I Skipped College To Bake Cakes - Now I Bring In $100K
This is why it’s important to nurture your child’s talent
Facts!!! And very well said!! ❤️🙏❤️❤️🙏
true, the people around me killed my talent, saying that there's no money in art.. they let me took accountancy in college and it brought me stress in my life. I am drained, I love creating things where I can express myself.. I just feel lost now..
@@maroonscarlet It's never too late to chase your dreams
@@mightytunesng thank you for this :)
Exactlyyyy
I love that his whole family from his mom, dad, and sisters are all taking part and helping out in different ways! It's so heartwarming
He totally smiled throughout the interview, speaking on his gift and passion!
I love how he has a smile through it all. ❤️

That happens to people that love what they do and are passionate for it, naturally.
He seems like such a nice guy. Happy for his success
you mean nice girl?
@@D1Junk why u said girl?
@@D1Junk why you said girl? 🤔
@@D1Junk grow up. i'm sorry you're sexually attracted to him and cannot cope.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 you mean her? sexually attracted to her?
Loved him on the Netflix show! Wishing him even more success.
When you have a family that comes together, the sky is truly the limit. Congrats to this entire family for supporting Justin in becoming such a cake boss, oh no wait, that's taken already, eH?
I like that the whole family is on the business and support him! Wish him lots of success 🎉
Wow this kid is making 100k as a 19 year old while others are building up debt in college of working minimum wage. Well done 👏
Passion meets practice. Promote it then watch the paper come.
This young man needs no luck. He's fulfilling his purpose.
Hope you all are cultivating what excites you! Go get it!!
Good for him, he seems so pure. I wish him continued success in his business 👏
I just love how laid back and smiley he is the whole video. Wish you success, wealth and health !!
I wish him so much success, he deserves it!
Good for him!! And great that his whole family is supportive!❤
Awww, I loved him on it’s just cake. Good luck to you Justin! I’d love to have him make a cake for me.
He seems so sweet. Wishing him all the success!!
Hehe, no pun intended
Oh I remember he was a contestant in Netflix, new baking contest. I was impressed by his level. Then it will take more time and reviews to look more professional. His flavors are really good.
I just noticed that he said he grossed a 100K. That's a very different from netting a 100K. I hope he is taking home enough money to make this work long term.
what's the difference between the two??
@@Ellesappellejejeje Gross is what you bring in before all expenses like employees, taxes, and materials, and net is what you get to keep after all your bills are paid.
can he even do much more? $100,000 and about 300 working days is still $330 a day. expensive cakes are something for special occasions and i think it's great that he got the weekends full (with more expensive cakes) so quickly. if he manages 100k net because he gets more complex orders, he has already reached the maximum. he markets himself and no employees, so hiring others could damage the image and sales.
@@Ellesappellejejeje very happy of his success. I just wonder how does he scale up his business, since it seems very tied to his unique skills.
@@Goldzwiebel An option would be to raise the price to make the cakes. He has the skill, and it’s knowing your worth plays a big part in this. He is 100% worth it.
It's so nice i stumbled on this video. I learned of this young man a few weeks ago after he posted doing Mary J Bliges birthday cake. He seems so humble & he hope he exceeds his own expectations.
I just watched this whole video and his smile made me smile :’)
This guy has great spirit. Seems like a wholesome beautiful soul.
I appreciate him going in detail about his process :)
He is one of the cutest humans on the planet! Love him and his cakes!
Great job Justin! I remember seeing him on Is It Cake? Glad to see that he's successful.
AMAZING!! This girl loves CAKE!!! I hope that one day I get a chance to try one of these cakes, they look BOMB! Much love from the BAY AREAAAA! Wishing you great success JUSTIN!!!

You are amazing. I work as a Pastry Chef pastry cook whatever you call it. In the hotels I come from a mixed background. It’s been very tough for me. I want to try to open up something Miami but I’m not sure some people say because of my color of my skin, nothing’s possible in Miami but thank you so much for encouraging me to want to open up something you are my superhero. Thank you so much.
JP from Miami
I am so happy for this young man
Congratulations Justin

Never let people tell you that family and business don't go together. Family and greed don't.
Awesome! ! You are a role model for all of us! ✌️
Wow i hate to see younger people doing better than me it hurts
Do something about it, let that drive you to do better!
This man is very talented 👏 👌 ❤❤❤
I learned about him on the Netflix series Is it cake.
That’s a good looking family!! And can I get a cake !!!! Wow
Congratulations!
That's amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great attitude sir
I know bulk sugar went up 60.00-80.00
Beautiful
I don't see why the last cake is over 3500$ what's more elaborate vs the previous over the top 1500$ cakes?
A simple cake with a minimal design could be up to $300 especially if you don’t have a stablished enough business, when you do that price can be lowered for a simple cake.
bigger + more design of a cake takes a lot of cake which is money and a lot of decorating that cost money and then to add in the hours of time you spent on the cake it does equal out to high prices. Cakes aren’t cheap or else make it yourself
Such a great story, to see this young man pursuing his passions and making a nice profit along the way. Thanks for sharing!
Respect
Good for him. Wonder if there's some special selling point about his business other that it's run by a teenager?
very cool!!
Very talented
I’m happy for you I really mean it trust nobody in I'm happy for you I really mean it trust nobody in this business Family number one I said don’t try to get too big to fast like I said don't try to get too big too fast I did that with close friends and they screwed me over Good luck with everything. Good luck with everything I really like you P from MIAMI used to work in the hotel for many years I JP from Miami used to work in the hotel for many years I don't anymore
L❤️v e! Practicing and practicing! Perfection!
*Look into a true purveyor situation with your ingredients;an egg source who can supply you at cost then you expose them as egg source for their sales. Make your own flour…or find someone to pay hourly there in the kitchen to make your own flour~then sell any extra flour to a local restaurant that makes their own signature desserts:advertising your custom cakes and local purveyor quality.
Bro got that wheelchair Jimmy smile!!😁
I'm not trying to be a hater but the cakes seem very expensive for what they are? the best looking ones are just basic cakes with stuff stuck on and the more complex ones seem sloppy/inexperienced, idk
Nice
I'm a student and i want to learn cakery......
I need to work for him I’m 33 years old I been making Foods for a while now I want to link up I’m from the Bay Area I will work for you to live up my experience and expectations
Amazing Justin!! You are so inspiring!!
🔥🔥🔥 dope business an got the family business!! Respect ✊🏿
100k in sales is impressive but what was your net? People always see sales numbers but don’t realize this is before expenses, taxes, overhead, payroll, you could make $100k a year but your take home was only $30k…
Just saw you on #sherritvshow. Congratulations 🎉
$3600 for a cake, screams inflation
Justin you came to my school
your mom and dad- unpaid employees.. which if you paid for them.. would prob cost you 20K each plus FICA. you are now running negative cash flow. this is a great learning experience!
