Crystal Clarke - Chef of Crystal Bakes - Guest on the Tiberius Show

About this video

In this episode of The Tiberius Show, Tiberius sits down with Chef Crystal Clark, chef, baker, and owner of Crystal Bakes, to talk about what it’s really like to build a career around food, creativity, and community. Crystal shares how she got started in the kitchen at just five years old, why baking became her passion, and how her love of cookies, cooking, and helping others turned into a lifelong career.

Crystal breaks down (in teen-friendly language!) what goes into running a baking business, feeding large groups like Army soldiers, and why being a chef is about way more than just making food taste good. From early-morning prep and giant mixers to recipe testing, timing, teamwork, and math, she explains what life is really like behind the scenes in the kitchen.

We also dive into:
• How Crystal went from wanting to become a doctor to choosing culinary school
• What a normal day looks like when she’s cooking for 50 to 200 soldiers at a time
• Why math, planning, and timing are such a huge part of baking and cooking
• Her famous giant BFC chocolate chip cookies and the hardest dessert to perfect
• Baking disasters, broken mixers, and lessons learned from mistakes
• Math Corners: A real-world restaurant rent problem and how math shows up in the kitchen
• Heart of the Lion: Integrity, leadership, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching
