Jaleesa Mason pushed through panic and doubt for a sweet reward.
The Jersey baker’s road to Food Network glory started in Spanish Harlem, where she grew up. In high school, she switched paths from aspiring surgeon to pastry dreams. Mason had an internship at a hospital and realized medicine just wasn’t her thing. She enjoyed baking, but the art of professional pastry-making seemed too out of reach — she thought she would need connections to get anywhere in the business.At the urging of those close to her, she decided to apply to culinary school.
She beamed when she learned she would be making a three-tier “heirloom” wedding cake in the final round. The confection was to feature an embroidered design with plenty of piping — one of her specialties.Mason's first time competing as a baker was for a national audience. She calls the experience "eye-opening."“Our goal is to get a second location for a commissary so we can have much more space to produce,” Mason says of the pastry shop.
