Before the pandemic, Conner Derogatis got home late after sports practices, often scarfing down a hot dog for dinner as he sat by himself at the kitchen counter. While the 14-year-old had always liked to bake usually relying on mixes he didn’t have much time for it. But when school went remote, Conner was looking for things to do, particularly since he has severe asthma and needed to be extra careful not to catch COVID-19.
