Fadi Jaber

Since growing up on an American compound in Saudi Arabia, Fadi Jaber developed a sweet tooth for American desserts. He later moved to New York City where he enjoyed gourmet cupcakes from shops such as Magnolia Bakery and Crumbs. Fadi opened his first American-inspired cupcake shop in Jordan, his home country, and has since expanded to other locations throughout the Middle East.

Jessica Harris speaks with Fadi about how he’s exposing American sweets to the Middle East, from scratch.
