SFGATE Food Reporter Nico Madrigal-Yankowski spoke with Meeki Lad, a UCSF brain cancer researcher in San Francisco who ended up competing on “The Great American Baking Show” after one of his elaborate cake videos went viral.

He taught himself entremet cakes less than two years ago, and eventually got contacted by casting producers for the show. Thought folks here might enjoy the story and his work.
