Merrittonian Camille Pinyon just may be the next ‘Greatest Baker’.
The 49-year-old care aide has taken the leap and joined the world’s largest online baking competition in the hopes of taking home the title, as well as a cool $20,000.
Pinyon has been creating delectable cakes, cookies and all manner of sweet treats for several years, but has taken the downtime afforded by the COVID-19 pandemic to really hone her craft and see if she can turn it from a hobby into a full-time gig.
Although Pinyon has faced an uphill battle with several serious health issues, each of which could be exacerbated or potentially fatal should she contract the novel coronavirus, she has embraced the journey which has now lead to her bid for Greatest Baker.
