"To me, what I think makes them, let's just say, different or special or unique, it's sort of like the collection of a lot of little things... you're going to get a fresh doughnut."
"I know it sounds like super cheesy, but I really believe it, it’s the heart that goes into it."
"This is a lemon, cream cheese frosting and it has pistachios and rose petals, inspired by my friend Yasmin."
"In high school, I discovered not just loving how to create things and making, but it was sort of like, how could I put all these things together?"
