Yesterday in Sweet Talk Chris D'Angeli let us know what she thinks of cupcakes, how she is hungry to compete again on the Food Network Challenge, and why Phoenicians could use a dose of Texas. Chris is the chef-owner of Slice, a custom cake studio where she designs and creates showpiece wedding cakes. On Sundays, Chris sells pies, cookies, and cakes at the Ahwatukee farmer's market. She loves doing the farmer's market, to connect with people and to keep her pastry muscles flexed.
