At 15 years old, Brylie Link is a young talented baker. Brylie has been baking since she was eight years old. She started baking at a young age with her grandma, Jolene Link, and ever since has been using all the tricks and tips that her grandma has taught her over the years. Not only does Brylie like to bake tried and true family recipes, but she also likes to venture out and experiment with new recipes that she comes across online. When asked what her favorite item to bake was, she simply could not choose one. Brylie said, “That is a tough question as there are many things that I enjoy baking.” There really is not anything that Brylie does not like to bake. The most difficult items that Brylie has ever baked are macaroons and chocolate croissants. They were difficult, but practice makes perfect and if one knows Brylie when it comes to baking, she is a perfectionist who practices her craft constantly. She likes her baked goods to look as beautiful as they taste.

She watches a lot of how-to videos, especially when she is trying something new or challenging in addition to making the recipes. When asked why she enjoyed baking so much she said, “It was what me and my grandma always preferred to do in the kitchen whenever I would go to her house.” Brylie also enjoys it because of the yummy things that can be created and it does not hurt that she has a sweet tooth.
