Weber's stellar career in decorating arts, began as a small girl making
mud pies on the playground. At fourteen, she accepted her first job

a trainer for cake decorators and bakery management. Bronwen has competed
in eight Food Network Challenges earning 3 gold, 4 silver medals and a
bronze, making her the most medalled competitor in the series. As a

continues to teach nationally and internationally several times a
year. Bronwen is the basic skills columnist for American Cake
