    I had a blast with host Eddie Jackson. He was the nicest guy! Even when he was bugging me with questions while I was trying to make cookies really fast! LOL.

    Judges Kimberly Bailey, Damiano Carrara and Ree Drummond were awesome. How fun to rub shoulders with these great bakers and cooks!

    Ree, The Pioneer Woman, and I go way back to my days at Ladies' Home Journal magazine (although I promise she wasn't bias in any way!)
