This week on Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs, I’m joined by the incredibly talented (and incredibly sweet!) Asia Coffee—award-winning cake artist, YouTube creator with over 100,000 subscribers, Food Network alum (Holiday Wars, Season 3), and “Sugar Angel” with Icing Smiles.
Asia’s journey is inspiring, relatable, and sprinkled with wisdom. From overcoming imposter syndrome to navigating burnout after the spotlight, she shares how consistency, creativity, and a dash of grace helped her grow a thriving business and community.
Three Key Takeaways
- Consistency beats perfection — “It wasn’t about making it perfect, it was about showing up anyway.”
- Imposter syndrome doesn’t get the final say — “The best is yet to come—keep going, things will change for the better.”
- Grace is part of growth — “I can do hard things. But I also get to ask—how hard do I want to make them for myself?”
If you’ve ever wondered whether you started too late, felt like you didn’t belong, or questioned your creative path—Asia’s story will remind you it’s never too late to begin.
