I am absolutely up for watching Claire and Sauci make Aunt Tillie's apple cake.

We need way more Sauci!! And the best part was her not picking up any of Claire’s hints: “do you want tea or coffee with these?” “Remember when we used to put butter on them while they were still warm?” 😂

[PabloRodRest]

A couple minutes in and im already in love with the banter between Claire and her mom. 😂❤️

"We're both left-handed, you know what that makes us?"
"Yes. Geniuses." I love Sauci so much!

Okay, this recipe is super easy. Not even 5 minutes in and I got up and made the recipe with you. Literally I finished putting the batter together just as my oven was finished heating up. Including getting out the ingredients.

Thank you Sauci and thank you Claire.

I just absolutely adore the way Dessert Person feels like a family affair: not just with Sauci and Harris, but also with Vinny and Cal, and Felix and Archie of course!

Thursday after coming home from making my mother's funeral arrangements, I watched this and it truly warmed my heart. People cast reflections of their mothers and you reflect a great one! Gratitude, peace, and love to you Claire.

I have been WAITING!!!! for a video with Claire’s mom!! This is so wholesome! 😍

[vigilantcosmicpenguin]

In the earlier episode, we saw how Claire prepares her coffee, and in this one the crew makes her coffee for her. I love this continuity.

[noora_a_saetre]

I'm so happy to see the mother-daughter dynamic again, I remember absolutely loving that Thanksgiving episode from bon appetite a while ago

[CaulkMongler]

Sauci is such a personality, I’d honestly watch a whole series of just these two doing random things!!

[ojaaaaaaaaaas]

19 minutes with Sauci and Claire were NOT enough!!

I learned in thermodynamics class The reason you would put water in the empty muffin cups is because the mass of the pan causes what is called heat soaking. The muffin pan will heat at a slower rate when the cups are full of muffin batter. The empty cups will heat much faster and the cups with batter will hold heat much longer. Adding water to the empty cups equals out the mass of the pan and causes an even heating pattern.

I would personally like to thank Sauci for molding and leading Claire into the amazing chief and author that we absolutely love and respect.
I could sit and drink coffee watching these ladies talk about baking all day.
She is a spicy woman… I love it.

[scruppydoo]

This video warmed my heart. Reminded me of baking with my mom. Shes disabled now and unable to cook with me now. But I still go to her house and she loves to hangout in the kitchen with me while I bake. Enjoy these moments Claire. You’ll never know when you will loose the moments.

[louisac]

I remember opening Dessert Person for the first time and seeing Claire's dedication to her mom. I'm so glad we finally got a video with her to see who first introduced Claire to baking! I'd love to see Aunt Tilly's apple cake made by Sauci and Claire sometime:)

[Caliyope]

My 9 year old daughter and I made these together, she pretty much did all the work and they were She said they were the best muffins she’s ever had, and she’s right ❤️

[elbacono]

You feel the love flowing when Sauci started talking about the mixer.

[miamoi]

I love your mom! She was freaking hilarious. Her blunt, dry commentary made me actually laugh out loud. More of mom!!!!
