Ashley Landerman, 2tarts Bakery pastry chef and co-owner, won first place in the 2023 Food Network "Holiday Baking Championship" finale on Dec. 18.

In a nutshell

Landerman came out as the top baker among 11 others in the Season 10 competition, winning the prize of $25,000.

Landerman said she wanted to highlight her decorating skills and show the world items from the 2tarts menu that she believes in.

“I just want to be the best version of me and the bakery,” Landerman said.



Landerman previously won the 2019 Food Network "Christmas Cookie Challenge." She said she plans to use the money from this year’s competition to remodel a Volkswagen camper van she and her husband own.

2tarts Bakery is a from-scratch bakery that serves cakes, cookies, pastries and coffee.
