Food Network Host And Judge Kerry Vincent Is Dead At 75

Starting in 2006, Vincent kicked off her time as one of the marquee judges on Food Network Challenge, and that run lasted for six years and 75 different episodes of sweet-toothed excellence.

That definitely wasn’t her only claim to sugary fame, of course, as she also founded The Grand National Wedding Cake competition, an annual event that Food Network has broadcast on several different occasions.

A world-renowned master of the sugar arts, Kerry Vincent began her time as a TV staple a few years after officially retiring from her hall-of-fame culinary career in 2001.
