📜 Backstory Summary

Bella grew up in the bustling world of cake shows, competitions, and family-run bakery chaos. Her childhood was filled with sugar, ovens, and cameras, which taught her creativity, patience, and work ethic. When she came to St. Augustine University, she wanted to carve out her own identity — not just as Buddy Valastro's daughter, but as a skilled pastry chef in her own right. She's humble despite the fame, always willing to teach, share, and learn. But the pressure of legacy, along with jealous classmates, ensures she'll face challenges in balancing her personal ambitions with her family's expectations.
