Jacqui Keseluk loves cake. Her passion for all things sweet encouraged her to enter the Recipe to Riches contest. Recipe to Riches is a new competitive reality series airing on the Food Network where, each week, Canadian home cooks battle to have their original recipes become a President’s Choice product and win $25,000. Jacqui’s Multi-Layered Peach Cake not only netted her $25,000 but also a chance to win the grand prize of $250,000.

Jacqui graduated from the Baking & Pastry Art program at Akerley Campus in 2011 and the Culinary Arts program in 2010. With visions of opening her own café and pastry shop, the grand prize would go a long way to turning this dream into reality.

“It’s been my dream since I was 15 years old. If I win the competition, I’ll be using the prize money to open a business in my home community of Fall River,” says Jacqui.
