Watch Hungry Heart Bakery Win $10,000 on the Cooking Channel's Sugar Showdown

The Hungry Heart Bakery, specializing in cupcakes and located just around the corner from The Country Cat at 414 SE 80th Ave., just rocked the Cooking Channel's Sugar Showdown, winning $10,000. Owner Jax Button opened the bakery in February 2015 after operating a successful food cart, and on Sugar Showdown, she said she'll use the money to purchase new equipment, including a refrigerator and delivery truck.

"We're really excited about this win and are so proud that we were able to represent Portland," Button tells Eater. Taking pride in her up-and-coming Montavilla neighborhood, Buttons says the win is the second time a Montavilla restaurant won a television show, referencing Jackie and Adam Sappington's Chopped win in 2015.

Sugar Showdown is a new cooking show from the Cooking Channel, and Button competed in episode 13 of season 1. Watch her cupcakes decimate the competition:
