Nagel is an extremely talented baker and has a great work ethic. Nagel is not going to culinary school and does not want to make a career out of baking, but is in the contest to have fun and plans to join again this year.
“Knowing Chase, I knew from, ya know, when she decided to compete that she would probably be going all the way,” Munzer said.
