Demi Adejuyigbe joins Sydnee to talk about all things baking. Demi has spent the pandemic perfecting his macarons (not macaroons) and following recipe after recipe. He's a fan of baking because it makes him feel like a self-sufficient frontiersman, but he’s not fond of eggs, or egg juice! You can follow Demi, the karaoke king @electrolemon to see his comedy and baking creations! Follow Syd @justsydbw and write to her at hey@headgum.com.
