The talk of the town, every bite tells a story of dedication and a love for the craft that was born from her own need for specialty bakery selections inspired by her Italian heritage and most importantly, her own family’s dietary needs. For Stamper it's more than just a hobby, it's a passion.

"I started baking with my mom as a kid. I’ve loved it ever since! My family and I had to switch to gluten-free because of chronic health issues, so I got creative with traditional recipes. Every cake or pastry I bake is more than just food - it's my way of making sure everyone can enjoy eating without any worries", she said. 

Now Stamper has a chance to make a huge name for herself across America thanks to The Greatest Baker. The baking competition is presented by the "Cake Boss" himself, Buddy Valastro, and gives competitors a chance to win $10,000, and share their work in Bake from Scratch Magazine!
