DESSERT?
DESSERT? WELL... WE'RE ABOUT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO
A TRULY AMAZING
TEENAGER... WHO
MAKES FABULOUS
DESSERTS.
AND SHE'S MULTI-
TALENTED... PLAYS
VIOLIN... IS A
GYMNAST... AND AN
HONOR ROLL STUDENT.
ADD TO THAT... SHE IS A
TOP-SHELF BAKER.
HERE'S STEVE BROWN
WITH THE STORY...
"I
"I LIKE
"I LIKE TO THINK I HAVE VERY HIGH STANDARDS FOR MYSELF. AND I
ALWAYS THINK I COULD
HAVE DONE BETTER."
BUT... YOU'D HAVE TO
GO A LOOOOOOONG
WAY TO BAKE BETTER
THAN SARA YOUNG.
WANT PROOF?
FINE.
LIKE CAKES?
HOW 'BOUT ONE FOR
THE FOURTH OF JULY?
ANOTHER FOR FALL.
IS CHOCOLATE YOUR
THING?
WHAT ABOUT
PISTACCHIO?
MAYBE LEMON
STRAWBERRY?
AND THERE ARE
CUPCAKES.... AND
ENTREMEES... AND
MACAROONS... AND ALL
SORTS OF COOKIES
AND BROWNIES... AND
ALL OF THEM MADE BY
SARA.... AND... SHE IS
JUST THIRTEEN-YEARS
OLD...
"MY MOM'S SIDE OF
THE FAMILY IS ALL
ITALIANS. SO THERE'S
A LOT OF FOOD GOING
ON THERE. AND I
GUESS INSTEAD OF
TAKING UP COOKING I
DECIDED TO TAKE UP
BAKING."
SARA'S BEEN WORKING
AT THIS FOR ABOUT A
YEAR.
OUTSIDE A COUPLE OF
TRICKS MOM TAUGHT
HER... SARA'S A SELF-
TAUGHT BAKER...
"SHE REALLY TAKES
HER TIME. TOP MAKE
SURE SHE GETS IT
RIGHT. AND IF SHE
DOESN'T GET IT
RIGHT. IT ENDS UP IN
THE GARBAGE AND IT
GETS DONE AGAIN."
"THERE'S ALWAYS
ROOM FOR
IMPROVEMENT NO
MATTER HOW GOOD
YOU GET."
ONE OF SARA'S LATEST
CREATIONS... FOR
HALLOWEEN... A
WITCH'S CALDRON
CAKE... IS ON DISPLAY
AT THE GLOBE
MARKET... IN THE
ELMWOOD VILLAGE
WHERE SARA HAS AN
INTERNSHIP...
"WHEN WE FIRST SAT
DOWN. I SAID TO HER,
'ONE OF THE AREAS
THAT WE WOULD LIKE
TO GET INTO IS THE
VEGAN AND GLUTEN-
FREE. AND IT WAS
SOMETHING THAT SHE
NEVER DID BEFORE."
"SHE MAKES THEM SO
BEAUTIFUL. AND SO
GORGEOUS THAT
PEOPLE QUESTION. 'IS
THAT REALLY VEGAN?'.
BECAUSE MOST
VEGAN. GLUTEN-FREE
PRODUCTS ARE KINDA
PLAIN JANE. AND SHE
MAKES GORGEOUS
VEGAN. AND
GLUTEN-FREE CAKES.
AND COOKIES. ALL OF
THAT."
SARA ADMITS TO BEING
A BIT OF A
PERFECTIONIST.
SHE WAS
UNIMPRESSED WITH
HER 97-GRADE POINT
AVERAGE IN SCHOOL
LAST YEAR... SAYING
SHE COULD ALWAYS DO
BETTER... WHICH HELPS
EXPLAIN HER
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
IN HER BAKING...
"I'M JUST MAKING SURE
THAT THERE'S NO.
LIKE. BARE SPOTS."
AND AS GREAT AS
SARA'S CREATIONS
LOOK... THEY TASTE
EVEN BETTER...
"UNFORTUNATELY.
YOU GET SPOILED.
BECAUSE ONCE YOU
START EATING SARA'S
BAKING. UM. IT'S
DEFINITELY DIFFICULT
TO EAT ANYTHING
COMMERCIAL AFTER
THAT."
AT 13... SARA STILL HAS
YEARS TO FORMULATE
HER FUTURE...
"OKAY. THAT'S THE
FINISHED PRODUCT."
BUT ALREADY... THIS
VERY FOCUSED TEEN
SEES BAKING AS A
CAREER...
"I THINK I WANT TO GO
TO A CULINARY SCHOOL
BUT I'D LIKE TO DO AN
INTERNSHIP OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I'M THINKING MAYBE
FRANCE BECAUSE
THEY'RE REALLY
RENOUN FOR PASTRIES
AND PATISSERIES."
AND PATISSERIES."
NOW...
NOW... TO
NOW... TO THE PART OF THE STORY SCOTT AND MARYALICE ARE MOST
LOOKING FORWARD

OF SARA'S COOKIES.

WITH THE DAYBREAK
