Bill Rhodes Bakery has done business in Snellville since 1984, cooking up everything from pastries to wedding cakes in a log cabin along U.S. 78.

Tonight, viewers will find out if they made a different kind of dough on "Family Feud."

According to a news release from the city of Snellville, the family behind the bakery — Becky Evans, Karen and Tom Williams, Taylor Gagnon and John Evans — competed on the popular game show during an April taping at the Atlanta Civic Center. The episode will air at 7 p.m. tonight on The CW network.

How the family performed remains a secret.

"All I'll say is it's hard when you get up on stage," Karen Williams said in the news release. "It's not like sitting in your recliner at home."
