Happen Bakers: Faith Quintero

Hello!  New Happen Bakers time!

Meet Faith, a 14 year-old girl who reached out to me on Instagram.  After checking out her page - named FaithfullyCreated - I was COMPLETELY blown away by her talents.  A true artist, Faith whips up sweet confections that rival those displayed in the trendiest of bake shops.  Um, hello Kids Baking Championship??  Scoop this girl up at once!  Many of her recipes are her own, and they are all decorated in the most original way.  Catered for friends and family, Faith's attention to detail is beyond anything I've seen from someone so young, and it's evident her skills will take her far.  In a world where kids can be absorbed by tablets and social media, it's so refreshing to see what someone like Faith can accomplish.  

Go check out FaithfullyCreated now, and continue reading below to learn more about this talented baker!  By the way, gotta give the girl a shout out for the name pun... wink wink :)

When did you start baking?

My grandma inspired me to bake when I was 2 years old. 

How did you learn?

I learned how to bake by watching and helping my grandma bake cookies and brownies.  But now I learn new tips and tricks by watching hours and hours of YouTube.

What do you love most about it?

The thing I love about baking most is the joy on the faces of the people I bake for and the fact that it helps me through tough times and to de-stress.  

What's the most challenging thing you've attempted?

Macaroons!  

What's your dream dessert?

To eat the world's most expensive ice cream or to make a cake taller than me.  

Name 3 celebrities you'd like to bake with...

Yolanda Gampp, Joshua Jon Russell and Rosanna Pansino.

Most epic kitchen fail?

My most epic kitchen fail were my first four attempts at a vegan cake (IT WAS DISGUSTING).  

Any favorite songs you listen to in the kitchen?

I love to listen to anything I can dance to while baking (but no cursing or country music).  Mostly Shawn Mendes. 

Favorite food site or YouTube channel? 

My all-time favorite YouTube channels are ManAboutCake and HowToCakeIt...I watch hours of them!

When you're not baking, you are...

...doing homework, sleeping or hanging out with friends. 

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

 I hope it doesn't take me 10 years, but I am saving up for a 36-inch KitchenAid oven so that I can take my business to the next level and open a bakery!

Thank you Faith!  Continue to blow the world away!
