8-Year-Old Defeats Adult Chefs in Baking Competition

Watch out, Cronut! Our money is on this 8-year-old baker to create the next pastry fad to sweep the nation.

Meet Taylor Moxey, a pint-sized baking prodigy from Miami, who recently beat out all her adult competition — of trained chefs! — to win first place at the KISS Country Midtown Miami Cornbread Competition, theDaily Mailreports.

After school is done each day, she heads straight home to begin baking and customizing cupcake boxes. But kitchen time isn’t the only thing on her busy schedule: “Let’s say on Monday, I get home early, I start baking [right away] because I also have dance,” shetells ABC.

Taylor had to have outgrown her Easy-Bake oven years ago, so where does all this talent come from?

At this ambitious pace, it’s hard to predict which she will accomplish first: her dream of opening her own bakery, or graduating from elementary school.

Of course, Moxey likes eating cupcakes as much as she likes making them. “Sometimes I just frost them and eat them,” she says.

Watch her and a friend in action in the kitchen in the brief (but adorable) home video below:
