After trading the hot lights of fashion in the pages of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar for the radiating heat of the bake oven, Ashley took the prize in the TLC series Cake Boss: Next Great Baker.  She then went onto Food Network’s Chopped, The New York Cake Show (2016 shoe category /2017 Best In Show) and placed second on Food Network’s Dessert Games and FYI’s Cake Fest. 

Ashley is a Pastry Chef, Cake Artist, Culinary Producer and Food Stylist.  She goes by the moniker of Sugar Monster—and is a master of cake artistry and a sought after television personality.  It wasn't always easy, and Ashley vulnerably tells her journey through self doubt, early adult eating disorders and the complete hustle it has taken her to earn a seat with the elite artists in the culinary and baking world.

Ashley is now one of the featured artists on Christina Tosi’s Bake Squad on Netflix, and her work has appeared on the Today Show, in Martha Stewart Living and Magnolia Table.  Stay tuned to the end when Ashley answers an adorable hotline call from one of her younger fans!
