to do it on a hot day. A hot kitchen is no fun and ultimately ruins your baked goods anyway.
Tip: when working with chocolate ganache and you don't have time for it to firm up, just put it in the fridge, bowl and all, for about 30 minutes. It will firm up. If it gets too firm, let it sit out for a few minutes.

Why I want to be mentor: When I first started baking, I learned everything I could from food blogs run by home bakers. Now that I've crammed my brain full of information, I'd love to share it!
Lesson Learned: Never get frustrated when something goes wrong. The most important lessons aren't learned from getting things right; They're learned by making mistakes! Laugh about it, and keep trying until you get it right.
Tip: Measure flour by scooping it into the cup with a spoon and leveling it off with the back of a butter knife.
