A former Dauphin resident is taking another crack at trying to win the "Greatest Baker" online contest.
The Greatest Baker, which is sponsored by Buddy Valastro of Cake Boss fame, will award $10,000 and a feature spot in Bake from Scratch magazine to the top final vote-getter in the online people's choice competition.
Cynthia Nault explains how the contest works.
"I share a link that they made for me, and everyone can vote for free once a day, or they can pay to get extra votes. And the money that you donate to get extra votes goes to a children's charity that they have. Whoever wins gets $10,000, and having $10,000 would be super awesome. It would help me expand a lot and help get the word out that I do this stuff."
Nault has competed in this competition in the past - finishing in the top 5 one year and was encouraged by her family to do it again this year.
"I was looking through Facebook with my son and he saw this and said, "Mom you have to do this again!" So I said I would, and he helped me pick out the pictures for it. It is a fun little competition for me because you do not have to be away from home. You just get people to vote online and you promote yourself but I am not away from my kids like for other competitions."
Round one of voting is now underway until December 7th, and Nault must finish in the top 10-15 of voting in order to move on to the next round.
She is hoping residents of the Parkland will support her in this contest.
"Even though I live in Ste. Anne, I still like to represent my hometown and the Parkland area. I talk highly about everything there. It is still home for me, even though I do not live there anymore, it is still always home and I am happy that it is home because it is a very loving community."
