She's really good at what she does because she can explain the doughnut-making process in such clear tactile detail.

HOLY SMOKES. Probably the best donut you’ll ever taste. She makes them FRESH all day in small batches. And uses great ingredients. No artificial colors. I wonder if they’re winning any awards? Seems like a very unique model for donut making. More culinary.

the passion and love for what she does just resonates, surely top-tier doughnuts!! freshly handmade? the flavors?? as someone who learned how to bake pastries and bread, i love how she described the process of kneading, that getting your own hand involved to make these bread and the connection and heart you'll have with the food. All of us in our class before really was just learning how to bake to pass the assessment and receive our certificates by the end of the year, but we ended up enjoying it, making the whole journey to it much more bearable and enjoyable, it was such a big accomplishment we got before we moved to senior high. Oh the joy in cooking and baking
