HELLO FRIENDS!! a few weeks ago, i wanted to eat a quaso. 🥐✨so i went to a place that makes quaso. 🥐✨and i spent 2 days in a high-altitude pastry bootcamp, making my own custom quaso.🥐✨and i'm pretty happy about it. what do you guys think of our final pastries?? beetlejuice or beetle-JUICY? xoxo, saf
What i love about Safiya is that she goes to these business as playfully as she can, but when it's time to work, she follows every instruction and isn't there just to mess up their work or to bother them. She actually wants to learn and inform people around her; she's respectful, goofy and promotes small businesses the best way possible.This is what makes everything so much more enjoyable and fun
If anyone in the comments EVER complains about you posting fewer videos: girl, please never listen. You make such long, quality videos, it's worth waiting for them with how in-depth and informative and fun they are. For me (and probably for other people), it's like waiting for movies to premiere. Except the movie is a surprise, so it's even cooler. Keep on keeping on.
Its nice to see that Ariel is really shown as a Baker not a content creator. It's especially refreshing to not see her fake an over the top reaction for the vid and just say "yeah, looks good" "mmhm" "not yet"
What's confusing about what they said? They said they're happy the baker is acting like an actual baker and not some overdramatic-for-the-video phony. @@futuramabender2078
Safiya is one of the few TH-camrs left from what i have personally deemed as the golden era of creator content. Please please please never stop unless you’re offered a television show bc you deserve it. Your content is such a comfort zone. ❤
I lover all her videos, her vibe her energy = so contagious I am so grateful for her as she is one of the main reasons I had enough courage to start my own TH-cam channel and I hope I can create a comfort zone for more ppl
@ArianaAubrey-ef9cj that's nice, but reminder that you don't need super professional gear to do what u love I film all my videos with my phone, and I love making my vlogs
She had a job at another company before this. She is now self employed & able to take on projects she enjoys. I would like to reach that point as well.
The Wallace and Gromit reference!!! I can't express how much I love all your little callbacks and references and inside jokes, especially the food network references. Also the enthusiasm and love and respect you have for everything you do and everyone you collaborate with, your videos are a joy 🖤🖤🖤
35:28 "There's so many ways you can mess up and she didn't" yessssss 👏👏👏 that's why i love Saf, she's funny yet respectful. They might just want her to be there just to promote their business, not much expectation but then proceed to teach her the whole thing and have fun with her 😍😍
I appreciate the space between these videos can you imagine all the work that went into this? Travel planning, bakery partnership negotiations, actual travel, staff coordination, scripting, editing…. God. Also did the bakery have to shut for two days for this, did THEY promote it?! Like wild. All for us to have a cute hilarious video of Saf making cwossaints.
Boo i replied to the bot comment. I did a little google sleuthing and it looks like the bakery is closed two days a week (probably for general prep along with letting the staff take a break) so my guess is that Saf came in during off hours for the main bulk of filming. Between teaching a novice and working around filming set up, wouldn't surprise me if this small test batch is all that she made. But for a first timer without a culinary school background, she did really good!
a fake-sushi crube would be soooo fun. you could do a green cream for wasabi, little round candies for roe, and cookie crumbles for those crunchy bits.
I think using the dough scraps for the black stripe was probably the main issue. Because the dough wasn't made black from the start, trying to incorporate the color into already mixed dough meant it ended up getting overly mixed, so it got chewy and stretchy. It didn't quite fluff up the way the rest of the dough did.
I was just thinking that. "Wow, I wonder how much that dough will be over mixed than the rest," and I was right! Well, they were just prototypes anyway, and they still looked great in the end.
Safiya I LOVED THISSSS I WANT TO EAT ONE SO BAD - was dying at your hip thrust rolling hahahah but omg the finished products looked amazing!!! Also thank you for the headspace shoutout!! :') I always forget I read one of those on there, I wanna do more!
When in culinary school for Patisserie and Baking, part of the first courses is to whisk your Whipped Cream by hand. So in a way, yes, it is a kind of hazing but also to make you appreciate how Bakers have been doing it for decades before Mixers, aside from present day Bakeries that don't have the Machines/Machines that break down.
My parents had the hand cranked whipper that we used for most whipped cream. When some was left over (rarely), we sometimes massaged it into unsalted butter . Only for big bowls of whipped cream did we use the electric machine .
I love when Saf features small businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and they're often run by family or passionate individuals! Black Box Bakery looks so cool--thank you for showcasing it!
@@englishatheartunfortunately, once you have that knowledge, there’s really not much you can do with it. you think humans don’t realize this? America/ the first world is many things, but it is not class conscious. the people who run the country depend on this fact, greatly, and they will it to be so. go to protests, donate to charities, whatever. commenting on yt… kinda useless.
as a french person I'm always amazed at how crazy imaginative people from other countries got with croissants. Like in France you'll never see a croissant cube or a croffle or anything like this haha (or maybe in like specialized bakeries you can only find in big cities) but nothing beat the taste of the og croissant for me
Why am I crushing on the croissant baker? LMAO. This video was super fun to watch. Croissaints are so yummy, my favorite ones are from a local donut shop. Now I get to see all the work that goes into them.
Was looking for this comment, I just couldn't imagine being the only one crushing on her 😅 I think it is so attractive when someone is good at what they're doing & teaching others :)
You're right! I was thinking about how much Safiya reminds me of when I was growing up with shows that had people with really fun, friendly personalities. I loved watching Mike Rowe and also Mo Rocca on My Grandmother's Ravioli where he'd visit different cool older people and cook with them.
It’s also wild that she started at the buzzfuzz. Doing random taste tests, couples videos, and the beginnings of LadyLike. And now she’s making croissants on her own channel 🥲
34:45 Here in Austria, where that Syrup is from you guys used, this syrup is typically consumed while skiing as Ski Wasser (skii water) so yeah, definitely a mountainous flavour:)
I feel like these types of videos Safiya makes, is like "first day at a new job" type of way, which I actually think is really useful and healthy for people to see, like starting from knowing nothing, to actually achieving a finished product. I really enjoy these videos, and Safiya's humor is always A+😂
Whenever I watch a Safiya video, I remember that tweet where a guy had a picture of Safiya’s candle melting video with the caption “she’s just doing anything now” I think it’s fantastic that she’s just doing anything she wants 😂❤
agree as a content creator myself sometimes I struggle with doing what I like and what I think others want but it is always when I do something that resonates with me atm that I enjoy the most of the content I create
@@oxanadc I much prefer when creators make content they enjoy because them having fun with the process and topic are what makes it enjoyable for me to watch.
@@XSemperIdem5 yeah I prefer that too, and one can truly feel it through the screen some content creators forget that, but lately is what I've been doing with my content and I find much more joy myself
Omg I loved the owner of the bakery, Arielle. She was so nice and had such good vibes 🥰 You 2 had great chemistry 💞 She's a great teacher. You can see how much she loves she puts into her craft. And most importantly, thank you sharing this bakery. Looks delicious 🤤
Great British Bake Off has taught me so much about pastries and laminating dough that I felt smart for knowing what she was talking about when she was explaining it haha
As a french person, hearing the international capital of the croissant is Denver did what was expected : I'm all kinds of upset now 🤣 Thank you Safiya for your good vibes, you appease my mental health ♥
It's not, don't worry. It's just the rapid gentrification here means an unusually high concentration of trendy small businesses. The current trend is making croissants into anything but a croissants, so we ended up with a lot of trendy little places that make them. It's new and definitely won't last.
The fact that Netflix or Amazon hasn't given Safiya her own show boggles my mind Edit: Guys, please calm down. I'm not saying Safiya should stop making TH-cam content. I'm just saying I can picture her on a streaming service hosting a limited docu-series centered on a specific topic, or maybe she's a judge in a competition show or something. Again, I am not saying she should stop making TH-cam content. Please chill out.
Gosh dang what went into those croissants was some high level expert shit. Mulled wine ?? Elderberry honey ?? Earl grey ganache ?? Makes me want to be a chef
Safiya, i dont think you realise how big a difference you made in my like, i discovered you during the covid and you were the one that got me through it. You and tyler are my comfort youtubers and i ALWAYS watch your videos when i feel ill or sick. the blue lagoon one is my fav but really just hearing ''Hello friends'' at the start of one of your video just puts me in a diff state entierly. i'm french and your videos are still my comfort thing.. I NEVER write comments like these but really I just HAD to write this one just to let you know that i really really admire you. THANKS for making us feel good at our worst and also for never stopping having good ideas and narrations to entertain us (your subscribers). never give up you two are really the best and we forever will support y'all!!! -a random 14 years old
Back in the Stone Age (the 80s), I had to learn to laminate dough and whip egg whites stiff by hand. I also learned to test sugar syrup BY HAND ( no lie, sticking an index finger in 300 degree syrup). Consequently, the sheeter and 80 quart mixer are now my besties.
I had to go gluten free over 10 years ago due to an autoimmune disease. Croissants are the one thing I miss so freaking much. So jelly you got to do this. 🖤
@@yriEth baking any type of dough without gluten is incredibly difficult, the gluten is a fundamental component that gives the dough structure. I think a GF croissant would be a pale imitation of the real thing, if even possible in the first place
@@potatoppppower 100%. I've seen gf crescent shaped rolls, but making an actual croissant would not be possible with gf doughs. We can't even get a gf donut unless it is cake style.
@@kakawaiipotato4744I know my French self ( also a pastry chefs daughter) it killed me to see the croissant trends like the smashed croissant because it latterly ruins the light perfect layers that make a real croissant
Because she already has money and fame which opens doors far easier. Plus, as much as I enjoy cooking and baking, it's definitely not a dream to do it as a career, as I know I'd come to hate it.
You're a natural and that pastry chef gave me straight panic. Like a lot. I'm not a fan of orange oil or spiced desserts but the custom one sounds delicious. Thank you to everyone involved for this glory and for the laughs.
This is what I call content and educational!!! I love seeing behind the scenes how private business or public small business run their restaurants etc! I’m a big culinary fan but can’t cook. 😢 but love to see process videos!
The way I recognized at least 50% of the intro clips about different croissants from various Japanese and Korean foodie vloggers. My youtube interests all combined into one video.
As a person who practically lives in Denver, I had no clue that we are the hub of all things croissant. Learn something new everyday! I'll definitely have to check out Black Box some time.
7:22 it looks like the “mishmish” has some dried apricots on top and/or as filling, which makes sense since “mishmish” “مِشمِش” is the Arabic word for apricot!
agreee I love watching this longer videos, but some shorter form content is also nice I do some vlogs and safiya was one of the inspirations behind me having enough courage to start it I will forever be grateful
I have been watchin Saf for a long time now and all I have to say is - I love this channel more than anything present on YT. If I was asked to choose a single channel I can watch for the rest of my life, I would choose this one because this just feels like a cozy hug after a long day of work. Thank you, Safiya for your channel that brings me so much joy
I think this is one of the best videos yall have ever made. I love how you guys partner so well with various businesses and stay so humble while learning the ins and outs of a new world! SO FUN! Thanks for entertaining me every day
I love croissants (and pastries in general), have lived about 30 minutes outside downtown Denver for my whole 32 years of life, and had no clue it was a hotspot for croissants. Thank you for helping me get to know my own home town better, lol
1) Cwassonts! Delicious. 2) You are a brave soul for attempting them as they can be fickly buggers 3) I live on the opposite side of the country but I want a Black Box pastry. 4) your videos always brighten the day. Please keep them coming!
Love that you got to learn about our beloved demon horse Blucifer. He did in fact fall on and kill his creator. Legend goes his son completed him with his glowing red eyes after his death.
I love that she went here! I used to live right down the street from Edgewater Market and I love that Safiya got to see Denver when the sun was out and a train wasn't rushing her away, lol. I hope she, Tyler, and her team had a good time! Thanks for the video!
Surprise. I don’t mean to be a bitch (I love your videos) but it seems like there’s thousands of people who comment and u only tend to react to Tyler’s comments. Would be nice to see u interact with the people who watch your videos and make them a reality
And imagine doing all that dough laminating with a rolling pin, amazing that small bakeries make any croissants let alone the dozens you can get any day.
Safiya, your videos give me such comfort and reassurance that not everything in this world is awful. You're just out here doing random cool things and sharing it with us in a such enjoyable way. Have rewatched all your videos so many times as they are such a joy! So happy whenever you post and I'm so glad you only do it when you have a good idea and don't just churn out any old thing. That being said - i would watch paint drying if you were also in the video. Keep being you and know that we love you so much! ❤️
I haven't had a croissant in years and someone gave me one at a meeting today...and then you post this. I'm also finding this video after watching a movie that referenced merkins multiple times. 😅 The stars have aligned.
This place clearly was already popular (line out the door) but now they will be crazy popular with millions of safi fans now crqving a sweet flakey crunchy bite!
Is this anyone else's new favorite saf video to rewatch? I know I'm not the only one who rewatches all her videos and I love this one since it came out
One of my favourite videos so far 🥹 I work at a cookie bakery in Canada and its so funny seeing the same storage containers I have to use at work 😅 I love seeing how others in the industry work! Awesome video ❤️
I live for croissants. Most days of the week I get up early to get them fresh at 7 am when the local bakery opens. Nothing beats a fresh croissant to start the day ❤
One of the things I love about saf the most is when she hasn’t posted in a while and to get my fix I start binging her vids again only for her to post a new vid and heal me once more
Safiya I saw you and your man at the airport last month but we were both on those speed walk thingys and going opposite directions. I’ve been watching for years so that was super cool even if it was for a second lol!

FIRST REPLY! I LOVE YOU SAFFFFF
SAFIYA IF YOU SEE THIS COMMENT, CAN YOU REPLY WITH A 🥐
Great job with not running another business into the ground! What's next, pizza's? 😊
Hi, from Colorado!👋🏽
My god the laminating 💕
What i love about Safiya is that she goes to these business as playfully as she can, but when it's time to work, she follows every instruction and isn't there just to mess up their work or to bother them. She actually wants to learn and inform people around her; she's respectful, goofy and promotes small businesses the best way possible.This is what makes everything so much more enjoyable and fun
Right?! She does a great profile of the business in all steps. She has fun while being their biggest cheerleader.
Well said. Yeah i appreciate that she makes it fun for everyone in a way thats respectful of the other people's time and knowledge.
Yes! I love how she approaches each experience with respect for the experts, and her fun & charm
She respects the craft and the business but she always adds her quirky flair to every room she enters to give everyone a good time
Same! She also seems to mostly partner w/ women owned businesses? Super dope:)

I 100% agree. Safiya chooses some of the most interesting topics and delivers these incredible mini-documentaries. Truly one of a kind!
So true.
Quality > Quantity
Preach! It's like a surprise treat whenever she posts!
Real like what she lacks in FREQUENT uploads she makes up for it quality, time of the videos, and entertainment like honestly it’s lowkey comforting

Can confirm, just like macarons, you have to REALLY love it to go through the struggle 😂

I had to go gluten free over 10 years ago due to an autoimmune disease. Croissants are the one thing I miss so freaking much. So jelly you got to do this. 🖤
Been gluten intolerant for over 20 years and I don't think I've ever had a croissant. 🙄🥐
I am vegan and croissants are difficult to find, but since I've moved to Paris I've had the possibility to try a few
and I am so grateful
There's a lot of gf products available nowadays, maybe you could find a gf flour and bake your own?
@@yriEth baking any type of dough without gluten is incredibly difficult, the gluten is a fundamental component that gives the dough structure. I think a GF croissant would be a pale imitation of the real thing, if even possible in the first place
@@potatoppppower 100%. I've seen gf crescent shaped rolls, but making an actual croissant would not be possible with gf doughs. We can't even get a gf donut unless it is cake style.
Im dealing with a lot rn including losing my job, having great videos like this to give my brain a break are much appreciated.
so sorry to hear that. here's a feel-better quasong 🥐
Hope things get better for you! Im going through a tough time too but this video was so fun lol
I'm so sorry! Sending good vibes, and I hope things improve soon!
Hoping things get better ❤
"The croissant capital of the world: Denver"
*french screaming can be heard in the distance*
Especially given how horrendous-looking their basic croissants are ... like what even is this 😭 when they made the dough ??? i was SUFFERING
@@kakawaiipotato4744I know my French self ( also a pastry chefs daughter) it killed me to see the croissant trends like the smashed croissant because it latterly ruins the light perfect layers that make a real croissant
Listen, the basic croissant I can get at any bakery for 80c but the fancy cubes have piqued my interest.
@@EmissaryofWindI was into the idea of trying a cube until I saw the ganache was made with glucose … sacré bleu!
My name is actually the capital of Colorado with it being Denver which I thought was kind of funny😊😅
My french ass will Never get over foreigners prononcing croissant in the best french way possible xx 😂😂 it cracks me up all the time
She always posts right when i need her! ❤
Why is she always just living my dreams in every one of these videos
I think that's what makes this series so good. This is what youtube fame should be used for.
I'm listening to Sky Above - Starburst. It's available on most music apps
:)
Because she already has money and fame which opens doors far easier. Plus, as much as I enjoy cooking and baking, it's definitely not a dream to do it as a career, as I know I'd come to hate it.
You're a natural and that pastry chef gave me straight panic. Like a lot.
I'm not a fan of orange oil or spiced desserts but the custom one sounds delicious. Thank you to everyone involved for this glory and for the laughs.
This is what I call content and educational!!!
I love seeing behind the scenes how private business or public small business run their restaurants etc!
I’m a big culinary fan but can’t cook. 😢 but love to see process videos!
the chef seemed SO nice! she even made jokes with you two hehe loved the video
I love that this video promotes thinking outside the cube. I have successfully laminated a starter-based dough: butter makes everything better!
The way I recognized at least 50% of the intro clips about different croissants from various Japanese and Korean foodie vloggers. My youtube interests all combined into one video.
As a person who practically lives in Denver, I had no clue that we are the hub of all things croissant. Learn something new everyday! I'll definitely have to check out Black Box some time.
Saf is literally the only creator that can get me to watch and care about ANYTHING
Chef was so shook when Saf asked if they needed salt 🥺 proud chef 🥹
7:22 it looks like the “mishmish” has some dried apricots on top and/or as filling, which makes sense since “mishmish” “مِشمِش” is the Arabic word for apricot!
That’s what I was about to comment! We also say mish mish for apricot in the Assyrian language
@@madday9589omg makes sense since they’re both Semitic languages
that's so interestingg! i thought she meant kishmish lol, which is hindi/urdu for raisins
It’s the same in Hebrew! Makes sense because all of the above mentioned languages are Semitic languages
@@tinybeomgyu3467 interesting we also say kishmish for raisins
I’ve missed Saf & Tyler.
WE NEED VLOGS PLEEEEEEAASE!!!!! 🙏
agreee
I love watching this longer videos, but some shorter form content is also nice
I do some vlogs and safiya was one of the inspirations behind me having enough courage to start it
I will forever be grateful
I'd recommend Sky Above - Starburst on most music platforms :)
I have been watchin Saf for a long time now and all I have to say is - I love this channel more than anything present on YT. If I was asked to choose a single channel I can watch for the rest of my life, I would choose this one because this just feels like a cozy hug after a long day of work. Thank you, Safiya for your channel that brings me so much joy
I think this is one of the best videos yall have ever made. I love how you guys partner so well with various businesses and stay so humble while learning the ins and outs of a new world! SO FUN! Thanks for entertaining me every day
I love croissants (and pastries in general), have lived about 30 minutes outside downtown Denver for my whole 32 years of life, and had no clue it was a hotspot for croissants. Thank you for helping me get to know my own home town better, lol
It's a recent development thanks to all of the trendy spots that pop up with all of the gentrification 🙃 That place used to just be a King Soopers
i'm literally eating croissants RIGHT NOW
like i put one down to click on this video
how did you knowwwwww
my croissants are gone :(
1) Cwassonts! Delicious.
2) You are a brave soul for attempting them as they can be fickly buggers
3) I live on the opposite side of the country but I want a Black Box pastry.
4) your videos always brighten the day. Please keep them coming!
I live 10 minutes from this bakery! Everything they make is heavenly. Love that you are giving them a spotlight!
Good for you ! I wish to try these pastries so much, but live thousands miles away
Ooh so glad you had fun here in Colorful Colorado! And thanks for opening my eyes to a new bakery, will have to try Black Box ASAP!
Seeing clips of Claire Saffitz in a Safiya Nygaard video brings me immense joy
Claire is goated
SAME
Yes!! I came here for this comment, I recognized those hands 🙌🏼
A collab would be amazing
Always happy to see Claire! Although for a video so focused on croissants and pastry, there was a distinct lack of Bruno Albouze 😂
Love that you got to learn about our beloved demon horse Blucifer. He did in fact fall on and kill his creator. Legend goes his son completed him with his glowing red eyes after his death.
I love that she went here! I used to live right down the street from Edgewater Market and I love that Safiya got to see Denver when the sun was out and a train wasn't rushing her away, lol. I hope she, Tyler, and her team had a good time! Thanks for the video!
Denver has like 250 sunny days per year, so it was likely lol
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT! Safiya & Tyler are a perfect team! Respect!
that was such a "purple place game" experience lol, I LOVE IT!
unleash the power of the cube 🥐
Surprise. I don’t mean to be a bitch (I love your videos) but it seems like there’s thousands of people who comment and u only tend to react to Tyler’s comments. Would be nice to see u interact with the people who watch your videos and make them a reality
Egg mountain
Safiya and Tyler living everyone’s dream is trying to do new things every other week and making A+ content out of it is just top tier entertainment 💯
Eh, them travelling on the train is the only dream of mine they've done. And getting to be with the person they love. 💔
I can't get over how labor intensive this is!
And imagine doing all that dough laminating with a rolling pin, amazing that small bakeries make any croissants let alone the dozens you can get any day.
Not to over share but my family is dealing with a lot of loss right now and I’m so glad to have a new video from one of my favorite comfort TH-camrs 💖
I love your bad science series! Maybe you should do every LIQUID soap from a place that has a lot of liquid soaps
Safiya, your videos give me such comfort and reassurance that not everything in this world is awful. You're just out here doing random cool things and sharing it with us in a such enjoyable way. Have rewatched all your videos so many times as they are such a joy! So happy whenever you post and I'm so glad you only do it when you have a good idea and don't just churn out any old thing. That being said - i would watch paint drying if you were also in the video. Keep being you and know that we love you so much! ❤️
she is such a comfort
im literally in love with arielles voice
honestly... same 😮💨
Wait, I thought it was just me
I haven't had a croissant in years and someone gave me one at a meeting today...and then you post this. I'm also finding this video after watching a movie that referenced merkins multiple times. 😅 The stars have aligned.
This place clearly was already popular (line out the door) but now they will be crazy popular with millions of safi fans now crqving a sweet flakey crunchy bite!
Is this anyone else's new favorite saf video to rewatch? I know I'm not the only one who rewatches all her videos and I love this one since it came out
welcome back queen and honestly those croissants looks ✨divine✨
Ariel may be the chilliest person I've ever seen on this planet 😂
Arielle* 😛
Wow what perfect timing! I was just looking for something to watch when your notification popped up 😁
loved arielle's vibe, i could listen to her all day!
The Beetlejuice croissant is giving sushi with caviar on it. Super cute!
34:25 Tyler's reaction was so cute, just in awe of the beetle-JUICY! Loved this video. As always, it's a great day when our Queen posts!!!
I was NOT expecting a reference to Ylvis's "Stonehenge" in this video. I thought I was the only one that remembered them in 2024
arielle was so chill and funny, she gelled really well with your humor
I love watching "food" being "fooded" especially the process so these videos feed my souuullll
Favorite quote from this ep is “no word yet on what that is exactly”
One of my favourite videos so far 🥹 I work at a cookie bakery in Canada and its so funny seeing the same storage containers I have to use at work 😅 I love seeing how others in the industry work! Awesome video ❤️
Finally a new video! Sending love from Daejeon, South Korea❤
Finally uploaded…….i have rewatched almost all her old videos…would def watch all over again ❤❤❤❤
Dutchie here: we have crompouce, which is a croissant x tompouce. A tompouce is a dutch delicacy, look it up!!
I live for croissants. Most days of the week I get up early to get them fresh at 7 am when the local bakery opens. Nothing beats a fresh croissant to start the day ❤
I’ve been in the middle of a massive depressive episode for about a month now and life has been rough. Saf’s timing is IMPECCABLE 👌🏻💜
The fact that you can post like once a month at most and still be one of the most beloved youtubers ❤
I get hot hands a lot when I make cookies that require being rolled. Rinsing/washing your hands in really cold water seems to help.
The most comfy comfort content 🥐
One of the things I love about saf the most is when she hasn’t posted in a while and to get my fix I start binging her vids again only for her to post a new vid and heal me once more
Obsessed with how passionately Saf says croissant every time 🥐
For what it’s worth, Ariel (please correct me if that’s the wrong spelling) has by far the best speaking voice I’ve ever listened to.
Arielle. 🙂
its a good voice❤
Roll charisma! *Nat 1.* I burst into the croissant shoppe and yell "GIMME A CRESCENT!"
Literally in Denver for the first time in my life this week. What excellent timing.
Safiya I saw you and your man at the airport last month but we were both on those speed walk thingys and going opposite directions. I’ve been watching for years so that was super cool even if it was for a second lol!
The croissant cubes' marbling is stunning 😍
I’ve been waiting for her next video; they’re always so good! I never knew croissant-making was so involved.
