Approximately 15,600 people were treated in hospital emergency departments for fireworks injuries in 2020  compared to the 11,500 ER-treated fireworks injuries in 2021.

Shirley Hughes of Sweet Cheats Bakery: Shirley will show us a patriotic trifle dessert.   Sweet Cheats was created by a National Level Figure Competitor, Shirley Hughes, along with her husband Robert Tubbs and with the help of many friends and family.  During her 3 years spent training for her NPC competitions, Shirley was only allowed to eat certain foods and wasn’t always able to have what she was craving. She began taking notes on these cravings, and turning them into little treats for herself when her strenuous dieting for each competition was over.   While in training, one "cheat" meal was allowed per week, and hers were usually sweet concoctions.  She then decided on a whim to turn her favorite treats into cupcakes not only for herself but for fellow teammates, the RocStarzz, as personal gifts.  From there, requests started coming in and the demand was on.  It was an instant success!
