Yolanda Gampp says she doesn't have to look far for ideas for the novelty cakes she creates on her YouTube channel "How to Cake It." Inspiration, she explains, is everywhere. "It's hard for me to look at an object and not wonder if I could make it out of cake," the Toronto- area native says. "For the channel, we love coming up with cake ideas inspired by what's going on in the world, whether it's Easter, a big movie release like 'Beauty and the Beast,' or Earth Day. We also get a ton of amazing fan requests." Whether it's a whole roasted turkey, a human heart or dragon eggs from "Game of Thrones," Gampp is a master at making art out of batter and frosting. She discovered her passion as a child 19 years ago and gradually honed her craft with the help of books, the George Brown culinary arts program in Toronto and lots of practice. That led to a baking business (celebrity clients have included novelist George R.R. Martin and Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block) and a stint on the 2012 Food Network Canada series "SugarStars." Though that series was canceled after one season, it was there that she met Connie Contardi and Jocelyn Mercer, with whom she would create "How to Cake It" in 2015. Two years and more than 200 episodes later, her channel has 2.8 million subscribers and had more than 258 million views. The baking business is shuttered and her time is now spent baking, filming and caring for her husband and toddler son. And she's one of YouTube's rising stars. "The series is my cake business now," Gampp says. "Instead of making one cake for one client at a time, I now make a new cake every week for all the amazing fans that follow me on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, to name a few of the places. It's amazing." What book are you currently reading? "I'm a mom with an active toddler and my own business – what are books and what is reading? Ha. When I do have time to read it's usually on my phone and one of my fave blogs is The Rebel Mama." What did you have for dinner last night? "I had some down time with my hubby and son actually, and we indulged at an amazing burger place in Toronto called Burger's Priest. Then we finished that off with some of the city's best donuts from The Rolling Pin. I don't think we could have eaten more calories if we'd tried." When was your last vacation, where and why? "Jocelyn, Connie and I get to travel, which is always so much fun because we end up exploring amazing restaurants and shopping. But my last true vacation was taking my husband to New York City and Brooklyn for his 40th. It wasn't relaxing, but it was fun and filled with good food and wine."
