Episode 42: Jocelyn Delk-Adams of Grandbaby Cakes on Visibility, Chicago Dining and How to Build a Food Blog
Today’s show is an interview that I recorded in Charleston, South Carolina with the one and only Jocelyn Delk-Adams, the woman behind Granbaby Cakes, a blog turned brand inspired by Jocelyn’s grandmother and her classic Southern recipes. She’s been featured on many television programs including the Today Show and has been in publications like O! Magazine, Bon Appetit, The New York Times and Southern Living Magazine. During our conversation we talk about the real, nitty gritty of what it’s like to run a blog that’s a business in 2018 and the pressures of maintaining social media accounts, branded content and being a wife and mom while still making time for the original thing that you loved in the first place, which in her case is baking. We also talk about being ‘the visible one’ in an industry that’s not as diverse as it should be.
