Chooses lemon ricotta muffins 🍋 for a light, fluffy texture.
Adds a honey glaze 🍯 to enhance the sweetness.
Keeps her workstation clean and organized.

🍪 Herb’s Strategy:

Goes all-in with a cinnamon roll-stuffed croissant 🌀.
Drizzles it with caramel sauce and crushed cookies. 🔥
His workstation? A total disaster zone.
Focuses on bold, indulgent flavors.

Mimi looks at Herb’s counter, covered in flour, caramel, and cookie crumbs. “Herb, are you baking or causing a kitchen explosion?”

Herb smirks. “Genius is never tidy.”
