足交视频 native Samantha Garza has always loved baking. That love for baking took her to culinary school in Austin after graduation from East High School in 2015 and now has brought her to your television screen.

鈥淚 hope my love for baking comes through the TV. I want to show my two siblings that they can do whatever they want to do,鈥 Garza says.

On Thursday, Garza will make her TV debut on Fox鈥檚 third season of 鈥淐rime Scene Kitchen,鈥 a reality baking competition. The episode will air at 8 p.m.

Six teams of friends will compete against one another. This season will pit teams of friends against teams of family members,

In each episode, teams of two bakers must deduce what desert was previously prepared in the kitchen by inspecting tools and examining food remnants left behind. Bakers then re-create the dessert they think they have identified from scratch. Judges evaluate each team鈥檚 dish based on how accurately they identified the dessert, the taste and how they execute it.

鈥淭he show is so much fun. Everything in the kitchen is there for a reason. The whole time they鈥檙e trying to trick or mislead you,鈥 Garza says.

The season premiered on Sept. 26, but Garza will appear for the first time on the show Thursday. Garza and April Saldanda will be competing as team co-workers. Garza works as a cake decorator in Austin at Pflour Shop, which Saldanda owns.

鈥淎pril was actually the one who signed me up for the show. She never asked me; she just started filling out the form. I never thought I鈥檇 get on the show,鈥 Garza says.

When she finally got the call that they were going to be on the show, Garza couldn鈥檛 believe it.

鈥淚t was crazy. I just kept waiting for someone to tell me it was all a joke,鈥 Garza says.

After a month of interviews and sending in pictures of their cakes, Garza and Saldanda were off to Toronto for filming. While there, Garza spent her days getting back to the basics and studying recipes.

鈥淚 felt like I was back in culinary school. I had to remember French pastries and European classics and things I just don鈥檛 make that often,鈥 Garza says.

Days on set were bright and colorful, but not without stress. Garza is still on her toes, thinking back to the time crunch created while she tried to re-create desserts. Some days, stayed on set from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

鈥淚t was so cool in-person getting to see how everything works,鈥 Garza says.

Her favorite part of the show was the way it took her back to baking. It took her back to when she was in middle school and baking for her family during the holidays.

鈥淣o one in my family can bake, especially my mom. I鈥檓 sorry, Mom. But then she would tell you the same thing. She鈥檇 burn the bottom of cookies,鈥 Garza says.

While on the show, she didn鈥檛 bake to make money She baked for the sake of it.

鈥淟ife was hard after high school. I had two jobs and I worried about paying my bills,鈥 Garza says.

Appearing on a national television baking competition is something out of her comfort zone, but Garza says it served its purpose.

鈥淓ven if things go wrong, it happened for a reason and that reason was to make you better,鈥 Garza says.

Garza is grateful for her time on the show and says she learned from others the entire time she was there. She never thought her sweet tooth and the joy she gives others would land her on national television.

Her advice to anyone who wants to bake is just do it, especially if it is something you love. The more you do a hands-on craft like baking, the better you鈥檒l get.

鈥淒on鈥檛 be scared of hard things,鈥 Garza says.

After keeping the secret for almost seven months, Garza is excited for her first episode to air and to make her friends and family proud. To watch Garza鈥檚 episode Thursday, tune in to local station FOX KVCT or watch the next day online at .
