Megan Hart Cake Designer (from TLC's Next Great Baker)

Megan Hart founded a small start up company "La Dee Dah's Cake Couture",  founded in October 2010.  

As the year meshed into 2011, the orders flew in, sometimes leaving the one woman Cake Designer with many sleepless, buttercream and fondant filled nights!

In April of 2011, Megan was invited to compete in a competition sponsored by Oakmont Bakery "Dream it....achieve it", which raised awareness for "The Young Women's Breast Cancer Foundation".  The competition was judged by none other than Buddy Valastro, more affectionately "The Cake Boss', from the TLC hit "Cake Boss" show.

2011 had many highs and lows, and ultimately in August of 2011, Megan was chosen out of 13,000 applicants to be one of the 12 contestants on Season Two of "Next Great Baker", TLC's reality spin off from "Cake Boss", which host Buddy Valastro put the up and coming cake artists to the test to see who could bake it to the top!

Watch for this season's upcoming "Next Great Baker" on TLC, Premieres November 28, 2011 at 9:00 p.m, 

After the show was filmed and ALL contestants were back home in their lives (to include winner), Megan had an unfortunate turn of events that almost took her life!

Moving forward in 2012, Megan has now been hired to help aid in the revitalization of DOZEN BAKE SHOP to offer the Burgh amazing cake couture!  Yes, Dozen Bake Shop did "close", but reopened and is relaunching with great daily specials, FRESH ingredients, scratch made amazing cupcakes, talented chefs and pastry chefs, and now the addition of Megan to create edible masterpiece couture cakes! 

LaDeeDahs, still registered to Megan, but the company is no longer in operation....never fear, the same great cakes, amazing works of edible art, and friendly service will translate very nicely with Dozen Bake Shop!  I can't wait to meet my new clients, welcome my faithful clients, and of course meet all of the fans from the show!

Thank you all for such a wonderful first year!
