HELLO FRIENDS!! So, the internet loves croissants. And, coincidentally, so do I. So after falling down a cronut hole of croissant content - I decided, I needed to make some frickin croissants. And surprisingly, Black Box Bakery in Denver agreed to take me on as a pastry apprentice! Not only did I get a high-altitude pastry bootcamp - learning how to laminate my own dough, and roll my own classic croissants - but I also got to create my own custom, semi-goth, cream-filled croissant CUBE - that you can actually try at Black Box Bakery if you go there in person!! What do you think? Beetlejuice or beetleJUICY?

A big thank you to everyone at Black Box Bakery for helping us out with this video; make sure to check them out here! ​​www.blackboxbakery.com/
and www.instagram.com/blackbox_bakery/

If you’re interested in trying our custom croissant cube for yourself, they will be available Friday, Saturday, & Sunday for the next month! You can either pre-order the Safiya x Black Box Croissant online for pickup here order.toasttab.com/online/black-box-bakery-5505-w-… or visit Black Box Bakery in person while supplies last!

(this video is NOT sponsored by Black Box Bakery and we are not receiving any portion of their sales - they are just a cool small business we love!)

    HELLO FRIENDS!! a few weeks ago, i wanted to eat a quaso. 🥐✨so i went to a place that makes quaso. 🥐✨and i spent 2 days in a high-altitude pastry bootcamp, making my own custom quaso.🥐✨and i'm pretty happy about it. what do you guys think of our final pastries?? beetlejuice or beetle-JUICY? xoxo, saf
  • What i love about Safiya is that she goes to these business as playfully as she can, but when it's time to work, she follows every instruction and isn't there just to mess up their work or to bother them. She actually wants to learn and inform people around her; she's respectful, goofy and promotes small businesses the best way possible.This is what makes everything so much more enjoyable and fun
  • If anyone in the comments EVER complains about you posting fewer videos: girl, please never listen. You make such long, quality videos, it's worth waiting for them with how in-depth and informative and fun they are. For me (and probably for other people), it's like waiting for movies to premiere. Except the movie is a surprise, so it's even cooler. Keep on keeping on.

    Its nice to see that Ariel is really shown as a Baker not a content creator. It's especially refreshing to not see her fake an over the top reaction for the vid and just say "yeah, looks good" "mmhm" "not yet"
  • @JannieJubilee
    I always love these Safiya and Tyler learning different trades. It a great mix of "How It's Made" and "Dinners, Drive-ins, and Dives".
  • @IseeHospitals
    Safiya is one of the few YouTubers left from what i have personally deemed as the golden era of creator content. Please please please never stop unless you’re offered a television show bc you deserve it. Your content is such a comfort zone. ❤
  • @Jcatgrl
    a fake-sushi crube would be soooo fun. you could do a green cream for wasabi, little round candies for roe, and cookie crumbles for those crunchy bits.
  • I think using the dough scraps for the black stripe was probably the main issue. Because the dough wasn't made black from the start, trying to incorporate the color into already mixed dough meant it ended up getting overly mixed, so it got chewy and stretchy. It didn't quite fluff up the way the rest of the dough did.

    And when the world needed her most... SHE RETURNED 😢🎉💖🤗
  • @scoobydoo6986
    At this point, Safiya has more jobs than Barbie! And she deserves all of them!

    "The croissant capital of the world: Denver" french screaming can be heard in the distance
  • @auvaxons
    35:28 "There's so many ways you can mess up and she didn't" yessssss 👏👏👏 that's why i love Saf, she's funny yet respectful. They might just want her to be there just to promote their business, not much expectation but then proceed to teach her the whole thing and have fun with her
  • The fact that Netflix or Amazon hasn't given Safiya her own show boggles my mind Edit: Guys, please calm down. I'm not saying Safiya should stop making YouTube content. I'm just saying I can picture her on a streaming service hosting a limited docu-series centered on a specific topic, or maybe she's a judge in a competition show or something. Again, I am not saying she should stop making YouTube content. Please chill out.
  • Props to her for having the bravery to make croissants because I have friends who've made them and they swore never again
  • @fleur2jasmin
    As a french person, hearing the international capital of the croissant is Denver did what was expected : I'm all kinds of upset now 🤣 Thank you Safiya for your good vibes, you appease my mental health ♥

    The Wallace and Gromit reference!!! I can't express how much I love all your little callbacks and references and inside jokes, especially the food network references. Also the enthusiasm and love and respect you have for everything you do and everyone you collaborate with, your videos are a joy 🖤🖤🖤
  • I appreciate the space between these videos can you imagine all the work that went into this? Travel planning, bakery partnership negotiations, actual travel, staff coordination, scripting, editing…. God. Also did the bakery have to shut for two days for this, did THEY promote it?! Like wild. All for us to have a cute hilarious video of Saf making cwossaints.
  • When in culinary school for Patisserie and Baking, part of the first courses is to whisk your Whipped Cream by hand. So in a way, yes, it is a kind of hazing but also to make you appreciate how Bakers have been doing it for decades before Mixers, aside from present day Bakeries that don't have the Machines/Machines that break down.

    Now that is a chef that loves their job, they’re both having so much fun!
