She won the KISS Country Midtown Miami Cornbread Competition, beating other trained chefs in the area.
Before she knew it, orders started pouring in.
People started calling asking, "Is Taylor going to bring her cookies this week? Is she going to bring her cupcakes this week?" said Taylor's dad, Vernon Moxey.
