The Mom here! When I heard about ten year old baker/business kid Justin James,
aka Juss Baked in Valley Stream, Long Island, I told Wave about it and sure enough, she wanted the interview….and hopefully a cupcake! She got her questions ready and soon enough we were with him in his kitchen, decorating (and tasting!) his delicious treats.  foto_no_exif-33Here is their interview:

You must follow directions if you’re using a recipe to bake. Also, when decorating you have to have patience.
