Rochester Baker Takes On Harry Potter Baking Challenge

The Home Bakery in downtown Rochester, and its owner Heather Tocco, is currently being featured in the newest season of Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking on the Food Network.

The show, which is hosted by James and Oliver Phelps, who played the Weasley Twins in the films, is occasionally joined on set by other cast members from the films as contestants try to create incredibly detailed edible displays that are all themed around the Harry Potter series.

Heather got the opportunity to audition after she went viral and even got paid to visit from Amon-Ra Saint Brown from the Detroit Lions after she baked and assembled a head-stand celebration cake around him.

Recently, WXYZ documented Heather‘s experience on the show, which is currently in its second season in with episode six set to air on December 7.

We were actually in London doing it on the Harry Potter sets in the Grand Hall, and I still get goosebumps thinking about that I even had the opportunity to do it. Harry Potter, that universe is right up my alley. Being a huge Harry Potter fan, why not celebrate it in our Christmas window this year as well? It's so fun to be able to see people's faces, seeing us do what we do, and really being able to show off on the talents. It brings me so much joy that we're a part of other people's memories.

The show can be watched on HBO Max and the Food Network. The full episode of the 2nd season can be viewed below.
