Speaker 1: little spiel about who you are, where you come from,
Speaker 1: how much, how many siblings you have, all that stuff,
Speaker 1: how you grew up.
Speaker 3: So I grew up in a one bedroom trade of
Speaker 3: home with my sister and brother and my parents, So
Speaker 3: that taught us a lot. You know, we didn't really
Speaker 3: have that much. But growing up, I was always the
Speaker 3: shy kid. I was always to myself, very like just yeah,
Speaker 3: just to myself. I always grew up, like I said, shy.
Speaker 3: I never really talk to anyone. I grew up not
Speaker 3: really having that much friends. So yeah, my childhood was great,
Speaker 3: but I enjoyed literally everything. And right now I have
Speaker 3: five siblings. We are a family of eight with my grandma.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, under the same roof.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, okay, And so it's just are you guys
Speaker 1: still in the trailer right now?
Speaker 3: Oh no, we're not in the trailer no more. We
Speaker 3: bought our first ever home last year in March.
Speaker 4: That's gone.
Speaker 1: Where do you fall?
Speaker 4: In the siblings, Like, how I'm the third child.
Speaker 2: The third child, Okay, so there's two older ones.
Speaker 1: Yes, how's your relationship with them?
Speaker 4: Honestly great. We always we all get along.
Speaker 3: They're always so supportive of me and with everything I do,
Speaker 3: they're always there to support me.
Speaker 2: That's I know.
Speaker 1: He came with his whole family in the car, which
Speaker 1: I love. I love that they support you and that
Speaker 1: they've helped you back up, back you up on this
Speaker 1: dream because you're cooking and you film these videos in
Speaker 1: the home with everybody around you.
Speaker 3: Uh well, most of the time, I just do it
Speaker 3: all out throughout the night. I really don't let my
Speaker 3: family get close to any of the desert type dude,
Speaker 3: because I don't know, I just feel like when you're
Speaker 3: like doing your like working, Yeah, yeah, I personally need
Speaker 3: my space and I enjoy being alone doing it and
Speaker 3: also filming it because I can't imagine filming it with
Speaker 3: all my siblings in the background.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of crazy. Yeah, I have, course I have.
Speaker 1: We're a family of well yeah five, we're five of
Speaker 1: us in total, and it's not and it's it's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's like just shut.
Speaker 3: Off, like literally, that's how I am most of like
Speaker 3: when I try to record content, like just meet the
Speaker 3: TV really quick, like let me try to get some
Speaker 3: as and more content or stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so what started what how did this all
Speaker 1: begin for you?
Speaker 3: So, like the baking journey, I got the inspiration from
Speaker 3: my parents and my grandma.
Speaker 2: They were bakers too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would bake cakes here and there, like when
Speaker 3: they didn't have probably enough money to go to the
Speaker 3: store to get like a cake, they he'd go like
Speaker 3: buy a box cake mix and do the cake there.
Speaker 3: So that really I was like, I want to do
Speaker 3: that too. And then one day I was scrolling on
Speaker 3: YouTube and I found this like TV show called Cake Boss.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if you're familiar.
Speaker 3: And then and on the time I grew up in
Speaker 3: there was really no guys who would bake girls. Yeah
Speaker 3: it's I was like, oh, like this is by cake Lady.
Speaker 4: But I don't know. That just really inspired me.
Speaker 3: I was like, if like he can do that, have
Speaker 3: his own business like named by him, I want to
Speaker 3: do that. And yeah, that just inspired me. It's always
Speaker 3: been a hobby of mine since I was a kid,
Speaker 3: and I continued it on. But I don't really tell
Speaker 3: anyone I baked, because usually this was and like you
Speaker 3: would see a guy doing, you know, right, So I
Speaker 3: just kept it all like to myself up until like
Speaker 3: my junior year of high school when I decided to
Speaker 3: start my business.
Speaker 2: Like promoting it. And so you were shy to do it.
Speaker 1: Were you scared because of high school people, what people
Speaker 1: would say, or just because like you didn't want to
Speaker 1: get bring it into.
Speaker 3: There, Like throughout my middle school, I like just didn't
Speaker 3: say nothing. I felt like after COVID, I like no
Speaker 3: one was around, so I was like like I'm gonna
Speaker 3: just do these I'm gonna do these cakes. And I
Speaker 3: really I really don't care like what anyone has to say,
Speaker 3: you know. So yeah, I just feel like right then
Speaker 3: and there, I was in independent studies, So my junior
Speaker 3: year of high school and that's when I started, I
Speaker 3: was like, you know what, if I want to do this,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it and not like care what like
Speaker 3: anyone has to say, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And is it to help your family as well,
Speaker 1: like help them out or is it more just for you?
Speaker 2: And like what is there like a motive like your
Speaker 2: passion for it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Honestly, yeah, this has definitely helped my family a lot,
Speaker 3: you know, like paying the bills or when they say, oh,
Speaker 3: like we don't have enough for the bills, hearing them
Speaker 3: like argue here and there. Yeah, it's something that like
Speaker 3: really inspired me to like keep up with it, you know,
Speaker 3: and social media wise, I started last year. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: that became another job of mine and getting that extra
Speaker 3: income just helps my family out. And I'm really like
Speaker 3: proud of myself for doing that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's because it's a lot of you guys.
Speaker 1: I saw you have little siblings, so it's like obviously
Speaker 1: they don't have they can't you know, help out, and
Speaker 1: obviously like it's just to be another helping hand for
Speaker 1: your family.
Speaker 2: And I'm I want to say that that's very.
Speaker 1: Admirable and very like you know, because you're not being
Speaker 1: selfish selfish about it. Yeah, you're doing it for your
Speaker 1: family and for you know, because of the way you
Speaker 1: grew up And in the trailer room.
Speaker 2: How was that?
Speaker 4: Honestly, it was really fun.
Speaker 3: I don't really have that much memory of it, but
Speaker 3: we literally all slept in one room and sometimes my
Speaker 3: dad would even grab a blanket and make a tent
Speaker 3: so that would like put like separate.
Speaker 4: Room, you know.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was honestly, it was always fun. We
Speaker 3: would always play outside and everything. I don't regret like that.
Speaker 2: There were good memories.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it taught us a lot, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1: Like what do you think it was like the most
Speaker 1: like the biggest lesson you've learned from that time of
Speaker 1: your life?
Speaker 4: Honestly?
Speaker 3: Probably just it keeps us humble to this day, like
Speaker 3: just coming from nothing and then just having like all
Speaker 3: these opportunities coming to me, something.
Speaker 4: That I won't forget, like where I came from, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and having that as your background and like
Speaker 1: like because it's because.
Speaker 2: Of your family.
Speaker 1: So now like going into like our baking little time,
Speaker 1: what was the first thing you ever made and what
Speaker 1: has been like your biggest order today?
Speaker 3: The first thing I ever made was probably I think
Speaker 3: it was fifth grade. It was like an animal cell
Speaker 3: project and we could do anything we wanted to do.
Speaker 3: So it was either you could like a poster, oh
Speaker 3: k yeah, like a like a dessert or anything like that.
Speaker 3: I remember my parents like we went to the store
Speaker 3: really quick and they did the cake and I was
Speaker 3: all decorating it, you know. So that's that was one
Speaker 3: of the first cakes I remember doing, and then I
Speaker 3: would do like shit cakes here and there for like
Speaker 3: family parties about diesels events, and then I continued it
Speaker 3: on there. My biggest order has probably been the Continuera
Speaker 3: one that I recently did.
Speaker 4: It was like a three tier cake, yeah, and then
Speaker 4: it was like a whole dessert table, but I didn't
Speaker 4: do the desserts.
Speaker 3: But that was probably one of the most stressful but
Speaker 3: most biggest orders I've gone in.
Speaker 1: Does your mom and grandma help you or it's just you?
Speaker 1: Because you said that, like you have gotten inspiration from them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, baking wise, they don't help me like in the kitchen,
Speaker 3: you know, like, but I like learned from them. But honestly,
Speaker 3: I've been self tall most of my most of the
Speaker 3: whole time that I've well since I grew up, you know,
Speaker 3: I've in itself tall the whole time. And yeah, like you,
Speaker 3: when I go to these events like the continuedas, my
Speaker 3: mom doesn't like being in the videos, so I like
Speaker 3: try to like cut her out, you know, but she's
Speaker 3: always the one who helps me set up like the
Speaker 3: flower arrangements like on the cake, so all that stuff
Speaker 3: you see, like toppers, any flower placements. You know, that's
Speaker 3: my mom right there. That yeah, but she doesn't like
Speaker 3: being in the videos.
Speaker 1: Because I could tell that you're a little shy and
Speaker 1: I used to be like that too, Like it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're it's also like a sign of protection,
Speaker 1: like protecting a little bubble and like making sure you know,
Speaker 1: no harm or whatever. But what inspired, like what puts
Speaker 1: you to start promoting it on social media? Because obviously
Speaker 1: as a shy person, you're like damn, like yea, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like a little it's a little weird. I I
Speaker 1: personally have felt a little weird when I've posted things
Speaker 1: before and like is this gonna do good?
Speaker 2: Or is this gonna you know, perform one?
Speaker 1: All right, you guys, we're gonna go on a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, you guys.
Speaker 1: What pushed you to start doing it on social media?
Speaker 3: So because before I would do just I would just
Speaker 3: promote like my work, you know, And one day I
Speaker 3: was I would always edit my videos in school, you know,
Speaker 3: I was always like alone most of the time. So
Speaker 3: one day I had recorded this like cake I did.
Speaker 3: It was like twelve am. I didn't sleep that I
Speaker 3: didn't sleep that whole night and by the time I finished,
Speaker 3: it was six am.
Speaker 4: Then I had to head to school. This was my
Speaker 4: senior year of high school.
Speaker 2: And this was like a paid order.
Speaker 4: Yeah, paid order.
Speaker 3: And this was during the week, the week days, so
Speaker 3: this is I remember telling me, don't take orders on
Speaker 3: the week days because you're gonna Yeah, and then I
Speaker 3: don't know, I took it per fun you know, and
Speaker 3: I wasn't doing nothing. And then I went to school
Speaker 3: and yeah, I edited the video my fourth fifth period
Speaker 3: when I would when that's the periods we don't really
Speaker 3: do nothing.
Speaker 4: So I edit it.
Speaker 3: By the time, like literally thirty minutes, got like millions
Speaker 3: of views. By the time I go home. I don't
Speaker 3: even remember how much I had, maybe like two to
Speaker 3: three million.
Speaker 1: Wow views.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's and you didn't expect it.
Speaker 4: I didn't expect it. But seeing all that engagement, you know.
Speaker 2: Like obviously the motive, it motivates.
Speaker 4: Me, like to this day it does.
Speaker 1: And Okay, so now we're here, we have what three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, almost four hundred thousand followers. Now that you're
Speaker 1: here in this position, you have an ongoing.
Speaker 2: Business, You get orders like this is is this.
Speaker 1: Something that you're committed to doing now, like as a
Speaker 1: career for the rest of your life, or is there
Speaker 1: something else that you want to do.
Speaker 3: If I'm being honest, like I got stuck into the business,
Speaker 3: Yeah I did. And it's like I said, it's always
Speaker 3: been a hobby of mine. But doing like doing that
Speaker 3: hobby every single day, it like gets tiring, you know.
Speaker 3: So I got stuck with it with the like it
Speaker 3: was a hobby like this day, and right when I
Speaker 3: started my Instagram with the continuous amount of orders, it
Speaker 3: became a job of mine. And I still see it
Speaker 3: as a hobby, you know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like to be honest, you've lost a little
Speaker 1: bit of passion and maybe just.
Speaker 3: A little bit a little bit, Yeah, I've lost it,
Speaker 3: and but I with the videos that I record it honestly,
Speaker 3: I prefer doing social media better than the business.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it gets tiring at times, but at the end
Speaker 3: of the day, this is what this is who I am,
Speaker 3: and this is what like the career God God gave me.
Speaker 3: And I'm continue it and maybe one day if I
Speaker 3: like lose the passion for it, I'll try to do
Speaker 3: something else is not gonna be something I want to
Speaker 3: do forever.
Speaker 1: But okay, what is something that you would want to do? Then,
Speaker 1: says you just you don't know. I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: tired of this. What is something maybe in the back
Speaker 1: of your head you're like, I would like to try
Speaker 1: this out or do this.
Speaker 3: I don't like I'd like to open a shop with
Speaker 3: my sister because she does like milkshakes, FRAPs.
Speaker 4: You know. Okay, yeah, like a bakery.
Speaker 3: Technically, yeah, like a cafe bakery, you know, but like
Speaker 3: not like take like custom orders there. I'd like to
Speaker 3: just have my desserts on like sat men. Yeah, like
Speaker 3: menu and everything. And yeah, maybe because with the custom
Speaker 3: orders it's difficult, you know, like it's like how they
Speaker 3: want it. You have to like perfect it like how
Speaker 3: they want it, and it's it's hard, you know. I
Speaker 3: don't see myself doing like in the future, but maybe
Speaker 3: like pastries, I want to move towards the pastries now
Speaker 3: and yeah, maybe one day open the shop with my sister.
Speaker 1: Have you seen people because I've seen a little bit
Speaker 1: of comments here and there, but have you seen people
Speaker 1: be inspired to be self taught and bake because of you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've gotten a lot of messages ever since I started,
Speaker 3: because I've seen a lot of guys even DM either
Speaker 3: were like oh, like you're like baking, but my parents
Speaker 3: don't let me because like I'm a guy, you know,
Speaker 3: and it's something like you don't see especially in a
Speaker 3: in the Hispanic culture, you know. So it's like I
Speaker 3: get comments here and there like oh, like don't like
Speaker 3: wire in the kitchen, go like work somewhere else, you know,
Speaker 3: and those don't get to me, you know, because at
Speaker 3: the end of the day, this is what this is
Speaker 3: my job, you know. And yeah, but just seeing those
Speaker 3: guys and girls as well, or like older people who
Speaker 3: say like and tell me like, oh, you've inspired me
Speaker 3: to start my baking business. I started my baking business
Speaker 3: because of you. So that really, I don't know. I
Speaker 3: just feel proud of myself right there because because I
Speaker 3: didn't think no, like I just did this for fun,
Speaker 3: you know, I was not really thinking anything of it
Speaker 3: when I recorded myself and I posted myself on social media.
Speaker 3: But just being a inspiration to others is something I'm
Speaker 3: really proud of.
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, because it's like you think like me,
Speaker 1: like why wow, like actually have the capability and the
Speaker 1: platform table to be able to inspire other people, and
Speaker 1: that's something that a lot of people. I think what
Speaker 1: I love the most about your story is that this
Speaker 1: was generally out of a hobby and a passion, and
Speaker 1: it comes with so much love. And then these are
Speaker 1: the gifts, These are the rewards of why you're doing this.
Speaker 1: You know, you get you're inspiring other people, You're making
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, food is food, but you get
Speaker 1: to make people happy and like, you know, and do
Speaker 1: things that also make you happy. And I think if
Speaker 1: there's anything I can tell you, obviously passion and burnout
Speaker 1: is gonna happen, you know, and that's normal. But I
Speaker 1: think it's obviously recentering yourself and remembering why you started it,
Speaker 1: who you're doing it for, And that's totally okay to
Speaker 1: take a break sometimes, you know, because it's a lot
Speaker 1: like it's not. It's very time consuming, it's insanely like,
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta wait till the cake freezes, you
Speaker 1: gotta wait till the bakes, you gotta make it exactly.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, is that just yourself?
Speaker 4: Or you ask people to help you to No, I
Speaker 4: asked my mom or my grandma.
Speaker 3: I like pay them, you know, like there was a
Speaker 3: time where I didn't sleep like for two days because
Speaker 3: of like the Kintina order, and yeah, I was like,
Speaker 3: you know, like there's no way I'm going to.
Speaker 4: Wash these dishes.
Speaker 3: I threw like I threw some in the dishwasher, but
Speaker 3: like the rest it was like all piled up, like
Speaker 3: it was like the whole calendar toop right there. And
Speaker 3: I was like Mom, like I'm I'm gonna leave the
Speaker 3: money here or my grandma and just like something, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's way too much.
Speaker 1: So now that you've done it, and I love that
Speaker 1: again that it is a whole little family project and
Speaker 1: that they support you and back you up and are
Speaker 1: with you because a lot of people don't have that,
Speaker 1: you know, like this is this is a passion because
Speaker 1: again you are a guy, and sadly it is looked
Speaker 1: frown upon and it's not okay according to.
Speaker 2: Some cultures or whatever.
Speaker 1: But I love that your dad, your mom support you
Speaker 1: and have your back. What is like your one piece
Speaker 1: of advice for someone your age or someone that's looking
Speaker 1: to get into this business or maybe in the simplest
Speaker 1: way of the way that you grew up as well,
Speaker 1: like what is lessons or advice that you can give
Speaker 1: to people who are inspired by your videos?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I really don't know, but.
Speaker 3: Probably just like if you see this and if something
Speaker 3: that you actually want to do, go for it because
Speaker 3: you never know like what like life has for you, you know,
Speaker 3: like this literally like last year, like I didn't think
Speaker 3: anything of this, and just following this dream I had
Speaker 3: and I knew, I knew it was going to be something,
Speaker 3: you know, like one day like I'm gonna put in
Speaker 3: that effort, but yeah, I never really imagined like getting
Speaker 3: like opportunities like these, So honestly, like just believe in
Speaker 3: yourself and hope for the best. And if you see this, actually,
Speaker 3: if you see this as something you actually want to do,
Speaker 3: like go for it, regardless of what people have to say.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: And we were just talking about your shirt when you
Speaker 1: walked in. But God, do you believe in God? Is
Speaker 1: that like your your what you guys believe in your
Speaker 1: family and stuff?
Speaker 2: Yes, that's beautiful.
Speaker 1: I think that having some type of foundation or believing
Speaker 1: in a higher power is like, yeah, it also helps with.
Speaker 4: Your And I think the back of my shirt says
Speaker 4: something too. I don't remember.
Speaker 2: Let me see dal is.
Speaker 1: Dal kills more dreams than failure ever, will that is?
Speaker 2: That's fires? There you go.
Speaker 1: It's like a testament of what you're believing in and
Speaker 1: who you are right now?
Speaker 2: All right, speed round questions?
Speaker 1: Okay, who would you like to make a desert for
Speaker 1: one day?
Speaker 2: Your goal?
Speaker 4: There's so many.
Speaker 2: Ooh, that'd be fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Cali Cally If anybody, anybody who knows
Speaker 1: Cally passed the word around least.
Speaker 4: Favorite thing to bake collie cake pops? Why?
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like when you roll them like sometimes
Speaker 3: they crack and it's the worst thing ever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like doing cake pops.
Speaker 1: Okay, menu, Okay, let's take them all, just kidding.
Speaker 2: What's your most favorite thing to do?
Speaker 4: Let's just cakes.
Speaker 2: If you weren't.
Speaker 1: Baking, obviously you graduated from high school. Right, let's say
Speaker 1: baking never existed in your family and whatever, what would
Speaker 1: you be.
Speaker 2: Doing right now?
Speaker 4: Photography? Okay?
Speaker 1: Is that something that you always had a passion for?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like you around middle school is when my parents bought
Speaker 3: me my first camera. Uh huh, Like I had the
Speaker 3: passion for you? I was, I hadn't done my Instagram too,
Speaker 3: And I've always loved photography. I've always loved the camera,
Speaker 3: but I never knew what to do with it. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I would say I would probably be doing videography, photography
Speaker 3: and all that.
Speaker 2: Suff that'd be cool.
Speaker 1: That's awesome and over and I want to I want
Speaker 1: to thank you because you do come from.
Speaker 4: Where's it from? Kerman? Yeah, Kerman?
Speaker 2: Where exactly is that?
Speaker 4: It's like fifteen minutes twenty minutes from President?
Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank you.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you making out the drive.
Speaker 2: He also made me a cake. I put two cake orders.
Speaker 1: When I reached out to him, I'm like, look, i've
Speaker 1: been a fan. I think I've been following you or
Speaker 1: i've been looking at your page for a while now,
Speaker 1: and i've seen you like in my lives and my
Speaker 1: comments too, and a lot of my friends are like,
Speaker 1: look at him, he's so cute, like he makes the
Speaker 1: cakes or whatever. And I'm like, I know, I know,
Speaker 1: but he made me cakes. I'm gonna bring one of
Speaker 1: them out so I want to show you, guys. But
Speaker 1: one one last big question your Obviously this is a
Speaker 1: small businesses right, and it can and it's going to
Speaker 1: get bigger. Obviously faithfully and yes, no it is.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 2: We're gonna believe it.
Speaker 1: Small business and obviously it's hard. What is your advice
Speaker 1: for small business owners.
Speaker 3: As a small business owner, I've learned a lot, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean my first two years in the business, I
Speaker 3: was making no profit, but I thought I was making profit.
Speaker 3: I went through lots of trial and error my first
Speaker 3: two years, and then the being of this year, I
Speaker 3: was about to quit.
Speaker 4: Really yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Just didn't see the profit, you know. But then I
Speaker 3: took a week and then I was like, let me
Speaker 3: just pick up my prices, you know, like just a
Speaker 3: little bit, like I'm not going to over exaggerate it.
Speaker 3: And yeah, like within that week, I saw the change,
Speaker 3: and I was like, maybe I can do this as
Speaker 3: a career, you know, because the first years I seen
Speaker 3: them more like as a hobby, you know, and I
Speaker 3: wasn't but I wasn't making nothing like no profit or
Speaker 3: nothing too. It wasn't really a business then. But you learn,
Speaker 3: you grow, and as a business owner, you have to
Speaker 3: you have to not be scared like to change, you know,
Speaker 3: like you have to you want to see the you
Speaker 3: want to see the change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have to make sacrifices. I think that's
Speaker 1: the most important thing as well, because owning a small
Speaker 1: business means time, money, and effort.
Speaker 2: And how big is the dream going?
Speaker 1: How big is it for you, you know, to keep
Speaker 1: feeding it and to keep pursuing it and doing it.
Speaker 2: And I think.
