YouTube
Emmy created her channel on November 10, 2010. She created her channel when she and her husband moved to Japan, teaching in the country. When they moved to Japan, Emmy said that she felt lonely and isolated. One day, after going to the local grocery store, Emmy bought a candy making kit and decided she wanted to film herself making and tasting the product. This also gave her something to do outside of work and was able to help her learn how to edit videos. Soon, Emmy started to get a following and people would start sending her food to taste from their country.
