    Nov 7 2021

    Caramel week was anything but sweet for almost everyone – they all dropped the ball at some point, and we were left wondering what is the point of isomalt domes if you can't eat them.

    Two brandy snaps way up and in a circle for biscuit week. Listen to us discuss how Paul pronounces EXPRESSO and how Freya pronounces all manner of things. Lizzy says she needs a vocabulary - no, a dictionary - no, a thesaurus. And nobody makes Black Forest flavored anything.
