Meet the panel of judges
Steven Hodge
Temper Chocolate & Pasty in Vancouver is the proprietor of the forthcoming judge on The CW program. While he began baking at an early age as a result of his mother’s influence, he began working professionally in a kitchen while attending the California School of Culinary Arts. During his stay there, he was told by another chef about the challenge of making it as a pastry chef, but this just fueled his determination to succeed. The Great Chocolate Showdown judge formerly worked at Wolfgang Puck Catering and Porto’s bakery before moving to Vancouver to work as an executive chef for the Glowbal Group.

She was born in Nigeria and raised by her grandparents until she was ten years old. She made her first cake when she was eight years old. According to her website:
“I began baking full-time after going on maternity leave in 2009 because I was afraid of leaving my newborn son.” At the time, the goal was to manufacture one wedding cake every month.”
Cynthia’s grandpa, who worked as an attorney and often defended clients who couldn’t afford to pay him, had a major influence on her life. His customers were willing to pay him anything they could.
