Meet the local baker who won big on ‘Cake Wars’

Did you know one of the winners from Food Network’s Cake Wars and Cooking Channel’s Freakshow Cakes is from the Capital Region?

Holly Broussard, a Prairieville native and the owner of Sweet Elizabeth Cake Designs, took her cake-making skills to California and the Big Apple for the nationwide TV competitions. Her team won $10,000 on Cake Wars for a Charlie Brown-themed cake in 2016. Three years later, she won the Freakshow Cakes competition with a larger-than-life vanilla cake in the shape of a blue-haired, fire-eating woman and took home another $10,000.

Broussard loves to push the envelope.
