Cynthia Nault has loved baking for as long as she can remember. Whether she's making a cake, cookies, or anything in between, the Gilbert Plains native who now lives just outside of Winnipeg loves to be in the kitchen doing her thing.
And now with a quick few clicks, you could help her win $20,000. Cynthia is competing in the 'Greatest Baker Competition' and her group includes bakers from all over Canada. A passion for her, Cynthia advanced to the second round last year. Her sister; meanwhile, made the top five in the second round.
"That was so great, I was cheering her on, she did a great job," said Nault.
$20,000 would go a long way towards Cynthia's future goals, but she says it's not all about the money. At the end of the day, Nault will continue spending many hours in the kitchen whether she wins or doesn't.
"I do this for the fun, this is what I love doing," said Nault. "I'm happy to share my baking with others, it's a great feeling."
Now that's where you come in. Until May 20, you can vote for Cynthia as she looks to advance to the next round. At this point, she's in a good position sitting in 9th in her group and the top 15 will advance. All you have to do is head to 'Vote for Cynthia' and you can help send the Gilbert Plains native into the second round.
And the next time you're in the kitchen baking and you're wondering what the recipe to success is, Nault says to never rush things.
'Low temperature more time. Helps to not over-bake and burn and gives a nice even colour," ended Nault. "As well as when a recipe says room temperature make sure it’s that. There is a reason for it.
If Cynthia were to win the $20,000 grand prize, it would go towards opening a bakery, something she dreams about very often.
