Beth Madland
Beth Madland started decorating cakes when she received a Wilton starter kit in junior hight. While not a master decorator, Beth can hold her own with a star tip. She even "mastered" the rose while working at a bakery decorating cakes part-time.
Beth spent eight years in television news as a reporter, videographer, producer, and eventually hosted the number one morning news show in Lexington, Kentucky. But it was co-hosting a show called "Let's Do Lunch" that led to a long friendship with her co-host Melanie Glasscock.
Having more fun demonstrating crafts and cooking on TV during that afternoon show than covering the latest hard news story, Beth searched for work in the craft entertainment business and left news behind.
Beth lives in Idaho with her husband and two children, Coleman and Ella.
