You’ll hear all about it;                                                                                                                              ·        Teresa Velazquez is the owner/ executive pastry chef / executive chef – or simply the baker/cooker -- at Baked & Wired and A Baked Joint. She’s also RAMMY's 2023 Best Pastry Chef of the Year. Not too shabby for a lady who didn’t start out to bake her way to stardom. You’ll hear the whole sweet story about her cupcakes, pies, cookies, bars, brownies, breads and more when Teresa joins us;                                                                                                                                                                                                         Six-time James Beard Award nominee Amy Brandwein is the chef/owner of Centrolina and Piccolina da Centrolina in Washington. Chef Amy has mastered the art of creating and serving dishes that taste exactly as they should -- and as good as they do in Italy.             See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
