This week on The Crumb, we’re talking shop with Zoë François, a fantastic cookbook author and the baking teacher for the digital age. Zoë takes us inside her Minneapolis, Minnesota, kitchen, which she designed herself, and gives us a little peak at her ninth forthcoming cookbook all on cake. Plus, Zoë offers insight into what gets her baking and dancing, and why she loves to use a flamethrower on meringue. And because it’s Halloween season, Kyle Grace shares her favorite spooky cookie to bake, and Brian welcomes fall with jumbo Oatmeal Cream Sandwich Cookies and cheesy milk bread. 

Quote: “Pastry was my first love. Cakes, pies, cookies—that’s where my love began.”
