What the creator captured
JOLLY explored Arome bakery in London, attempting to find the city's best pastry using a chaotic 'one-bite' review method. While the honey butter toast caused a massive divide in opinion, the egg tart was a unanimous standout, earning a perfect ten and nearly requiring physical restraint to stop them from eating more. Ultimately, they found the bakery's delicate lamination and unique flavor combinations to be exceptionally strong.
