Interview with Precious
It was a pleasure sitting down with Precious to ask some questions and get to know her better.
Check out with Precious had to say in our interview:
How did your cake/treat decorating journey begin?
I have always loved sweets! For as long as I can remember. I saw a wedding cake for the first time at six years old and thought, how cool!! I can’t believe you can eat that! I used to create random treats out of snacks in our pantry after school, my siblings were my taste testers. At 12, I started baking cupcakes and selling them at school. Here I am at 31, still doing it! I fell into treats during the pandemic. I had always loved candy making and treat making, but the extra time at home really gave me a chance to experiment with everything, I love it so much!
What is your favorite process of baking/cake decorating?
Definitely the decorating! Funny enough, I don’t love the baking part of baking, it’s getting to put it all together in the end and creating what I see in my head that gets me excited.
Do you have cake trends that you’re currently loving?
I’m really into vintage Lambeth cakes right now. I love piping, and that style really allows you to be creative with it!
What advice would you give yourself at the beginning of your career regarding running a small business?
I would definitely remind myself to keep going, even when it seemed impossible, and to stop doubting myself, I am good enough.
Where do you find your inspiration from?
Anywhere! Clothes, songs, fun patterns on notebooks, etc! I’ve taken many random pictures of something cool and said, “How do I make this edible?”
What advice would you give someone wanting to pursue a content creation career?
Content creation is a hard job! Lots of hours, and it’s a very self-motivated field. I’d advise anyone looking to start to take it seriously, it is a REAL job. Stay consistent and create from the heart things you truly truly love. The rest will fall into place. Most importantly never ever give up!
What is your favorite/least favorite part of content creation?
My favorite part of creating is just that, creating, having an idea, and bringing it to life is so fulfilling! My least favorite part is trying to be paid for it. Finding monetized content work has proved to be a tall task!
What is your favorite dessert?
Cupcakes!!! Funfetti cupcakes with cream cheese buttercream.
What do you do to unwind after a long day?
I love to curl up in bed and watch old rom-coms at the end of a long day
I would definitely remind myself to keep going, even when it seemed impossible, and to stop doubting myself, I am good enough.
