Meet Taniya Nayak in person as we kick off 2016 at the Salt Lake Home Show this January. Taniya is a tastemaker of the interior design
community, after becoming a household name as a design expert on HGTV and Food
Network. She has a sharp eye and a talent for giving any space a fresh and clean
look.
One could say that Taniya has design in her blood. Influenced from an early age by her father, who worked as an architect, Taniya pursued a master’s degree in interior design to fulfill her undeniable desire to create. Fresh out of design school, she made her television debut as a designer on ABC Family’s show called Knock First. The show ended after two years and she made the jump over to HGTV. Taniya has since been featured on many HGTV design shows over the last 10 years. The show that really launched her career was called Designed to Sell. Taniya is now living her dream. She’s in her 12th season of Restaurant: Impossible on the Food Network, while running her own design firm out of Boston.
We spoke with Taniya and got first hand insight about her upcoming appearance at the 2016 Salt Lake Home Show.
Q: What is your design philosophy?
Taniya: "My design philosophy is to make comfort and style go hand in hand to create bliss."
Q: What advice would you give to someone who wants to improve their space?
Taniya: "I would say don't worry about following trends; do what makes you happy!"
Q: What can you tell us about your upcoming Slat Lake Home Show appearance?
Taniya: "I would like everyone to come prepared with lots of questions! I will be sharing my best tips and secrets on design. Including, where to shop, how to plan, and what to look for - and how to get the most bang for your buck!"

In September 2011, One Sweet Slice won the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars (Star Wars episode), Best of State for 2013 and Best of Utah by City Weekly 2013. Owner Janell Brown started baking cakes as a hobby 9 years. This hobby quickly turned into a refined talent and soon a business.
As the cake requests increased, Janell's husband Trent designed and began marketing a website so customers could find basic information on the company and its products. In 2011, due to high demand, Janell and Trent decided to open their first storefront in South Jordan Utah. As the brand continued to grow, they opened their second location in Sandy, Utah in April 2013.
Janell will join us at the Deseret News Home Show on the kitchen stage October 11th at 5pm and 12th at 3pm.

Ingredients
Place the chocolate and water in a bowl. Let sit for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate mixture until smooth. Add the applesauce, sour cream, oil, vanilla and eggs. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the brownie mix, flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, pudding mix, pepper, cinnamon, baking powder and salt to the chocolate mixture. Mix until combined. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup three-quarters full. Bake until done, 21 to 23 minutes.
For the icing: Whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (be careful not to overbeat, or the cream will be grainy). In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.
Frost the cupcakes with the icing.
