Aguirre, co-owner of Délice Chocolatier and Patisserie, is no stranger to the national spotlight thanks to his involvement with Food Network.

“I’m so grateful that Food Network keeps giving me opportunities,” Aguirre told MySA. “It’s mind-blowing that all this is happening. It seems like people like to see me on TV, which is great!”
In the new competition show, Aguirre will assess teams of gingerbread artists tasked with building holiday-themed scenes with the spiced pastry, MySA reports.
