Crumbs and doilies are so lucky to have people like sally dane Nikkie and all the amazing people that make it so amazing and ofcourse Jemma without u there is no C&D. Sending virtual hugs to those who need it ❤️

[@angelakelley7546]

Dane and Sally are a smashing team for video tutorials. Their baking chops compliment each other, they both really enjoying working together and their attitudes are fantastic. I look forward to Thursdays and my CupcakeJemma and C & D bakers fix.

[@kates7277]

Biscoff = fastest. click. ever. Your aprons and your smiles scream Spring; thank you for exuding such joy xox

[@orlybabe]

Lol frosting at the speed of light. Takes me about 2 hours to do a 4 layer cake. Once I was making a birthday cake, did the crumb coat, was so tired after a whole day of baking and took a nap, overslept, woke up and it was 20 minutes until dinner, so I had no time to finish the cake for after dinner. I whacked the decorations on top and on the side and served it like that, and what do you know - got the best compliments! No too much frosting, the flavor of the cake is not overpowered by frosting, looks so modern and chic. Since that day I always keep frosting to a thin layer!

[@carlie8897]

Sallys expression when Dale was putting on the first biscoff butter cream is how I look throughout these videos, sheer utter baking joy

[@JaviAracena]

Sally’s face of joy throughout the whole video just tops it off 🥺❤️

You guys really make me happy watching this baking Biscoff S'mores cake. I have not baked for a long time. Normally straight the next days I am doing your thang.

Baking will hopefully be back again one day!
