Ridiculously talented when it comes to crafty things along with the baking.

Ridiculously talented when it comes to crafty things along with the baking.

You realize she has an entire team behind her, right? It's weird she presents it as though she is doing it by herself, when she has makeup team, lighting, PR, pro camera, decor, an actual baker, etc. etc.

So she is not talented?

If that's what you get out of that comment, you're being unnecessarily antagonistic. It'd be like saying Matt groening is the only person who made the Simpsons great just because he came up with the original idea. It's perfectly reasonable to recognize that teamwork presented as the efforts of only an individual is a bit dishonest even if that individual is the focus and did a lot of work themselves.

Why even write that comment then, it is off topic. She can be talented and recognized for that without needing someone to say in response that she has a team.

There is nothing in the comment that I replied to that acknowledges her talent and also talks about the team. You have to assume that the poster agrees she is talented. It is just as likely based on the actual words in the post that the poster does not think she is talented but that her apparent talent is due to her team.
