    This Week with Molly: That’s a Wrap!

    What will we do without Molly Mondays? And Recap Tuesdays?

    Molly Manning Robertson had an amazing run on Food Network’s Spring Baking Championship! The FINALE happened Monday night on Food Network. Unfortunately, Molly didn’t make past the bake-off and those boys better be glad she didn’t, because we all know she would have smoked them in that final wedding cake challenge!

    In our last recap interview with Molly, we talk about it all! How did she feel about the outcome? What would she have made if she had been in the final challenges? And what is next for Molly?

    Oliva talks about all these things and more with Molly. Plus, after discussing it all and reading some of the nicer tweets about the show, Oliva also gets to deliver a little fan mail to Molly.

    Again, everyone at 95 Country and throughout Natchez and the Miss-Lou are so proud! And we know that we’ll be seeing more from her soon. In the meantime, order some of her delicious baked goods for yourself!

  • This Week with Molly: Recap for Ep. 9 of the Spring Baking Championship on Food Network

    This Week with Molly: Recap for Ep. 9 of the Spring Baking Championship on Food Network

    This will definitely contain SPOILER ALERTS for Monday night’s episode of the Spring Baking Championship, although it’s likely that everyone following Molly journey and the show are caught up.

    Molly Manning Robertson dropped by the 95 Country Studio again yesterday to recap Monday night’s rollercoaster episode and share some of her other struggles running a bakery from home in Natchez.

    We are so thrilled that this week was not our last Recap Interview with Molly! It was a close one!  No matter the outcome, next week is the Finale, which means it’s our last Spring Baking Championship Recap Interview, as well.  But like so many others, we look forward to watching anything she does in the future.

    The Spring Baking Championship on Food Network will air its Finale next Monday at 7PM, and while Molly is not officially one of the finalists yet, she and Luke will go head-to-head in a Bake-Off during the beginning of the episode to see which one will go on to compete with Christian and Clement in the final competition.  Someone will be named the CHAMPION at the end of the episode!

    This week’s episode had us all emotional with Molly and you could practically hear the collective sigh of relief and triumph when they announced that Molly would have another shot at the Final!

    Olivia goes through all of this and more with Molly during yesterday’s 2-part interview.

    No matter the outcome of next week, Natchez is so proud of Molly and lucky to call her “our own.”

    Watch BOTH videos below for the full interview and be sure to tune in next Monday on Food Network for the finale, and then 95 Country for Tuesday’s interview.

    Molly Manning Robertson visits the studio to recap her Food Network experience so far with Olivia

    We invited Molly Manning Robertson into the 95 Country studio Tuesday, March 14th, to chat with Olivia about her current Food Network debut on the Spring Baking Championship.

    The second episode of the current season of the Spring Baking Championship aired last night on the Food Network. It’s safe to say viewership was way up here in Natchez, MS, as we are all cheering for our very own Molly!

    Olivia and Molly had a great conversation, starting with a short recap of how she got started in baking and what led her to the Spring Baking Championship.  Then, they dove into specifics about last night’s episode (spoiler alert).  For example, what was going through her mind when she so confidently used her hard-won advantage in the second challenge to actually choose habanero of all the peppers?!

    We had such a good time with Molly, we’ve decided to have her back for weekly recaps, so tune in next Tuesday during the noon hour for more from our local Food Network star, Molly Manning Robertson.  And be sure to tune into the Spring Baking Championship on the Food Network, Mondays at 7PM.
