FORT MYERS, Fla. — She's been cooking since she was seven and now she is taking her talents to a bigger stage.
Riya Shah of Fort Myers is only eleven-years-old. She started baking with her mom.
As her skills developed, she wanted to challenge herself, so she applied to a baking contest. She was delighted to be cast in Food Network's Kids Baking Championship, which premiered Dec. 27.
“It's like a really big deal. Just get there. So like my hope was just to get there at that point," she said.
Riya said the competition was a lot of pressure, but she had a lot of fun filming it. She said she loves making macaroons.
She also shares her treats on Instagram!
"Kids Baking Championship" airs through Feb. 21.
