With two challenge wins to her name, Fourie has already proved herself a force to be reckoned with. She won the judges over with a mouth-watering orange and poppy seed cake in the Mother's Day challenge, and followed it up with a winning mushroom fagottini – an Italian-inspired stuffed pasta dish. All her recipes can be found on The Taste Master SA's website for viewers and foodies to try out.
Fourie grew up in the Lowveld and began cooking and baking with her grandmother at just five years old in their family-owned hotel, the Böhm Zeederberg Country House in Hazyview.
'I remember preparing snacks for the guests with my grandmother in the kitchen and enjoying the new things I learnt from her,' Fourie shared.
She also learnt to cook in her mother's restaurant, the Bohemian Groove Cafe, situated in her hometown, Kaapsehoop. She was a learner of Hoërskool Nelspruit and competed in a few cooking competitions. In Grade 11 she won her first cooking competition, 'Skole Kook' in Mpumalanga with her team in 2017.

After finishing school, she was awarded a scholarship at the Capital Hotel School in Pretoria and pursued her dreams of becoming a pastry chef. She has her own patisserie called Botter is Liefde, where she makes custom cakes and pastries. Through The Taste Master SA competition, she hopes to improve her cooking skills and expand her network in the culinary industry.
'Of course winning would be the icing on the cake, but I'm here for the experience,' Fourie admitted.

WATCH: Ciara nails the viral Nicki Minaj pose challenge
Ciara nails the viral trend. Image: Screenshot / TikTok Ciara has officially entered the chat and dominated the viral 'Nicki Minaj pose challenge,' leaving her fans stunned. The singer, dancer, and mom of four proved she's still very much that girl by flawlessly recreating the now-iconic pose from Nicki Minaj's 2013 'High School' music video. In the original clip, Minaj strikes a fierce squat pose beside a pool while wearing towering platform heels. The pose that started the viral trend.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ What started as a jaw-dropping moment in pop culture has become a full-blown viral challenge, with fans and celebs alike trying to top each other in creativity and difficulty. Ciara, like so many others, took the challenge to the next level. Dressed in a sleek, all-black outfit paired with sky-high Christian Louboutin Condora heels, she added her own twist by balancing on two dumbbells. And as if that wasn't enough, she casually held a bottle of water in one hand, making it look like a walk in the park. Personally, standing and walking in those killer heels would be a balancing act in itself. The trend has seen people pulling off the daring pose on some seriously wild props. We're talking wine bottles, Stanley cups, chairs, countertops, and even a mailbox. The more outrageous the setup, the more likes and shares. With almost 15 million views, one of the first videos to go viral was by Kristy Sarah, who, just like Ciara, executed the pose on dumbbells. With the challenge still trending across social media, it's clear this isn't just about striking a pose. It has become a test of balance, creativity, and confidence.
