Paul, 198 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: everyone is clamoring to get one of these Japanese cakes? 199 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 3: What is the backstory? How long have you been making 200 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: these ones? 201 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 5: So been making it since nineteen eighty eight. 202 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 6: And it was funny because I went home when all 203 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 6: this stuff happened, because we have changed that made it 204 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: a bit lighter and less sweet over the years. And 205 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 6: actually looked at the recipe which was written down on 206 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 6: the back of the recipe. It says invented on the 207 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 6: eighth of the eighth, nineteen eighty eight. 208 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 5: So in Chinese that. 209 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 6: Is pretty I'm lucky, they tell me buzz. So we've 210 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 6: been making it since then. It's just two layers of 211 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 6: armond and hazel, not meringue. And there's Japanese. If you 212 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 6: google Japanese, there's so many different versions of Japanese. So 213 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 6: the actual meringue is called a Japanese marine. That's where 214 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 6: the name comes from. And then what you do with 215 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 6: the cake is your business. And I decided being a 216 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 6: chocolate shop. I thought I'd just do it with chocolate 217 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 6: and cream. And it's so simple, it's ridiculous. 218 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: A part of this success is all down to Max 219 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: and Margie. Do you still keep in touch with both 220 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: of them? 221 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, so I've said to Max, I said, I can't 222 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 6: believe what you've done to me, and he said, I 223 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 6: can't believe actually what's happened. 224 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 5: He said, I've never seen anything like this. 225 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 6: He said, I've posted for about four or five years now, 226 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 6: and he said, this is just this has taken him 227 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 6: by surprise. I spoke to Margi yesterday because we've had 228 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 6: a couple of the networks in print media come this 229 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 6: morning and I said, they would love to meet you, 230 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 6: and she said, I just can't do it, Paul, I 231 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 6: just can't do it. I'm too shy and I just 232 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 6: can't do it. But Maiden, it's more concerned about our 233 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 6: being overworked. 234 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 4: In what it is. 235 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 6: And she actually said to me yesterday, if you need 236 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 6: a hand, I can come and give you a hand. 237 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 6: I can at least wash the dishes for you. 238 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 3: Oh to Love week, I wanted to ask about that. 239 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 3: All this kind of overnight success is it daunting?

It really means it's just numbers. 246 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 6: But when I see a Q standing out the front, 247 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 6: then I kick into gear.
