This is long overdue, but way back in June, Cress Spring Bakery was featured in a short film created by Black Krim Creative in collaboration with the Brix Project. I forgot to post a link to the film after the initial screening, but if you're bored and want to spend 8 minutes of your life listening to me ramble about baking, please check out The Best Way I Know on the Brix Project page! There are a few other awesome short films there as well. https://brixcider.com/brixproject
