So happy to see him on the podcast! He’s one of the reasons I got back into baking, seeing him pursue his dream at such a young age made me realize I should have done the same a longgg time ago. So glad everyone gets to see the process of baking/decorating cakes in his content cause it ain’t for the weak 💀😂 So proud of you Andre!! Wishing you continued success on your journey 🎉

Not only is his talent admirable but his sense of responsibility. Props to his family as well for their support. This is an example of a traditional Hispanic family 👏🏼

I can tell he is nervous. He so so cool. And I can tell he cares about his family. When I do my road trip to the west coast I’m definitely gonna grab treats from him ❤

Great interview. He is a very talented young man. And there's no shame in being a successful male baker. It's nice to see that he is grounded and has his family and abuelita's support.

LOVE this for him! I'm a silent follower of Andres but hes truly an inspiration! I'm a small business baker from Parlier, Ca! So seeing someone so close to home do big things is freaking amazing!!

I’m a longtime baker. Been a barista because the kitchen became too toxic so I respected myself and left to give myself a break. Trying to decide between the money and my passion right now. Baking and pastry graduate me would kill me if she knew I was a barista rn but I hope she understands how expensive life is. I will get back to it and this was such a cute story. Thank you for this

[@brendam888]

I sell fresh juices but only to close friends and co workers. I haven’t put myself out there cus I’m not ready. For a while I did have a lot of orders for a while and I also got tired. I wouldn’t even enjoy it sometimes or even have energy to make myself some 😂 but soon I will.

[@mariacatalan.]

Jenicka seems to makes everyone feel so comfortable. The one advice i will give is her not chew so loud as her guests are talking its rude and not always say "oh yea that happened to me, that was me and or I felt that way too". Its about him not so much her. This young kid is admirable❤

[@monicalopez7251]

I am a big fan and excited for the both of you. I wish I lived in California to place a order. I just love all his tiktoks.

[@Andresdelights]

Thank you so much for the support 🙏🏼
