Golden West's Karli Kittelson sat down with Estevan Local Vanessa Kavalench to get the answer to some questions we all are curious about:

What's your favorite thing to bake?

Anything and everything! I am always trying new things. I love making donuts lately as it’s been a newer baking item that I feel I have perfected. Cake pops are also just so delicious even though they can be time consuming. Pops are such a challenge to pull off sometimes which makes me want to keep making different kinds. I also am pretty obsessed with making cheesecakes. The one thing I bake most is traditional white buns as that’s always a favourite.

How long have you been baking?

I had to ask my mom how far back I started baking as I just remember baking being a regular part of my childhood. She figured around age 10. Both my grandmothers and mom baked regularly so I was able to learn from them. Over time I continued to bake as I love to give, and everyone really loves home baked goods. I also love to include everyone by inviting people over to bake and learn. I have regular baking parties especially for holiday baking.

What would you do with the $10,000?

I would definitely do more with my baking whether that be open a commercial kitchen or some baking business adventure. I would also donate some to our local animal shelter. As both rescuing cats and baking are both so important to me.
