With flashing lights and glitter flying in her kitchen, Daneshia Lynch whips up her sweet and sometimes boozy treats for her catering business, Drunkn Shots.
She told News 12 that the inspiration for her over-the-top baking delights come from her children.
"They make me feel like I'm their Wonder Woman,” says Lynch. “I just want to get them away from all the bad things out there and I want to show that you could do anything that you want to."
One of her proudest moments was having her baked goods featured on “Good Morning America.”
She hopes to have her own bakery soon and have her treats sold in stores.
"I want to leave [my kids] a legacy. That is what I'm doing this for," says Lynch.
