We are lucky to have so many talented bakers in the Houston area -- but we knew Aydee Deaton of Sugar Berry Cookie Shoppe was the *perfect* person to help celebrate Tessa's birthday. From her appearance on the Food Network to her popular classes and work in the community, Aydee's skills are next level. Watch as she shows Houston Life hosts Derrick and Tessa how to decorate one of her delicious cookie cakes.

Aydee Deaton from Sugarberry Cookie Shoppe was chosen to compete on the Food Network’s ‘Christmas Cookie Challenge.’ We’re getting a sneak peek of what she’s baking for the competition and learning some decorating techniques to elevate holiday desserts at home ahead of her episode.
