Gwinnett baker featured on 'Cake Wars'

Charlise Johnson, who runs a custom-order boutique bakery called Intimate Eats in Norcross, will appear on the show at 8 p.m. Saturday. A news release said she and her Garfield-themed cake did not win the competition (and the $10,000 prize), but made it to the final round.

"I've received overwhelming support from my family, friends and customers since being on the show," Johnson said in the news release. "Although the outcome wasn't exactly what we were hoping for, it was an amazing experience! I appreciate all of the support I've received from everyone."

Johnson studied computer science at the University of North Carolina and works as a database developer. She launched Intimate Eats in 2013 and credits her mother, a successful caterer, with inspiring her love for baking.
