CALENDAR “The Power of the People Don’t Stop!,” a program of short political documentaries curated by Marc Moscato, is at DIVA Tuesday. GET TO KNOW YOUR LOCAL BAKERS Q has worked at Sweet Life for six years as part of the incredibly talented wedding cake team. As a mother of 3, one of her sweetest memories was watching her children “discover” chocolate. Her favorite way to eat chocolate is; daily, bittersweet combined with caramel, or straight out of the box. She would never combine anise, peach and chocolate, but vanilla or citrus are perfect pairs. She discovered her competitive side in seventh grade when she won her first baking contest. She recently won first place in the professional category at the San Diego Cake Competition with her Alice in Wonderland tiered cake. Her biggest dessert dream is to be on a Cake Challenge on Food Network TV. Winning would be fun too.
