Cast Detail: Teal Team - Rebecca and Ashley

Rebecca Reed – Pastry Chef
Rebecca Reed is a successful executive pastry chef, leading three different teams at the Black Sheep Restaurant Group in Jacksonville, Florida. After her husband Ben encouraged her to follow her heart and go to culinary school, she graduated from the French Culinary Institute and interned under a James Beard Award-winning chef. Rebecca is here to prove that working moms can do hard things, and that she can compete at the highest levels of competition.

Ashley Ball – Cake Artist
Ashley Ball is a mom of four boys from Rock Spring, Georgia, and a formidable force when it comes to baking and power tools. Her expertise ranges from making handmade furniture to 3D-sculpted cakes. She’s entirely self-taught in the kitchen and first started experimenting with cakes when her husband was traveling for work. Ashley has a super-competitive streak and can turn anything into a competition, so she’s ready to bring her statement cakes to the City of Seuss and come out a winner.
