In this episode, we’re diving into the world of pastries, perseverance, and passion with Chef Danielle Sepsy ('12), founder and creative genius behind The Hungry Gnome, the popular and innovative wholesale bakery and catering company based in New York City.
Danielle’s love for baking began at just 13 when she launched a small business selling her now-famous scones to friends, neighbors, and local cafes. Fast forward to today, and her delicious creations are found in top coffee shops, restaurants, and high-end events across NYC.
Dubbed the “Scone Queen” by her fans, Danielle’s talent goes far beyond just pastries. She’s a classically trained chef with experience managing elite hotel restaurants, finalist on HBO Max’s The Big Brunch, and a viral sensation on social media, where her cooking videos have captivated millions.
Whether you're a foodie, an aspiring chef, or just love a good success story, this is an episode you won’t want to miss! 🍽✨
