this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb live from studio 1a, rockefeller plaza. good morning, everyone. archie, the name of the royal baby. >> just archie, not short for archibald. >> could be. let's get right to our breaking news and for the second time in less than a week north korea conducted new missile launches, the breaking news happening just overnight today. keir simmons has the very latest on this morning. >> reporter: south korea's defense ministry this morning now believes two rounds of suspected short range missiles were fired, one at around 3:29 a.m. eastern the second 20 minutes later each traveling 260 miles and 170 miles respectively. this morning south korea and u.s. working on more details and analyzing what it means.

in just one weeks fears of tnorh korean missile launches. young kim jong-un is turning away from diplomacy. two suspected short range missiles were launched north of the capital pyongyang towards the east according to south korea. five days ago north korea'ssupe drill. newscaster said it was nothing more than military training. but south korea say they are very concerned. summit earlier this year between president trump and kim jong-un failing to reach agreement over the north's nuclear arsenal. >> sometimes you have to walk. >> reporter: even as recently as sunday. secretary of state mike pompeo was upbeat. >> we still have every intention of negotiating a good resolution with north korea to denuclearize. we knew it would be a long path. >> reporter: this morning north

korea testing that optimism, vowing not to buckle under international sanctions even if its people has to survive only on water and air. >> we all know how the summit talks broke down between north korea and the u.s. what kind of pressure does this put on u.s. negotiators? >> reporter: north korea is trying to put pressure on the u.s. and president trump. this is close to a test an intercontinental ballistic missile back in 2017. it doesn't violate that pledge that kim jong-un has made not to test a long range missile. it's a provocation one that will worry america's allies in the region like japan and south korea and time to coincide a visit by special representative for north korea. some analysts suggesting perhaps the use of short range missiles indicates kim jong-un hasn't given up on negotiations, at least for now. >> the breaking news overseas this morning. keir simmons, thank you.

>> we're following several major developments in the showdown over the mueller report. after voting to hold attorney general william barr in contempt of congress, a key house democrat is now saying the country is in a constitutional crisis. new subpoenas are being issued including one for the president's own son. as for the president himself he weighed in at a late night rally in florida. we have in depth team coverage this morning and we start with kristen welker at the white house. good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, good morning to you. this is a remarkable development. it's the first congressional subpoena that we know of for one of president trump's children. the move is pitting a republican committee chair against the president's eldest son donald trump jr. and it comes as tension between the president and congress are heating up. this morning donald trump jr. is under fire after the republican led senate intelligence committee issued a subpoena to the president's oldest son demanding he return to congress to answer questions about his

previous claims he had limited knowledge of a plan to build a trump tower in moscow during the 2016 campaign then candidate trump insisted he had no dealings in russia. donald trump jr. testified in 2017 he was only peripherally aware of the plans in moscow. but michael cohen said he briefed trump jr. on the project about ten times. the president not men shopping his son last night while rallying supporters in battleground florida. instead blasting congressional democrats. >> it was going to be like we want the mueller report. now they say murl? -- mueller report? no we want to start all over again. >> as democrats and the white house are involved in an escalating standoff with the house judiciary chairman delivering this blunt assessment. >> we're now in a constitutional

crisis. >> reporter: the judiciary committee voting to hold attorney general william barr in contempt of congress for refusing to turn over the full mueller report. >> we are in danger. we need to respond. >> reporter: some democrats invoke impeachment. >> how can we impeach without getting the documents? >> reporter: but the white house is blocking the release of the full mueller report by asserting executive privilege with republicans arguing democrats are playing politics. >> let's stop this political theater. week after week after week we're just having this theater. >> reporter: as for donald trump jr. a source close to him tells nbc news he continues to cooperate by producing documents and is willing to answer written questions but quote no lawyer would allow their client to participate in a pr stunt. on the attorney general if the

full house votes to find him in contempt it would largely be bring in nbc's justice correspondent pete williams. pete, let's pick it up where kristen left off. so the next step for house democrats would be to have a full house vote on this contempt motion against the attorney general, but then what? >> reporter: he'll go right on being attorney general. the house will sue him, ask a judge to order him to turn over what he wants and not so easy. congress and the public already have nearly all the mueller report. some redacted dealing with open investigations and for nearly a century the justice department refused to hand that kind of material over. some of it was blacked out because it's grand jury material. the justice department says it's against the law to reveal that, that the government couldn't reveal it even if it wanted to so the committee will probably end up with some of what it wants, though not everything. and this is going to take months, possibly years. the house-bound attorney general

eric holder in contempt in 2012 and just last night the house told a federal judge it had finally settled that with the justice department. >> so, pete, the house judiciary committee, they make the vote yesterday. full house does finally hold him in contempt. as kristen said a few moments ago, largely symbolic? >> reporter: yes, absolutely. largely symbolic because he'll still be attorney general. now, don jr. is in a different category. he's a private citizen. if he refuses to testify and can't make the subpoena go away, he could be held in criminal contempt but may not be very likely because it would take a vote of the full republican-controlled senate. by the way, the administration can't assert executive privilege over anything that happened in the campaign. that's a protection that applies to presidents, not to candidates for president. >> all right. pete, thank you very much. appreciate it. now to the deadly school shooting near denver, colorado. new details emerging this morning about the remarkable acts of heroism that saved lives, and the two student suspects under arrest. we have two reports for you and

we start with nbc's ron mott. ron, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, krig. investigators are still on the hunt for aee you the . when asked if he had any questions about a protective order against him. >> no. >> reporter: as he potentially faces a slew of criminal charges, including murder. >> devon definitely was one of the main people there causing problems. >> reporter: 16-year-old kevin cole is a former s.t.e.m. student and good friend of 18-year-old kendrick kcastillo.

he and his older brother left the school because of erickson. >> i was a friend found out what was happening and who it was, we weren't surprised who it was. you could kind of see that coming from a mile away. >> reporter: law enforcement response to the shooting, swift and massive. authorities arriving in under two minutes. the school's private security guard catching one suspect in a hallway, officials say. police finding the second alone in an empty classroom after students had fled. no shots were fired between suspects and police. >> attention, please. lockdown. >> they found him. >> reporter: everyone knew exactly what to do and they all went into action within five minutes. where they were able to find the second suspect and arrest that person. >> reporter: authorities offered few clues about the relationship between erickson and the under-aged suspect indicated as a female by the court but identifies as male according to his attorney. >> i don't know how long they have known each other, but they were friends enough to carpool. >> reporter: last night an

emotional vigil for a wounded community. some grieving students expressing anger, frustration and sadness but also honoring the bravery of kendrick castillo. >> we want to say we love you, kendrick. we will remember you forever. and always. >> reporter: according to nbc denver affiliate kusa, siting multiple law enforcement sources, investigators are looking into the possibility that one of the injured students was actually shot by the school's private security guard. they'll have to conduct some tests to confirm that. craig, savannah? >> ron mott in highlands ranch, ron, thank you. we want to talk about the young heroes who rushed one of the shooters and prevented an even larger tragedy. this morning we're hearing from the parents of the 18-year-old who sacrificed his life to save his classmates. nbc gadi schwartz talked with them. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. four heroes acting so quickly and saving so many lives. we spoke with the father of kendrick castillo, the student

who paid the ultimate sacrifice by his heroism. his father says his son was a natural protector. kendrick's friends say he was the best of us. john castillo says he's not surprised his only son, 18-year-old kendrick gave up his life to protect others. >> i was approached by a girl last night. she told me, mr. castillo, your son saved my life. she said, he jumped and ran and did what he had to do. >> reporter: kendrick didn't act alone. his friend brendan says he and two other students including joshua jones who suffered two gunshot wounds followed kendrick's lead giving others the chance to escape. >> in my brain, absolute fear. but my -- kendrick went up, i went up and went to it. >> he knew that time was a factor. he knew if he didn't do something right then there wouldn't be an opportunity. >> reporter: this girl was in that classroom. >> saw that gun and i think they just went for it thinking that that's what he had to do. >> reporter: over the last

decade of school shootings and lockdowns we've taught a generation how to run, hide, create barricades. no one asking teens to put themselves in harm's way, more and more those are saying, we've had enough. >> why in the world would i let this coward get what he wants? why? i'm not a victim. i refuse to be a victim. kendrick refused to be a victim. >> reporter: in north carolina last week another act of heroism, 21-year-old riley howell killed while taking down a gunman who shot five other students. one of whom also died. >> and it didn't matter what happened to him as long as others got out in one piece. >> reporter: for the parents of survivors and heroes overwhelming emotions. >> thank god for the heroes in her classroom. this would have been -- awful. a whole lot worse. >> what i want from you guys, to do your best editing, do your best work and show the world who my son was and what we lost.

that's all i care about. >> gadi, those parents are brave for just talking about this, and in the midst of their terrible grief. i know you've been in the community a lot this last few hours. what are people saying? >> reporter: yeah. savannah, such a strategy. one way that people are working through their grief out here, in particular, students who go to this school, those saying those who saved their lives. they want to remember the little things. he was so helpful when it came to tutors others in class. the fact that he was the first person to give someone a jump start in the parking lot. his love of robotics. they say they want his name to be the one remembered here. they don't want to be focussing on the shooters or their motivation and they set up a memorial in kendrick's honor. back to you guys. >> gadi, thank you very much. police have removed more than 1,000 guns from a home in an upscale los angeles neighborhood. officers there say they found several rooms cluttered with

rifles, pistols and ammunition. they stacked those weapons up in the driveway so they could be hauled away and cataloged. the l.a.p.d. says local and federal officers discovered the home. at least one suspect was arrested. officials say there is no further threat to the neighborhood. much more to get to this morning including, as mentioned, the royal baby. the world's joy. first images of little archie harrison. his father, prince harry, already getting back to work with a quick trip to the netherlands. nbc's kelly cobiella is in position. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. we're expecting prince harry to ride a bike down this path behind us any moment now and you might be wondering why he would leave his 3-day-old baby son and wife for a ride through the park? actually, he's here for the launch of the invictus games. those international games held here next year. the event for wounded veterans that he created.

>> congratulations! >> reporter: prince harry getting back to work this morning, but only for one day. just 24 hours after he and meghan introduced the world to their son. >> i have the two best guys in the world. so i'm really happy. >> reporter: the newborn's name, a complete surprise. archie, harrison mountbatten windsor. >> he has the sweetest temperament. he's really calm and -- >> reporter: archie's name announcing and the couple's instagram along with the little royal meeting a smiling queen. with meghan's mother doria and harry's grandfather, prince philip looking on. archie means bold and brave and harrison, son of harry. mountbatten from prince philip's family and windsor from the queen. last name for a royal with no title. archie is seventh in line to the throne but not a prince, earl or lord. the strongest sign yet meghan and harry want to raise their

son their own way. >> we're just so thrilled to have our little bundle of joy and spending precious time. precious time with him as he starts to group. >> reporter: unlike diana with prince charles and kate with prince william, this time the proud father was the one cradling his son for the cameras. "harper's bazaar" roorgt source close to the couple said meghan gave birth at portland hospital in london and the photo shoot was a special moment one they won't forget. they are so proud but probably quite relieved to get the photos out of the way. they are rather tired. the source telling bazaar meghan's mother has been with the couple at windsor since mid-april and will stay through the weekend to celebrate meghan and harry's first mother's day as parents. prince harry was greeted here this morning with lots of shouts and congratulations and we suspect a baby gift two. we'll spend a couple of hours

here this afternoon before heading back to his family in windsor. for those of you wondering about that name a..y harbarchie harri there's no special meaning. the parents just like the name. >> they are like us. mountbatten is my favorite. >> sounds very royal and windsor. >> speaking of royal, mr. roker is standing by. how are you sir? >> prince albert says hello. we got snow up in the rockies. denver may pick up one to two inches. 17 million people at risk. the most severe situation we got from san antonio all the way into parts of arkansas and 20 million people at risk from louisville down to houston, new orleans for damaging winds, isolated hail and can't rule out a tornado or two. slow moving system. eventually going to become stationary back through texas where they will look at a lot of rain. but then we look into friday this front will stall, more rain in those flood prone areas and

with the united states. south korea's military says the north test fired a pair of short-range missiles overnight. the provocative move came hours after north korea's claim of firing saturday's short-range missile were routine defensive drills. talks on ending the program stalled since the famed summit between president trump and north korea's leader kim jong-un. and responding to sex abuse. requiring priests and nuns to report clergy abuse and cover-ups to their subpoenas and holds bishops accountable for any failure to do so. that papal decree time limits the local church's investigations as well as the vatican's response to them. this applies to abuse of power in sexual relations with adults. a trade dispute with mexico could mean skyrocketing prices for some of your favorite meals. the price of fresh tomatoes is

expected to soar at least 40% in the next few months. the cost passed along on everything from salads to pizza. trade negotiations broke down. more than half the tomatoes sold in the united states come from mexico. now to one of facebook's original founders taking direct aim at his college roommate, mark zuckerberg. >> this is really extraordinary. in a new interview with nbc news, and a stunning op-ed in this morning's "new york times," he is calling on the u.s. government to break up facebook and put it check on its domination in the marketplace. nbc's senior national correspondent has the interview. kate, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. there are a lot of critics of facebook but this time is the first time one of the founders of the company is calling for it to be broken apart. chris hughes sat down with me for an interview airing tonight on "nbc nightly news." hughes was mark zuckerberg's roommate at harvard when they

invented facebook and now saying zuckerberg's influence in the world is "staggering" and the government must hold facebook and zuckerberg accountable. >> do you think facebook is dangerous? >> i do. >> reporter: facebook founder chris hughes slamming the company he helped build. >> the reason i'm speaking out is because i think facebook has become too big, too powerful. >> reporter: as depicted in the movie "the social network" hughes was a student when he met mark zuckerberg as a freshman and shared a dorm room with pimm. zuckerberg user four on facebook. hughes number five. he helped develop the now famous news feed on facebook made half a billion dollars, left facebook in 2007 and sold his shares five years later. this morning in a scathing op-ed in the "new york times," hughes says facebook worth half a trillion dollars is a monopoly that must be stopped. facebook separated into multiple

companies, hughes writes, calls on the federal trade commission to undo facebook instagram and whatsapp and ban them from buying other companies for several years. hughes wants a government agency empowered by congress to regulate facebook and other tech companies and protect user privacy. some of the strongest language in the op-ed he saved for zuckerberg. mark's power is unprecedented and un-american, he writes, questioning his unilateral control over speech. there is no precedent for his ain't ability to monitor, sensor even the conversations of 2 billion people. >> he is extremely powerful, because he has no boss. there's no regulatory agency from the federal government. >> reporter: hughes worries zuckerberg surrounded himself with a team that reinforces his beliefs instead of challenging them. on capitol hill last year, zuckerberg promised changes. last month he wrote about building a privacy focused megging and social networking

platform. >> it will take some time to work through all changes we need to make across the company, but i'm committed to getting this right. this includes the basic responsibility of protecting people's information. >> reporter: but hughes says it's like day have a schoo. every time facebook messes up we repeat and exhausting pattern, first outrage, then disappointment, and finally resignation. the federal trade commission is investigating facebook right now. hughes says an expected fine from the ftc of $5 billi facebook is not enough. we reached out for a spokesperson from facebook and haven't heard back yet. >> so shocking. somebody literally in the room, was inside. vented, they were college roommates. worked there for years. they were friends i imagine's does he think they're going to still be friends after all this? >> i asked that. friendly for years and writes in the op-ed and told us the last they saw each other was two years ago in 2017, but when i said are you still going to be friends now?

he said, i don't know. i'm not sure we can weather this. >> wow. really a stunner. i know you have a lot more of the interview tonight on "nightly." we'll be watching. >> fascinating. thank you, kate. over to al roker for the weather. >> the old, unfriend me. anyway, the area we're watching today. persistent tropical moisture feed coming up from the gulf. we'll see rounds and rounds of rain from san antonio, houston on into new orleans and central louisiana. keeps coming. by sunday talking about some areas up to a foot of rain nap . that is going to mean flooding. talking snow in the rockies. denver may pick up an inch today and some areas up to a foot. record highs from medford, eugene, portland and seattle. unseasonably warm right i

we will have comfortable temperatures. here's the reason why. we start out with mist and drizzle. once this clears, low 60s in san francisco, upper 60s in oakland. morgan hill today reaching 75 and 74 today in napa. over the next several days, we do have nice weather. but i'll be watching out for a slight chance of rain early tomorrow morning. other than that, sunshine and warming temperatures for the weekend. s your latest weather. savannah? >> al, thank you so much. coming up, much more on royal baby archie's big debut inside his first meeting with the queen, and why doesn't he have a royal title? a royal-sounding name but not a title. also this morning. a kennedy family feud. a controversy where vaccines has one of america's most famous families picking sides. then, a sneak peek at a new song from ed sheeran and justin bieber. yes, they are collaborating. first, though, howard stern getting very personal about

conversation but i'm playing to the audience, he says. they want to hear outrages in and that's my arrogance thinking that robin williams can't entertain my audience. how stupid am i? today stern says he takes a less aggressive dinner party approach with his guests. >> who broke it up? >> john. john did. >> reporter: the result, his studio is now a must-stop destination for a steady stream of a-list stars sometimes spending an hour or more with stern. >> i was scared. you know? i was scared. one thing that it does is it just stops everything in your life when you get a diagnose with cancer. >> reporter: while he's been happily married to his wife model and animal activist beth stern more than ten years, howard also talks about his first marriage, and life as a young father obsessed with radio ratings. he says, i thought i was, like, ward cleaver living the "leave it to beaver" life.

i didn't realize everything was crumbling around me, adding, i didn't even know what it meant to be a grown man with a family. i didn't know anything. i was a child. >> i really think this is the cap of my career. >> reporter: with the sirius radio contract set to expire next year, stern also is thinking about this future. careful not to say anything definitively and tells the magazine, i don't even know i have it 100% right yet. and maybe there's more to explore. >> fascinating. something else apparently he's talking about. his relationship with president trump as well. what's he saying about that? >> howard and donald trump. done this interesting dance when he talks about donald trump. trump has been on howard's show more than 40 times over the years. he's called him one of his greatest guests but says they haven't had interaction at all after stern declined a request to speak at the republican national convention back in 2016. i think for people like us, guys who grew up on howard, also people who interview people for a living, boy, do you envy what howard stern gets to do. because when you cross that

threshold and walk into his studio you know everything's on the table. ask you anything about your life. >> an hour, willing to spend the time. >> always the best in the business for my money. >> guests go in there, they know. unspoken agreement everything's on the table and he can and will ask you anything. >> he does. >> usually the thing you really didn't want to talk about. a haven't good aptitude for that. don't go away willie. a cool story you'll tell, very personal. an interview with willie's father, bill geist who we adore. a special place, hilarious and shaped who he is in his whole career, but first, these messages. ♪ limu emu & doug

graduating college this spring but then what? women make 80 cents for every dollar a man makes in the united states, and for women of color that wage gap is even bigger. so how do you make sure you're earning what you're worth as you start your career? "morning joe's" mika brzezinski and one of her producers daniella bravo here to help us. they've writ an new book together called "earn it." mika and daniella, good morning.

mika, i love where you write a book, telling us just what to do. why did you want to focus on 20-somethings? >> data say they start in their 20s, young women and never catch up. conflicting messages how they're supposed to be starting out. scrappy, working really hard, eager, ambitious but also get the right pay. very hard to nail. >> it tricky especially starting out. what's your leverage? can't go in, pound the table and say i d.emand this and that. daniella's story was so empowering, why i teamed up with her. we were talking. talked two hours. she's a dreamer. she grew up in lima, ohio, with four siblings not a lot of money at all and not a lot of security about what her status would lead her and she had goals and wanted to be here in america and make

it. she started applying for jobs all over new york city. she was working full time, and lied on all the resumes says she lived in new york city. worried where she lived would deter them from hiring her. >> i love this story. daniella, bring you in. you told employers i'm local. i can make it. you weren't. got a call back what did you do? >> p. diddy's label environment, saw i was local, can you come in tomorrow. of course i can. didn't know how to get there. couldn't get on a plane or drive so i went to the greyhound bus website got on an 18-hour bus through the night. nine stops. cleaned up in port authority. >> that's right there. that's enough right there. >> right there shows you have to have -- all of those qualities you need, you showed right then and there. that moxie, determination, ingenuity, resourcefulness. what's your advice to women starting out as you are? you've written a book now with

mika brzezinski. pretty good stuff for your resume, but what advice do you have? >> say "yes" to opportunities and don't think about having the perfect job ow how it's all going to end right away. struggling getting your foot in the door, take it one step at a time. work hard and try to find a way to find a "yes" to all the "nos "you're getting. >> yes to that job. no pay. four our jobs that finally got her to nbc. started all over again and how we ended up together deciding to write this book. >> i was going to say. mika, you have a good eye for talent and gave all the book money to daniella, just starting out, wonderful, and makes sense. completely you. we're in this setting, i'm like, we're here. i'm supposed to be the interviewer. >> ready for our jobs. >> you both have great tips, but for nailing a job interview, daniella, what are tips you have? >> when it comes to dressing the part, you want to do research. is it a job you're applying to, sort of more creative, more buttoned up and corporate? really do your research and keep

it simple. don't overdo it. >> project confidence is a tricky one. you don't want to project arrogance or entitlement but confidence is good? >> confidence is all about preparing. for every two minutes preparing one minute of confidence. prepare, prepare, prepare, barbara corcoran says that. dealing with the interviewer thinking thousand he want you to answer the question and think about the energy and cues giving you in the room. trying to make conversation or look like hair inthey're in a r. >> check your body language, connect and resonate all important. >> really important. >> yeah. body language, great, firm handshake, eye contact and posture entire time. >> we have questions viewers sent in. >> love that. >> the first one for mika and daniella. >> i'm emma from orlando and want to know how soon after an interview should you follow-up

and how persistent should you be? >> ladies. >> within the first 24 hours. a handwritten note. easier to send an email. using that professional sort of sense of writing a note and sending it will really make your resume. >> be prompt. maybe wait a day. do it the next day. people are so busy. write back right away you miss the opportunity to remind them. >> like dating. two-day rule back in our day? >> i know. >> one more caller, viewer, who called in. less listen. >> i'm from boise, idaho and want to know the appropriate time to ask about benefits and vacation time. >> that's a tricky wicket. mika, i know what you'll say. we're on the same page. >> starting out don't ask about vacation time during the interview. benefits have that conversation with hr as you get farther along. and don't sign any contracts without going over it. >> yes. also you're going to build your career. going to build your value, and there is going to be a point

where you're in a situation where they're coming to hire you. that's when you ask ask those questions with confidence, maybe even in the first conversation, because they're looking to get you. in the beginning, you're pitching yourself. >> before i let you go, mika, this issue of confidence but not entitlement. you meet young people on your show every single day of the week. as i said before obviously you have an eye for talent and found a gem here in daniella. how do you use that issue? what advice would you give to young people? >> all about timing. if you read the book you'll really get a sense of all the different things you need to be trying to do at the same time. and you can. you will then find your way. the book really walks you through that, because that confidence is important. that sense of, when you give, you're given an assignment. that eye contact, i got it. you want to be able to say those words all the time. i got it. unless you don't. then ask. you've got to develop the confidence developing your voice in the workplace and then also knowing your moment to pounce,

which daniella did. her timing was per forget. >> it was. paid off in a big way. daniella, pleasure to meet you. look forward to you being my boss one day. the book's called "earn it." it would make a good graduation gift. we're in that season. over to craig. >> a proud hubby in the studio as women. >> joe scarborough, hair spray and my purse. >> what he does. whipping up a special treat perfect for mother's day with the mom and the daughter behind one of detroit's most popular bakeries. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

enjoying the sweet smell of success. a community centerpiece it's strengthened their bond. before the sun rises this mother/daughter duo working for hours already. >> i get here around 3:00 in the morning. start baking and listen to good music before my mother gets here. mother comes in at 7:30, ices the cupcakes and the cakes. slices them. gets everything out. we fuss for an hour and a half before we open. then we open the door and everything is cheery. >> i try to keep you on your toes. >> that she does. >> reporter: april anderson never imagined she'd be working side-by-side with her mother shirley madison. >> i love it. i really love it. i love it, but i was a little, a little nervous at first, because my mother, grow's up my mother was very xrict astrict and boss. i wanted to make sure she knew

it was changing. >> i wanted to make sure, i'm not shirley. i'm her mother, still. >> know, she's an employee. i'm the boss. >> reporter: the family love for baking runs deep. >> baking since i was about 13, 14. >> my love of baking came from growing up watching my mother and grandmother baking. being in the kitchen with them. >> reporter: anderson was a young mother at 17. amp graduating from college and 17 years in accounting she wanted a change. >> it was good. i enjoyed it, but i realized i really wanted to be able to engage with people more. >> reporter: so anderson went to culinary school and found her calling when her pop-up stores were a hit. >> everything, people was buying it. you need to open up over here. >> reporter: six years ago took that advice to heart after winning a grant, anderson quit her job and opened good takes and bakes. >> came and told me she wanted to open a bakery. i knew she would get a bakery

open because she's that kind of a person. >> reporter: today, business couldn't be sweeter. >> met oprah winfrey in 2014 and 2015 we baked for bill clinton. like a stamp of approval from detroiters to come visit us. >> april, shirley, so good to have you here in the studio. >> thank you. >> how many kids? >> ten. >> ten kids. >> yes. >> how many grandkids? >> 23. >> how many great-grandkids? >> 7. >> my goodness. >> amazing! >> goodness. what are we going to make this morning? >> making lemon velvet cake. >> like a take on a red velvet cake, the tradition? >> it is. what make it is a lemon velvet is the buttermilk and makes it a little more tangy. >> i see another little, a little -- are these, this candy? >> yes. lemon candy we like to pop on there at the end. >> okay. we'll get started. >> first right here we have our all-purpose flour and cake flour and then add in our salt, baking
