Pansino has gained quite the large following since she first launched her YouTube channel in 2011.
Pansino had a long journey to YouTube superstardom.
She was born inSeattle, WashingtononJune 8, 1985.
Pansino revealed in an interview withNew Media Rockstarsthat she developed her love of baking thanks to her grandmother.
I have always loved being creative with my food and making themed sweets for my friends."
The things I enjoyed growing up were considered nerdy at the time.
I loved reading, science, video games, math and took AP calculus in high school."
She was also an extra onGleefor two seasons and even spent time as a production assistant.
But it was only a matter of time before she developed a show of her own.
But that didn’t happen overnight.
This was initially suggested to help her with her aspirations of becoming an actress.
As her viewership and success grew, so did her production team.
She toldCosmopolitan, “My agent pulled me into a meeting and told me I had to choose.
So, she decided to continue her YouTube videos, knowing that her agent would drop her.
And, as we all know, her success didn’t stop there.
But there is a perfectly good reason for that.
She is consistently working out and making changes in what she eats.
It isn’t an intense workout but keeps me toned and gives me energy for the day.”
She continues, “As for my diet…
I have never been able to diet.
I love trying new food, restaurants, and sweets everywhere I go.
Being extremely petite I’m a big fan of portion control.
I enjoy all food in moderation.”
Totally realistic and relatable.
The designs themselves are brightly colored with quirky and “whimsical” elements to each product.
The book quickly became a New York Times bestseller and was yet another great achievement for the successfulYouTube star.
The book has over 420 full-color photos."
She also included vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options for those with food restrictions or allergies.
Pansino has also been smart about how she manages her money from a young age.
I put that into my savings account and that was my rainy-day fund.
It wasn’t easy."
This results in her working about 100 hours a week, according to this interview she did withCNBC.
She revealed that her dream is to keep creating content that she is “passionate about”.
